Lily Gladstone is currently in the running for her first Oscar for Killers of the Flower Moon, but there’s still one dream she’s yet to accomplish. The Golden Globe-winning actress revealed she’d like to host the hit NBC sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live.
The Oscar-nominated actress opened up about her love for SNL during a recent interview with People and said that hosting this show is one dream that she held onto on her own.
“It’s like my parents – and I think it’s just what people say when you have an aspiration to act, and they want to encourage you as a kid – it’s like, ‘Oh, you’ll get an Oscar one day.’ So it almost just becomes a platitude. But the thing that I’ve always wanted to do if I’ve had this moment is to host SNL,” said Gladstone.
Hosting SNL would make a major career shift for Gladstone, who’s mostly known for her dramatic role. She most recently led Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, which earned her an Academy Award nomination for the best actress.
The list of Gladstone’s TV projects includes Billions and Reservation Dogs, and we’ll soon see her star in Hulu’s true crime drama Under the Bridge.
