Jonah Hill, the two-time Academy Award nominee, returns to host the popular variety show "Saturday Night Live" for the fifth time. Hill, who has previously hosted SNL in 2008, 2012, 2014 and 2016, is one of the show's most beloved hosts and had set the recurring monologue record on his last hosting gig. This time, he's joined by musical guest Maggie Rogers, a breakout music artist who recently topped the Billboard charts with her debut album earlier this year.

The show, which is known for its timely and often hilarious political sketches, is expected to feature a host of parodies on the current political scene. Hill himself has been pretty vocal about his dislike for the Trump administration, and has previously made his views widely known on his Twitter account. So, it comes as no surprise that the season 44 episode 5 of SNL would have its share of political commentary and jabs.

In his opening monologue, Hill talks about his current weight loss transformation and the changes he's been through since the last time he hosted the show. He even gives a nod to his "Wolf of Wall Street" co-star, Leonardo DiCaprio, for helping him get in shape for his upcoming role in the film "The Ballad of Richard Jewell." Hill also takes a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about his previous hosting gigs on the show and how he's grown as a person since then. His monologue is peppered with jokes and self-deprecating humor, which is a trademark of his comedic style.

The show also features a number of funny sketches that are sure to bring laughs to viewers. One sketch features a panel of scientists who have developed a new dating app that matches people based on their love for different types of soup. Another sketch has Hill playing a fashion icon who is launching his own line of totally impractical and bizarre clothing. Expect a lot of laughs and incredulity from the audience and viewers at home.

As for the musical performance, Maggie Rogers makes her debut appearance on SNL. The singer-songwriter, who gained fame after a video of Pharrell Williams reacting to her music went viral, performs a selection of her popular songs from her debut album, including "Fallingwater" and "Light On." Rogers' unique sound and soulful voice are sure to enchant the audience and add a touch of artistry to the show.

The show closes with the usual goodbyes and the cast and Hill gather onstage to give the customary goodnight wave. With Hill's return to SNL, viewers and fans can expect a night of laughter, political commentary, and a unique musical performance from one of music's up-and-coming talents.
