Live from New York, it's Canucks that have played Saturday Night Live

Drake returns to the Saturday Night Live stage tonight, pulling double duty as the show's host and musical guest. It's his third stint on the program he first appeared as musical guest back in 2011 and was the host/musical guest in 2014.

The rapper is sure to show some love for the 6ix,but he's far from the first Canuck musician to bring nationalpride to 30 Rock. From Anne Murray to Neil Young, Canadian artists have been gracing the SNL stage since the comedy show began back in 1975.

Here is a look at some memorable Canadian musical moments from the last two decades.

Arcade Fire

The Grammy-winning Montreal band have a long history with the show performingon four separate occasions andtaking part in sketches and digital shorts. They even hosted their own half-hour concert special, following their 2013 musical appearance, to promote their album Reflektor.

When one of frontman Win Butler's guitar strings broke during their 2007 performance of their songIntervention, he decided to finish the song byrippingthe strings from his guitar and smashing it on stage.

NBC's Saturday Night Live takes aim at Justin Bieber in this parody video starring Kate McKinnon as Canada's bad boy popstar.

Thelist would be amiss if Bieber didn't get a mention. Bieber'snot onlybeen on the show thrice including a stint as ahost/musical guest but has been repeatedly mimicked on the show.SNL star Kate McKinnonhas crafted an eerilyaccurate impression of Bieber, aping his movements and hisbad boy image.

Bieber's been a good sport about it though, appearing in sketches and guest starring in the 100thdigital short.
