"SNIP.....

Sterling K. Brown knows how to bring Americans to tears—he's done it week-after-week as Randall Pearson during the first two seasons of NBC’s award-winning series This Is Us. And then there was his performance as on Lifetime’s Army Wives. But the real question is: Can he make us laugh?

On Saturday, the 41-year-old actor will flex his comedic muscles when he makes his grand debut on Saturday Night Live. And he's pretty excited about the gig. While chatting with Us Weekly recently, Brown revealed he’s been a fan of SNL since he was "a baby" and that he has been preparing for the role ever since. He even went back to “re-watch a lot of documentaries on how the process goes” when he found out he’d be hosting the show.

With all that practice, it’s highly unlikely he’ll bomb. Here's what you need to know about the show before it airs live Saturday night.

Who’s performing: Following the release of his first single in four years, “Wild Love,” English singer and songwriter James Bay will take to SNL’s stage for the first time on Saturday. He’s likely to perform his second single, “Pink Lemonade,” off his forthcoming album Electric Light.
