Thursday night on the final Weekend Update, summer edition, Michael Che and Colin Jost announced that Saturday Night Live‘s forty third season will open with Ryan Gosling hosting. Season 43 will return on Saturday, September 30th. Jay Z will be the musical guest.

This is Gosling’s second time hosting SNL. His last time hosting the show was in December 2015, when he was part of the birth of an instant classic- a sketch about three Americans who had experiences with alien visitors with Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong. He’s out promoting the movie Blade Runner 2049 which comes out a week later- October 7.
