Jennifer Lawrence is ready to return to Saturday Night Live.
During her Tuesday appearance on Good Hang With Amy Poehler, the Die My Love star reflected on her only time hosting the sketch comedy series in 2013 with the former SNL castmember. When asked what her memories of doing SNL were like by Amy Poehler, Lawrence replied “skewed,” noting that she’d like a do-over because she was under pressure during her debut on the show.
“I have to go back and do it again because I had walking pneumonia. I was under a lot of pressure and doing a lot, and I was shooting one of the Hunger Games movies,” she explained. “I was shooting, I think the second one, while doing all of this campaign and I would have to like fly, go to a party, shake hands and then land and shook. Like, poor me! But I was very tired.”
The Oscar winner hosted SNL on Jan. 19, 2013, the first episode of that year for the series’ 29th season, during a press tour for Silver Linings Playbook. She was joined by musical guest The Lumineers. Lawrence also had one additional cameo on Nov. 15, 2014, alongside her Hunger Games co-stars while Woody Harrelson hosted.
“I remember I was also at that bad age. I don’t know if other people were like this at this age, but where you get asked, ‘Can you do any impressions or anything?’ And I was like, ‘No.’ I don’t want to be like, ‘And I can do this and I can do that!’” Lawrence added. “I just kind of made everything like everybody else’s problem. I was like, ‘I don’t know how to do that. I can’t do that.’”
Season 51 of SNL is currently underway, with Bad Bunny, Amy Poehler, Sabrina Carpenter, Miles Teller, Nikki Glaser, Glen Powell, Melissa McCarthy, Josh O’Connor and Finn Wolfhard having all taken turns as host. Golden Globe winner Teyana Taylor and Alexander Skarsgard will also serve as hosts on Jan. 24 and 31, respectively.
