All-star Cleveland Cavaliers superstar Lebron James has been tapped to host an episode of NBC’s Saturday Night Live.

Variety is reporting that James will be hosting the season premiere of Saturday Night Live, following in the footsteps of another sports all-star Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning who hosted last season.

‘SNL’ producer Steve Higgins told Daily Variety that “It’s nice to get people who aren’t in show business to host,” because “sports stars tend to be less frightened because they are used to performing in a live setting.”
