LOS ANGELES: Dakota Johnson is set to host the next episode of Saturday Night Live, airing Feb. 28, the actress herself announced during an “audience questions” sketch during Sunday’s 40th anniversary special.

Johnson of course is starring opposite Jamie Dornan in 'Fifty Shades of Grey', which dominated the box office in this, its opening weekend. The actress is no stranger to comic roles. Her comedy credentials includes the one-and-done Fox comedy Ben and Kate, and an appearance on The Office.

Dakota's actress mother Melanie Griffith hosted Saturday Night Live in 1988.

A musical guest has yet to be announced for Johnson’s hosting debut.
