"Saturday Night Live" has announced two more sets of hosts and performers for the month of October.

Emily Blunt will host the Oct. 15 show with musical guest Bruno Mars. Blunt is promoting her new film "The Girl on the Train" which opens in theaters this weekend.

Then, on Oct. 22, Tom Hanks will take the stage for the opening monologue, while Lady Gaga performs. Gaga's album "Joanne" will be released a day prior on Oct. 21.

Hanks has hosted the live sketch comedy show nine times, with his first appearance in 1985. His film "Inferno," the latest in the "Da Vinci Code" series, hits theaters Oct. 28. He also stars in "Sully," which opened in September.
