He made you cry, America, and now he'll make you laugh. Sterling K. Brown will host Saturday Night Live on March 10, presumably in honor of Black Panther's monumental success and America's ongoing obsession with This Is Us.

Brown will be joined by musical guest James Bay. He's one of three upcoming hosts SNL announced on Tuesday, the others being NBA alum Charles Barkley and former SNL cast member Bill Hader joined respectively by Migos and Arcade Fire.

The hosting gig is a first for Brown; he's in the middle of another perfect career storm with Black Panther and This Is Us, similar to his 2016 when he was on the NBC drama as well as American Crime Story.

SNL (and all NBC programming) is currently on hiatus for the Winter Olympics and will return March 3.
