The Internet’s favorite new person — and the pride of Ireland — Ayo Edebri has been tapped to host Saturday Night Live on February 3rd. The Emmy-winning star of The Bear, who has had a huge break out this awards season, will be joined by musical guest Jennifer Lopez.

Everyone is going to watch this episode. The youths will come out for Ayo Edibri — who was also in last year’s funniest movie, Bottoms — while the olds will tune in to see the ageless Jennifer Lopez do wonders on stage. Everyone else will tune in for what will surely be the inevitable Ben Affleck cameo in a Dunkin parody ad. Now that I’ve conjured the idea, there will be a lot of disappointed people if it doesn’t happen. Don’t let Casey be the Affleck brother with the best Dunkin sketch on SNL, Ben!

This Saturday’s episode will be hosted by Dakota Johnson, who has refused to say whether her Madame Web will be any good (spoiler: It will not be), along with musical guest Justin Timberlake, who was once an SNL favorite. “Bring it on down to Omeletteville!”
