NEW YORK, Dec. 5 (UPI) -- John Malkovich and Hugh Laurie, actors known primarily for their dramatic work, are to be guest hosts on "Saturday Night Live" in New York, NBC announced.

Malkovich agreed to make his third appearance on the sketch comedy show Saturday after turning in a pair of critically acclaimed 2008 performances in Clint Eastwood's "Changeling," opposite Angelina Jolie, and in the Coen Brothers' comedy "Burn After Reading," co-starring Jolie's partner Brad Pitt.

Malkovich's other film credits include "Being John Malkovich," "In The Line of Fire," "Of Mice and Men," "Dangerous Liaisons," "Empire of the Sun," "The Killing Fields" and "Places in the Heart."

Joining Malkovich on Saturday's show will be Grammy Award-winning musical guest T.I.

British "House" star Laurie is to be "SNL's" guest host Dec. 13, marking his third appearance on the show. The actor has also had roles in the movies "Street Kings," "Flight of the Phoenix," "Sense and Sensibility" and "Peter's Friends," as well as in the "Stuart Little" flicks.
