Coming off a summer in which his directorial debut, “Ted,” was the season’s breakout hit comedy, Seth MacFarlane will take a victory lap as the host of “Saturday Night Live” for its premiere on Sept. 15, NBC said on Wednesday. Mr. MacFarlane, the creator and star of the Fox animated comedy “Family Guy” (who moonlights as a big-band singer), will be joined for the start of the 38th “SNL” season by musical guest Frank Ocean, and a cast that is still in flux but will include stalwarts like Bill Hader and Fred Armisen.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who didn’t have such a shabby summer himself in films like “The Dark Knight Rises” and “Premium Rush,” will make his second appearance as an “SNL” host on Sept. 22, in an episode that will also feature Mumford & Sons as its musical guest.
And if parachuting into the London Olympics with Queen Elizabeth II weren’t exciting enough, Daniel Craig will leap into his first hosting role on the Oct. 6 broadcast of “Saturday Night Live,” with Muse, the British rock band that created the official song for the 2012 Summer Olympics. Mr. Craig will be promoting the new James Bond movie, “Skyfall” – yes, “Skyfall” – which opens on Nov. 9.
