It’s Big Boy Week on Saturday Night Live. Houston Texans All-Pro defensive end J.J. Watt is set to host the show this Saturday.
Watt’s appearance marks the three-time defensive player of the year’s first time on the sketch comedy series, and from the looks of the latest promo video, he’s up for the challenge.
In the clip, Bryant announces that it’s officially Big Boy Week at Rockefeller Center’s Studio 8H, where SNL is broadcast. Watt responds by asking Bryant if she was scared, to which she nervously replies, “No, no! I can hang. Trucks, beer, country music. Hoorah!”
“That’s not what it’s about,” Watt informed her.

Watt follows a long list of athletes who have hosted SNL over the years including fellow football players Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Deion Sanders, O.J. Simpson, Joe Montana and Walter Payton. Even John Madden, the beloved former NFL coach and sportscaster hosted SNL in 1982.
Before he goes on live tonight, he made sure to send his fiance a nice birthday shoutout.
