Jennifer Lawrence Wants an ‘SNL’ Do-Over, Citing Illness During 2013 Hosting

The actor told Amy Poehler’s Good Hang podcast that walking pneumonia, coupled with a grueling schedule, distorted the experience.

Overview

  • Lawrence said she hopes to return to host Saturday Night Live to redo her lone hosting stint from 2013.
  • She recalled having walking pneumonia during the Jan. 19, 2013 episode, which coincided with her Silver Linings Playbook press tour.
  • The appearance overlapped with filming a Hunger Games movie and extensive travel, which she said left her exhausted.
  • She described resisting requests to perform impressions or extra skills at the time, calling herself at a “bad age.”
  • No booking has been announced, as SNL Season 51 continues with upcoming hosts Teyana Taylor on Jan. 24 and Alexander Skarsgard on Jan. 31.
