One Direction land slot on Saturday Night Live

One Direction have landed one of their biggest TV spots to date with the announcement they will appear on iconic US comedy series 'Saturday Night Live.'

The 2010 X-Factor finalists, who are also set to perform on The Today Show tomorrow, were announced as the musical guests during a commercial break on last night’s Jonah Hill-hosted episode.

Liam, Zayn, Niall, Louis and Harry will appear on the April 7 show, which is to be hosted by 39-year-old Colombian actress Sofia Vergara, best-known for her role as Gloria Delgado-Pritchett in the hit sitcom, 'Modern Family.'

It’s the latest Stateside boost for the boyband, who are already in the Billboard Hot 100 with their debut single, ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ and have just finished touring with Nickelodeon favourites, Big Time Rush.
