The National to perform on Saturday Night Live with host Lena Dunham

Brooklyn is taking over Saturday Night Live on March 8. Girls creator Lena Dunham will host with The National performing as musical guests. Dunham is finishing up her third season of the HBO series while The National is continuing to support last years' Grammy-nominated Trouble Will Find Me.

Saturday Night Live returns this weekend with host Jim Parsons and musical guest Beck. With Seth Meyer's departure from the show, this weekend will also mark the debut of head writer Colin Jost as the new "Weekend Update" co-anchor, joining Cecily Strong.

We're hoping to see Matt Berninger and company in sketch or two. Back in October, the band showed off their acting chops on The Mindy Project. While you wait for March 8 to come around, check out the new video for "I Need My Girl." Let us know what you think in the comments section below!
