It's official! Druski is ready for his "Saturday Night Live" close-up.
The 32-year-old comedian and content creator told his 13.6 million Instagram followers on Thursday, Oct. 22, that he will host the late-night sketch comedy show on Nov. 7. The Strokes will be the show's musical guests.
"GET YOUR POPCORN READY," he wrote in the caption.
Druski's announcement comes just over a week after Puck News reported that he was taking the gig.
Fans express excitement for Druski on 'SNL'
Druski gained notoriety on social media in the late 2010s for sketches that mock niche everyday scenarios. Recently, his extreme makeup transformations, from turning into a white man for a NASCAR skit to mocking women in right-leaning spaces,
have captured the attention of millions, including politicians.
He is best known for his ultra-viral audition YouTube show, Coulda Been Records. Earlier this year, he became the youngest person ever to host the BET Awards. One of his popular works, in which he impersonated a megachurch pastor, has turned into an official scripted comedy series called "Collect and Praise," set to debut on Netflix in December.
Fans in his comment section seem excited about his upcoming appearance on "SNL."
"That Druski monologue about to be outlandish," one commenter wrote.
Another added, "THE STROKES AND DRUSKI HOLY W." Someone else chimed in: "Oh we watching as a family!!"
