Get ready Twihards, Kristen Stewart will be making her hosting debut on Saturday Night Live next month.

She will take charge on the pre-Super Bowl episode on February 4, along with musical guest Alessia Cara, who most recently provided the credits song 'How Far I'll Go' for Disney's Moana.

Kristen joins her fellow Twilight star Taylor Lautner in hosting the long-running sketch show after he appeared on SNL in 2009.

We're betting there will probably be a Twilight sketch, like there was when Taylor hosted.

She has previously spoken about wanting to host the show, way back in 2010.

"I would love to say yes for sure, but that is really, really scary," she told E! News. "I am so critical of myself and then also of people who are on the show. It's like, 'Nope you're not funny - next!'."

Last night's (January 21) SNL saw a touching musical farewell to President Barack Obama as cast members Cecily Strong and Sasheer Zamata sung 'To Sir With Love'.

The track is the theme to the 1967 movie of the same name, which sees a group of students serenade their teacher, and was originally performed by Lulu. Strong and Zamata also jokingly got Obama a "World's Best President" mug.

It was a very musical episode overall as Kate McKinnon reprised her take on Kellyanne Conway for a Chicago-inspired sketch and host Aziz Ansari took part in a La La Land interrogation.

Saturday Night Live returns on February 4.
