James Franco will take to the stage on “Saturday Night Live” for a third time on December 6th, when we’ve all had a few days to recover from all that turkey. Nicki Minaj will serve as musical guest (and hopefully jump in on a sketch or two). December 13th’s show will see an SNL debut from both Martin Freeman and Charli XCX . And Amy Adams will return for a second round of funnies the following week with hopefully a problem-free Zayn Malik and his buddies from One Direction.
