Waltz in Django Unchained

Oscar-nominated actor Christoph Waltz is the latest to be crowned host of Saturday Night Live . Waltz, fresh off a Golden Globe win and Oscar nomination for Django Unchained, will host the show on February 16th. While there will almost certainly be a nod to that film or Inglorious Basterds in the sketches, we're hoping for a Carnage-esque Brooklyn parenting parody. Joining him as musical guest will be the recently Grammy-nominated Alabama Shakes.

The show will be a world away from the preceding week, when Justin Bieber will both host and perform musical duties.
