Daniel Radcliffe to host “Saturday Night Live”

Daniel Radcliffe has spent much of the past year starring on Broadway in the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

But the star of the Harry Potter franchise wraps up that engagement on New Year’s Eve and will be free to do other things.

His first post-Broadway gig: hosting Saturday Night Live!

The star of stage and screen, who has emerged as a staunch supporter of LGBT causes, will host the Jan. 14, 2012 edition of the show which enjoyed ratings for its most recent episode with guest host Jimmy Fallon.

Radcliffe’s appearance happens to come two weeks before the Feb. 3 release of his next feature film, the supernatural thriller The Woman in Black.
