Mick Jagger will get funny (or at least try to) later this month as host of the "Saturday Night Live" season finale.

The Rolling Stones frontman has been a musical guest twice before on the long-running NBC show, and the network said Thursday he will perform musically on the May 19 finale. He also appeared once to show off his Keith Richards impersonation, next to Mike Myers impersonating Jagger.

But Jagger has never hosted the show. Until now. Which is a good idea -- now that he's 107, they better get him there while he's still upright.

The Stones mark their 50th anniversary as a band this year, but have yet to announce any activities to commemorate the occasion. Various band members have been quoted saying they'd like to prepare for a tour next year.

Jagger last year put out a disc as part of a group called SuperHeavy, which also included reggae singer Damian Marley and former Eurythmics founder Dave Stewart.
