Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect) is hosting Saturday Night Live for the first time this Saturday, April 5. SNL has released their promo video for this week's show. As it is Kendrick's first time hosting, it seems like she has many questions about the show.

"I do have one question, um, when does the show air?" Kendrick asks in the video.

"Saturday. It's Saturday Night Live," Taran Killam, SNL cast member, replies.

"But when does it tape?"

"No... no tape. It's live. It's Saturday Night LIVE."

"Is it during the day?"

"No.. it's at night. It's Saturday NIGHT Live."

It can be confusing for Kendrick, as it is her first time! Glad she got the facts down straight.

In the next segment, the 28-year-old actress was asked to name what could be more fun than this Saturday's SNL episode by Killam. Kendrick responds, "Sumo wrestling in doughnut batter? A mansion full of monkey butlers? A tickle fight with puppies while I'm wearing a bikini made of bacon?" Hopefully, such things will be shown in this week's episode! In the segment following that, the promo shows Kendrick and Killam harmonizing together. They keep harmonizing higher and higher until a glass breaks. "Happy" singer Pharrell Williams will star as the musical guest.

In anticipation of her first SNL hosting gig, Kendrick told E! News, "I need to work on my impressions...and work on my Kanye!" The actress said she would like to do a spoof of the Kanye and Kim Vogue cover "[I] would make a very funny North," she said.

Kendrick also made an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on last night, Tuesday (April 1), in New York City. She was joined on the show by Nick Cannon, who recently stirred up a controversy by sporting whiteface. Kendrick has been super busy, outside of her SNL gigg, as it was recently announced that she has joined the cast of Jennifer Aniston's upcoming film Cake.
