Lindsay Lohan, who was recently seen flaunting her bod in a Playboy spread, is set to host Saturday Night Live on March 3.

The show tweeted: “That’s right: March 3rd, @lindsaylohan with musical guest Jack White!! See you then! #SNL #March3rd.” To which Lohan responded, “SNL! I love @NBC !!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Though the actress does not have any new film or music projects to promote, she is not a stranger to the SNL stage. The March 3 appearance will be her fourth time hosting, but her first time back since 2006.

Lohan was a popular face on SNL in the mid-2000s when Tina Fey was the head writer. The two starred together in “Mean Girls.”

The Hollywood Reporter writes that Lohan and the show have maintained a good relationship. She has publicly referred to Lorne Michaels, the show’s producer, as a mentor and father figure.

According to TMZ, Lohan reached out to Michaels and asked if she could do the show again. She said that hosting SNL will remind people that she is an actress and not a “defendant.”

After stealing a necklace from a Venice, Calif. jewelry store, Lohan was sentenced to home confinement and had to complete community service. This, though, will not stop her from appearing on the comedy sketch show next month.
