Comedian Aziz Ansari will host Saturday Night Live on January 21, thereby making history as the show's first host of South Asian descent. More than 90 per cent of SNL's hosts have been white, and only two celebrities of Asian descent - Jackie Chan and Lucy Liu - have hosted the show earlier. The stand-up comic and television star won his first Emmy (in the outstanding writing for a comedy series category) after earning four noms for his Netflix series, Master of None.
