(#8) Taylor Lautner
- 27
Ah, Taylor Lautner. The Twihards lost their collective minds when Jacob graced the 'SNL' stage as a host on December 12, 2009. Lautner was 17 at the time, earning him a spot on this (amazingly, non-'Twilight') list. He explains that when 'SNL' first started, he was "negative 18 at the time."
In his opening monologue, Lautner defends his (then) girlfriend, Taylor Swift. As a friend. Mmmhmmm. Sure. And he shows off some nifty karate moves.

(#2) Macaulay Culkin
- 38
Child actor Macaulay Culkin earns a spot on this list as the second-youngest person ever to pull 'Saturday Night Live' hosting duties. Culkin was 11 years old when he hosted 'SNL' on November 23, 1991 - the year in-between the releases of the movies that made him famous, 'Home Alone' and 'Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.'
Like most 'SNL' hosts, Culkin also took part in several skits, including this one, entitled "Bill Swerski's Super Fans." It's about Da Bears, and sixth graders (including Macaulay and his brother, Kieran Culkin).

(#4) Jodie Foster
- 56
Actress Jodie Foster was 14 years old when she hosted 'Saturday Night Live' on November 27, 1976. That particular year was huge for Foster, as she starred in three films: 'Taxi Driver,' 'Bugsy Malone' and 'Freaky Friday.' Her performance in 'Taxi Driver' earned her an Oscar nomination (the first of many).
She was becoming very, very famous. During her monologue, Foster read a note from her mom, giving her permission to stay up past bedtime to host.

(#3) Fred Savage
- 42
Actor Fred Savage was 13 when he hosted 'SNL' on February 24, 1990. At the time, Savage was starring on the ABC comedy-drama 'The Wonder Years' as Kevin Arnold. Fred Savage was born on July 9, 1976. Why is this significant?
Because he wasn't even a fetus when 'Saturday Night Live' first aired on October 11, 1975! Savage did a great job alongside Dana Carvey's Church Lady, by the way, as her niece, Enid.

(#10) Justin Bieber
- 24
Justin Bieber hosted a February 2013 episode at just 18 years old and at the height of his fame. Later, that episode would earn him the title of worst-behaved host on Saturday Night Live, as dubbed by Bill Hader and Jay Pharaoh on an episode of Watch What Happens Live.
-
(#6) Lindsay Lohan
- 32
Lindsay Lohan is among the youngest 'SNL' hosts ever, having hosted the show at the ripe old age of 17. You know, before all the other crap. The date was May 1, 2004, and Lohan was promoting the movie 'Mean Girls.' Lindsay also participated in several sketches during the show, including the always hilarious "Debbie Downer."
