SNL also recently announced Ramy Youssef and Travis Scott as host and musical guest on March 30.
Wiig was a recurring cast member on Saturday Night Live for seven seasons between 2005 and 2012.
The seasoned entertainer has already hosted four times, with two shows taking place in 2020.

For his part, Ryan has taken on hosting duties twice — once in 2015 and another time in 2017.
His performance on the Oscars stage days ago featured a 40-piece orchestra, 62 Kens, 24 supersize Barbie heads, and a surprise appearance from Guns N Roses guitarist Slash, 58.
It took months to coordinate, with the actor ‘planning out every single moment.’
Choreographer Mandy Moore shared insight on the inspiration and detailed prepping.

Choreographer Mandy shared that Ryan wanted to pay homage to the movie scene and include co-stars Margot and America Ferrera, as well as director Greta Gerwig, longtime friend Emma Stone, and a cameraman.
Explaining how the star planned ‘every second,’ she said: ‘He wanted to start in the audience, come up see Mark, see Andrew [Wyatt the co-producer], ignite the Ken-delabras and then join the 10 dejected Kens on the stairs.
‘From there he wanted the rest of the number to evolve as if Kens were coming from everywhere, “Calling All Kens.” Eventually ending in a huge celebration revealing Slash.’
In an interview with Variety, producers revealed they only had two six-hour days to record and rehearse everything and one full run-through with everyone.
