Saturday Night Live made some exciting announcements on Thursday for the month of April. Anna Kendrick, the Oscar nominated Pitch Perfect actress will be hosting SNL for the first time. She will be accompanied by musical guest Pharrell Williams, who is also making his first solo appearance on the show.

Kendrick has a few films coming out later this year, included "The Last Five Years," a musical comedy-drama also starring Jeremy Jordan, and "Into the Woods" with Johnny Depp and Meryl Streep. She started generating a buzz after starring in the film "Pitch Perfect," for which she performed the very popular song "Cups." Pharrell, whose Oscar-nominated "Happy" continues to top the charts, also released his newest musical effort, G I R L, earlier this month.

SNL also announced that actor Seth Rogen will be returning to the Studio 8H stage for his third time hosting on the April 12 episode, with musical guest Ed Sheeran. Rogen's newest movie "Neighbors," also starring Zac Efron and Rose Byrne, will hit theaters on May 9. Ed Sheeran is making his debut as a SNL musical guest and will be premiering the first single from his second album.

"Girls" creator and actress Lena Dunham hosted the last episode of SNL, on March 8, with musical guest The National. The show has been on break for a few weeks and will be returning on March 29 with host Louis C.K. (his second time hosting) with musical guest Sam Smith. Smith, an English singer/songwriter, was featured on a song with Disclosure and also will be releasing his debut album, In the Lonely Hour, in the U.S. on June 17.
