13 of the Youngest "Saturday Night Live" Hosts of All Time

Ortega is set to host "SNL" for the first time on March 11, 2023, with musical guest The 1975.

The year Britney Spears could legally vote, she dropped a decade-defining album and hosted "Saturday Night Live." Spears came onto the late-night comedy show on May 13, 2000, as the host and a musical guest at 18 years old at the time. She had released ". . . Baby One More Time" a year before and was set to release "Oops! . . . I Did It Again" three days after her "SNL" gig. She'd return to the show again in 2002 as a host and a musical guest, and in 2003 as just a musical guest.

Just breaking free from her Hannah Montana persona, Miley Cyrus arrived on the "Saturday Night Live" stage as the host on March 5, 2011, almost a year after starring in "The Last Song" with Liam Hemsworth and releasing her "Can't Be Tamed" album. Cyrus would host two more times, in 2013 and 2015. She's also appeared as a musical guest six times.

Fashion icons Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen came onto "SNL" in 2004 shortly before their 18th birthdays to promote their film "New York Minute," which, incidentally, happens to be the last movie they starred in together. After they turned 18, the twin sisters became entrepreneurs and have moved away from acting — though their sister Elizabeth has taken up the mantle.

Best known as Bella Swan's werewolf love interest, Taylor Lautner graced the "Saturday Night Live" stage on Dec. 12, 2009, just two months shy of turning 18. And yes, he was on "Twilight"-promoting duty, with "New Moon" coming out in November of that year. That month, Taylor Swift also mentioned him during her monologue when she hosted (they reportedly broke up that December, inspiring her song "Back to December).

Lindsay Lohan was still a one-time teenage drama queen when she hosted "SNL" on May 1, 2004, two months before turning 18. After playing several Disney characters, Lohan starred in the Tina Fey-penned cult hit "Mean Girls," which came out in April of that year. She made another cameo on "SNL" that December and hosted again in 2005, 2006, and 2012.

Best known for playing Theo Huxtable on "The Cosby Show," Malcolm-Jamal Warner was 16 when he hosted "SNL" on Oct. 18, 1986. He's continued to work in TV and currently stars on Fox's "The Resident."

Prior to his hosting gig at age 13, Fred Savage had some success on the big screen with "Little Monsters" and "The Princess Bride." But what he was most known for at the time when he hosted "SNL" on Feb. 24, 1990, is his character Kevin Arnold from "The Wonder Years."

"SNL" invited "Macaulay Culkin" to host at the height of his child acting career in 1991, just a month before Christmas. He had just starred in "Home Alone" the year before and had been lending his voice to the animated TV series "Wish Kid." His brother, "Succession"'s Kieran Culkin, appeared in one sketch with him, and finally got to host his own episode in 2021.

At just age 7, Drew Barrymore became the youngest person to host "SNL," appearing on the show in 1982 to promote "E.T." Her career has bloomed over the years, as she became an onscreen icon and a beauty entrepreneur for the brand Flower. She's also part of "SNL"'s Five-Timers Club, as she hosted again in 1999, 2001, 2004, 2007, and 2009. With her hit daytime show "The Drew Barrymore Show," we think it's definitely time for a sixth hosting gig.
