Lena Dunham will host 'Saturday Night Live' ('SNL') for the first time next month.
The 'Girls' creator and star will make her debut on the New York-based comedy-sketch series, which has poked fun at her own hit show several times in the past, on March 8.
The 27-year-old actress shared the news, reported by Variety magazine, on Twitter on Tuesday (25.02.14), writing: "Thank you for the 'SNL' love. Can't wait to debut my character 'girl who googled serial killers all night & has lots to say!' "
Lena previously praised a parody of 'Girls' on the show in September, that featured then-host Tina Fey as an Albanian girl, Blerta, with a rubber hand and "Old Cow Disease," who joined the four young women trying to find their place in the world.
She called the sketch "a true honour," and also tweeted: "Very excited about the current line-up of 'SNL' ladies. They are funny like whoa."
The outspoken actress isn't likely to hold back during her upcoming appearance, as she recently revealed she thought she was "hallucinating" when she came across a photograph online of her boyfriend, fun. guitarist Jack Antonoff with his ex-girlfriend Scarlett Johansson.
She said: "I'm not jealous. It's very sweet. I love looking at pictures of them. She's beautiful, he's beautiful, but it was just so surreal to be looking through this blog that gives me so much pleasure and then there's my boyfriend. And I was like, 'My mind is going to explode.' I really did think I was hallucinating."

Charlie Sheen's new fiancée wants to get pregnant as soon as possible.
Brett Rossi wants them to start their own family immediately but the 'Anger Management' star is reportedly reluctant, as he already has five children from previous relationships and a seven-month-old granddaughter, Luna.
A source told gossip website RadarOnline.com: "Bret wants to start a family with Charlie immediately. She doesn't want to wait to have kids, and thinks Charlie will be an amazing father."
The insider said that the 48-year-old actor "isn't quite ready to become a father for the sixth time. He definitely wants kids with Brett, but he doesn't want to rush into it. This is the one thing they can't seem to agree on!"
Charlie proposed to Brett on Valentine's Day on February 14, after less than four months of dating.
The former 'Two and a Half Men' star has 29-year-old daughter, Cassandra, with former girlfriend Paula Profit, daughters Sam, nine, and Lola, eight, with second wife Denise Richards and twin sons Bob and Max, four, with former spouse Brooke Mueller, and previously said he was "open" to having kids with his 24-year-old fiancée.
But he added: "I'm having way too much fun with her right now. So much fun it should be illegal."
The former porn star is still legally married to her first husband Jonathan Ross, who filed for divorce from her last July.

Lindsay Lohan is no longer being sued for an alleged hit and run incident.
Nubia Del Carmen Preza has dropped the lawsuit she filed against the 27-year-old actress in 2012.
The nanny claimed she was pushing a baby stroller in West Hollywood in June 2010 when the 'Mean Girls' star hit her with her Maserati.
Preza's lawsuit stated she had suffered "disabling and serious personal injuries, pain, suffering and anguish" and that she was seeking damages for all her medical expenses and lost time at work.
A source told gossip website TMZ.com that Nubia has thrown in the towel and didn't get any financial settlement from the actress.
Lindsay has been trying to get her acting career back on track since being released from her last stint in rehab last year.
The red-haired beauty's father, Michael Lohan, recently said she had cut all of her bad friends out of her life to focus on filming the upcoming thriller, 'Inconceivable.'
He said: "She [Lindsay] has Randell Emmett, who produced 'Lone Survivor' and 'Broken City', helping her. She's cut the bad friends out of her life and is taking this seriously."
The former child star has also just wrapped on the production of her eight-part documentary 'Lindsay' with Oprah Winfrey, which is described as an "honest, no-holds-barred-account" of her efforts to lead a more positive life without the legal troubles and substance abuse that has plagued her career over the past few years.

Jessica Alba is no longer afraid of failure.
The 32-year-old actress and co-founder of The Honest Company used to feel she needed to be perfect but recently realised she doesn't "have to be a robot."
The 'Machete Kills' star said: "Before, I was so fearful of failure and judgment that I was scared to put myself out there.
"You don't have to be a robot, you don't have to be appropriate all the time."
Jessica, who has two daughters, Honor, five, and Haven, two, with husband Cash Warren, also told the March issue of Nylon magazine that she "used to be so hard on myself," but has learnt to embrace her mistakes.
She said: "You have to realise that as along as you don't make a habit of it, tomorrow will be here, and everything will be okay."
The Los Angeles-based star - who recently completed shooting two movies, 'Stretch' and 'Dear Eleanor,' and has five films in pre-production - has also developed a taste for characters who enable her to step outside her comfort zone, and believes acting is "like a drug."
She said: "I don't have to be a boss; I don't have to be a wife; I don't have to be a sister.
"It's been liberating to be able to play someone who's a badass or promiscuous because that's the opposite of who I am ... It's like a drug."

Tori Spelling's husband has checked out of rehab.
Dean McDermott, who entered a treatment facility in Los Angeles for personal issues early last month after he was accused of cheating on the former 'Beverly Hills 90210' star, was spotted outside their home with the couple's eldest daughter Stella, five, on Monday (24.02.14).
The 'Chopped Canada' host, 47, was carrying several children's car seats away from the property, according to UsMagazine.com.
Tori, who also has three other children, Liam, six, Hattie, two, and 18-month-old Finn, with her husband of seven years, was not present.
A source recently admitted the 40-year-old star isn't sure whether she can save her marriage.
The insider said: "Tori keeps waffling. Even if they reconcile, it's going to be hard to trust him," but added: "Tori doesn't want her kids to grow up without their dad in the house."
The couple are scheduled to film another reality TV show 'Tori & Dean: Cabin Fever' this spring, according to Deadline, and the actress has already starting working on the show.
Moving vans were seen transferring furniture out of their rental home in Encino, California last Thursday (20.02.14), and a spokesperson told the MailOnline website: "It was production. She was shooting some interviews for her show. She's not moving."

Khloe Kardashian still dreams of becoming a mother.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star struggled with fertility issues during her four-year marriage to Lamar Odom, whom she filed for divorce from in December, but "prays" she will have her own family in the future.
The 29-year-old beauty said: "I love kids. I hope and pray I have kids when the time is right."
But she insists she has no regrets about ending her marriage, adding: "I live for the moment. If you think too far in the future, you might get disappointed or set the bar too low. It sucks at times, but everything happens for a reason, no matter how sh***y your circumstances are. To say where I want to be in 10 years...I have no idea. I just know that I want to be happy and smiling."
Khloe, who reportedly kept her estranged husband's alleged battle with crack cocaine a secret from her family for two years, also admits to her mother Kris Jenner during an interview for the US April issue of Cosmopolitan magazine that she often keeps her problems to herself.
She said: "I'm not a big 'cry on a shoulder' person. I'm very introverted when it comes to my own stuff. Everyone has issues, and I'm not someone who likes to burden people."
She added: "That's just how I am. I hold things in. I don't know why."
Khloe's relationship and split from Lamar has been documented for her family's reality series, but she said: "People hate us for showing stuff and they hate us when we say, 'Fine, we won't show it anymore.' I don't have any regrets. I wouldn't change a thing. You learn as you go."

Paula Patton attended the Grammy Awards with Robin Thicke "as a favour" last month.
The duo agreed to put on a united front before they announced their split on Monday (24.02.14), after almost nine years of marriage, but they began "unravelling a long time" ago and their relationship reportedly got rockier after Miley Cyrus twerked against the 'Blurred Lines' hitmaker at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) last August.
A source told UsMagazine.com: "The Miley Cyrus fiasco was a big test of their relationship. He asked her to help him out as a friend and a wife, and defend him and the performance. He begged her to speak out for him and be there for him.
"She agreed to be the good wife after he begged and pleaded. Then he asked her to stick with him through awards season, and she agreed. She attended the Grammys with him as a favour."
Paula, 38, frequently voiced her support for raunchy performance and previously said: "They rehearsed for three days. Robin told me in advance. I thought it was great."
The 'Baggage Claim' star also defended Robin, 36, after he was photographed grabbing a model's butt at a VMA after-party and was accused of cheating on her.
But the insider said: "Their marriage was unravelling a long time. It is not a shock to Robin or Paula, and it is something they have discussed for a long time."
The couple, who have a three-year-old son, Julian, together, released a joint statement on Monday that read: "We will always love each other and be best friends. However, we have mutually decided to separate at this time."

Angelina Jolie wants to teach her children about the "strength of the human spirit".
The 38-year-old actress - who raises kids Maddox, 12, Pax, 10, Zahara, eight, Shiloh, seven, and twins Knox and Vivienne, five, with fiance Brad Pitt - has stepped behind the camera again for 'Unbroken', which tells the tale of World War II hero and former Olympic distance runner Louis Zamperini and she is hopeful the movie will send a positive message.
Angelina said: "For me, I think Louis has been very clear about what his message is. And I think, for my children, and for everybody in the world, I want to be able to say, it can seem dark, and it can seem hopeless, and it can seem very overwhelming, but the resilience and the strength of the human spirit is an extraordinary thing."
'Unbroken' marks Angelina's third venture into directing and she knew whatever project she took on had to mean something significant to her.
Speaking on the 'Today' show, she said: "I wanted to direct something again, but I just wasn't sure what. And it had to be something that I would love and care about, because it takes much more time away from your family, and much more effort than acting."
And the 'Maleficent' star - who lives in the same Los Angeles neighbourhood as Louis, 97 - felt a "responsibility" to the story because of the bond she forged with the war hero.
She said: "[It's] such a huge responsibility to get it right. Because I love [Louis] so much. And because he's helped me so much in my life."

Scarlett Johansson follows her "instincts".
The 29-year-old actress insists she doesn't worry about what audiences or movie executives think of her career choices as she always puts her "artistic integrity" first.
In an extract from her interview with Dazed magazine obtained by JustJared.com, she said: "You have to have your own artistic integrity, and then you don't cave in to pressure. I don't know what the audience or the studio are going to like. I just follow my instincts."
The 'Avengers' actress - who was previously married to Ryan Reynolds and is now engaged to Romain Dauriac - also spoke of how she has come to terms with her figure being "objectified".
She said: "How could I wake up every day and be a normal person if I was completely aware that my image was being manipulated on a global platform. How could I sleep? You have to have peace of mind. You've got to be able to protect those things. How else could you exist? You'd go crazy, anybody would go crazy..."
