RuPaul is set to sashay onto the set of Saturday Night Live and host the show for the first time.

NBC announced Tuesday (January 21, 2020) that the Emmy-winning RuPaul’s Drag Race icon, recording artist, actor, and drag superstar will front the episode, with Justin Bieber as musical guest.

Bieber first appeared as Tina Fey’s musical guest in April 2010, then returned to pull double duty in Feb. 2013.

Texans defensive lineman J.J. Watt will host Saturday Night Live on February 1, along with musical guest Luke Combs.
