Jenna Ortega will make her ‘Saturday Night Live’ hosting debut this weekend, with fans no doubt eager to see the ‘Wednesday’ and ‘Scream VI’ star in action.

The hosting duties fall on the same weekend that the latest ‘Scream’ movie hit theaters, with the movie already on track for a stellar opening weekend.

What time is Jenna Ortega hosting ‘Saturday Night Live’?

‘Saturday Night Live’ with Jenna Ortega as host airs on Saturday, March 11 at 11:30 p.m. ET/ 10:30 p.m. CT. She’ll be joined by musical guest The 1975.

The show has been gearing up for the 20-year-old’s appearance by releasing promos involving the actress all week. In one, Ortega found herself in the SNL studio reading over her script and a possible promotional idea.

“Honestly this is really well written,” Ortega says. “I just really don’t feel like I want to do the Wednesday dance for promo because we’ve seen so much of that already and I think it’s time to do something new.”

From there, the camera turns to the PDD (Please Don’t Destroy) trio of Ben Marshall, John Higgins and Martin Herlihy all dressed in the iconic Wednesday dance outfit.

After playing down their desire to do the famous dance, and stating that they didn’t know their outfits were the same as her character, Ortega reluctantly joins the trio in performing the now viral dance.

Ortega also recently spoke with NBC about her upcoming SNL debut, and she admits she can’t wait to get to work in Studio 8H.

“It’s been really exciting,” she said. “I think I always wanted to come to the show. And I remember when I was younger, I tried to come in, but I wasn’t of age. So they just took me on a tour instead.

“So I’ve seen all of these places before it, but to actually be working here and getting to know the cast, who is so unbelievably funny all the time. It’s fun. It’s a lot of fun.”
