Zooey Deschanel has commented that she's had so much fun working on Saturday Night Live this week.
The New Girl actress hosts SNL for the first time this weekend along with musical guests Karmin, who will also be making their debut on the late-night series.
Deschanel discussed her excitement to guest host Saturday Night Live during an appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on Thursday (February 9).
"I'm so excited. It's really, really fun," she told Jimmy Fallon. "Everyone's so nice. [There's a] great cast, great writers. Nice people!"
Deschanel also told Fallon that she has wanted to host Saturday Night Live ever since she watched the show religiously as a child.
"[I'm a] big fan. I used to tape it growing up and watch the tapes over and over again until the VHS ran out," she recalled. "I most remember the Dana Carvey and Mike Myers (early 1990s) era when I was a little kid."
Saturday Night Live airs at 11.30/10.30c on NBC.
It was announced earlier this week that Bridesmaids star Maya Rudolph will return to Saturday Night Live with musical guests Sleigh Bells on February 18.
