Adam Levine to host Saturday Night Live

New York - Adam Levine will make his Saturday Night Live hosting debut on 26 January.

While The Voice judge and Maroon 5 frontman will host for the first time ever in the episode which will feature musical guest Kendrick Lamar, he has previously appeared in a digital short on the comedy sketch show with Andy Samberg and Fred Armisen.

Adam's appearance will take place once week after Silver Linings Playbook star Jennifer Lawrence makes her SNL debut on 19 January with a performance from The Lumineers.

'Shakira is a new friend'

Adam recently revealed he will miss Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green on The Voice as they take a season off to focus on their respective music careers but admitted he is excited about their replacements Usher and Shakira.

He said: "Christina and Cee Lo are so close to my heart because we went through the show becoming a success together and Usher and Shakira are coming into it as a big institution. So it's different but it still feels good because they are legitimate artists.

"I knew Usher before. We've worked in the studio a couple of times together. Shakira is a new friend but I love her dearly already. She's so sweet and adorable and hilarious."

Saturday Night Live airs in South Africa on DStv's Comedy Central channel 122 on Saturdays at 19:30.
