NBC will not air an original episode of “Saturday Night Live” on Saturday, November 25.

It will, however, be back with a new episode on December 2.

That episode will feature Saoirse Ronan as host. U2 will be the musical guest.

Ronan will be making her “SNL” hosting debut. U2 will be a second-time musical guest; the iconic band first appeared on the season 35 premiere in 2009.

The lineup was revealed during this weekend’s “SNL.” Currently underway, the episode features host Chance The Rapper and musical guest Eminem.
