The last time we remember seeing Lindsay Lohan and Jimmy Fallon on TV together was when they were both cracking up in the Debbie Downer sketch. On Thursday night, Lilo and Jimmy were together again on Late Night, and the actress revealed how she landed yet another hosting gig on Saturday Night Live. She explained that it basically took begging Lorne Michaels. 

“I kept asking him,” she admitted. “I wasn’t giving up.” Finally, he gave in. “You know Lorne, he’s very straight to the point. He was like, ‘What about March 3?’ I’m like, ‘I’m free!’"

When asked about the rumors that she'll be starring in a Lifetime movie where she'll play the late Elizabeth Taylor, the 25-year-old actress revealed the name of the movie, saying: 

"Liz and Dick." This caused an uproar of laughter among the audience though Lilo didn't seem to know why. 

Following Jimmy airing their Debbie Downer sketch, Lindsay invited him to come back on SNL on Saturday. Can we expect a Jimmy cameo? Guess we'll have to wait until March 3!

What do you think? Is this the beginning of Lilo's comeback? Sound off in the comments.
