FIRTH TO HOST NBC'S 'SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE' WITH MUSICAL GUEST NORAH JONES
ON MARCH 6
Published: February 26, 2004
NEW YORK -- February 26, 2004 -- Acclaimed
English actor Colin Firth takes the reins of the March 6 edition of "Saturday
Night Live" with multiple Grammy winner Norah Jones as musical guest.
A classically trained British theater actor
and veteran of numerous memorable television and film roles, Colin Firth
makes his first appearance on "SNL." Firth charmed audiences in the hit
romantic comedies "Love Actually" and "Bridget Jones Diary" and will soon
be seen in the much-anticipated sequel "The Edge of Reason" with Renee
Zellweger. Firth also is currently starring opposite Scarlett Johansson
in the critically praised "Girl With A Pearl Earring." He'll next be seen
in the psychological thriller "Trauma" which debuted at this year's Sundance
Film Festival.
Firth first broke out with his role as Mr.
Darcy in the BBC television adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice." Firth's
other film credits include: "What A Girl Wants" with Amanda Bynes, "The
Importance of Being Earnest," "Shakespeare in Love" and "The English Patient."
He was nominated for an Emmy for his work in the HBO film "Conspiracy."
Hailed by Time as "the most natural singer
of her generation," Norah Jones makes her second SNL appearance, performing
from her runaway hit sophomore release "Feels Like Home." Since her first
appearance on SNL, the jazz-influenced pianist and vocalist has won a whopping
eight Grammy Awards for her acclaimed debut "Come Away With Me" as well
as the record going eight-times-platinum. While "Feels Like Home" which
Rolling Stone called in a four-star review "easygoing and
poignant" recently debuted at Number One
on the Billboard chart, selling a million records in its first week (the
biggest debut since N*Sync's 2001 "Celebrity"), her equally acclaimed debut
remains in the Top 20.

| The promo spot ran right after Friends,
and he looks great! He's standing between Rachel Dratch and Norah Jones.
"Hi, I'm Colin Firth and I'm hosting SNL this week with musical guest Norah
Jones." Then Rachel blurts, "God, you're so cute!" Then she looks embarrassed
at having said aloud what she was thinking and says, "Who said that? Norah,
I'm so embarrassed for you." Then she puts her arms around him. Cute.'
