Saturday Night Live's absurdly star-studded 40th anniversary special has locked down another big-name guest: Sarah Palin. A source close to Palin has confirmed that the onetime vice presidential candidate will return to the show for the first time since 2008.

The episode's other guests will include Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray, Amy Poehler, Alec Baldwin, and Justin Timberlake — and, of course, Tina Fey, who may end up standing next to her political doppelganger one last time.
