Let the "Moneyball" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" jokes commence as NBC has announced Jonah Hill will host "Saturday Night Live" for the third time on Jan. 25.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Hill will be joined by musical guest Bastille, a U.K. band that will be making their SNL debut. SNL is set to return on Jan. 18 with host/musical guest Drake.
Hill has been stirring up the headlines amidst the controversy "The Wolf of Wall Street" has created. Hill addressed the film's criticism as while receiving an acting award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival on Sunday, USA Today reports.
Many have criticized Martin Scorsese's film as promoting self-indulgent, immoral behavior. The film is based on the story of Wall Street broker Jordan Belfort and all the bad things he did to make money.
"I don't agree with anything (the characters) did in the film," Hill told the audience while accepting his Creative Impact in Acting Award.
"The point of the movie is that criminally these people didn't get punished for what they were doing," Hill said. "That doesn't mean that this kind of bad behavior and excess and treating people poorly didn't lead to a bad ending for them."
Hill is also aware of the movie's use of the f-word, which was 506 times, according to USA Today.
"I heard about that. I'll blame that on (screenwriter) Terence Winter," said Hill. "I don't think there's a trophy for that, though."
However, Hill did aid he wished his Creative Impact in Acting Award trophy was engraved, so he can show it off to his friends.
"I'm just a little bummed because it doesn't say that this is an award anywhere," Hil saidl. "My friends are going to think I just went out and bought some glass-blown vase. I might have to take it to an engraver and have him put 'Acting Award' on it."
