Lena Dunham to make ‘Saturday Night Live’ hosting debut March 8

Lena Dunham’s quest for world domination continues on March 8, when she is set to host “Saturday Night Live� for the first time.

In addition to writing and starring in “Girls,� currently in its third season on HBO, Dunham also has a memoir, “Not That Kind of Girl,� coming out in October. She also generated buzz earlier this month with her much-discussed Vogue cover.

Dunham, who won a Golden Globe last year for her performance on “Girls,� has been too busy with her own projects to show off her comedy chops elsewhere. Her last significant appearance outside of the series was in a supporting role in Judd Apatow’s “This is 40� in 2012.

It seems likely that cast member Noel Wells will revive her spot-on Dunham impression during the March 8 broadcast, but here’s hoping Blerta will also make a return visit.

Dunham will be joined by musical guest the National.
