Billie Eilish will be pulling double duty for the penultimate 2021 episode of SNL on December 11, appearing for her second time as musical guest and her first as host. Eilish's first time as the show's musical guest was back in September of 2019. 

Eilish will be joining the likes of Paul Simon, the Rolling Stones (yes, the whole band), Debbie Harry, Stevie Wonder, Britney Spears and Dolly Parton as artists who've hosted and performed on the same episode. 

After Eilish's appearance, the final SNL episode of 2021 will see Paul Rudd return for his fifth hosting gig with musical guest Charli XCX, who will also be performing on the SNL stage for the second time. Charli first appeared on the show way back in 2014, where she performed "Boom Clap" and "Break the Rules." 

Eilish released her sophomore record Happier Than Ever this year, while Charli's feature-heavy Crash is arriving in March. You can currently see Rudd in Jason Reitman's Ghostbusters: Afterlife
