Comedian Dave Chappelle will host “Saturday Night Live” on the Nov. 12 episode, NBC announced on Friday. This will be the first time that Chappelle has ever hosted the show.

A Tribe Called Quest will be the evening’s musical guest to promote their first album in 18 years, “We Got It From Here … Thank You 4 Your Service.”

A comedian, writer and actor, Chappelle is best known as a standup, and for his sketch comedy show “Chappelle’s Show” which ran on Comedy Central between 2003 and 2006. His film credits include “Robin Hood: Men in Tights” and “The Nutty Professor.” He also stars in the 1998 film “Half Baked” which he wrote with Neal Brennan. Recently, Chappelle appeared in Spike Lee’s 2015 film “Chi-Raq.”

Before Chappelle takes the “SNL” stage, Benedict Cumberbatch will host the next episode on Nov. 5. Solange will accompany the “Doctor Strange” star, following the release of her third studio album “A Seat at the Table.”

The 42nd season of “Saturday Night Live” premiered to the show’s largest ratings in eight years. The episode was hosted by Margo Robbie and featured Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump. “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, Tom Hanks and Emily Blunt have also hosted episodes this season.

Chappelle notably has the honor of hosting the first “SNL” episode following election Tuesday on Nov. 8.

New Orleans superstar J Lyric (a/k/a @JASONLYRIC on social media) just released his new single entitled “Facetime“. The song features internet sensation and fellow rapper Tokyo Vanity (@TokyoXVanity). As you can see, the visuals are on point and showcase the beauty of New Orleans’ world famous Lakefront. Yuset Pozo and Rafael Medina directed the video which includes drone shots far above Lake Ponchartrain and the drop top Bentley occupied by Tokyo during filming. Comedians Mario P (@_MarioDaComic_) and Rob Kazi (@tob_kazi) also have cameos and can be seen macking on Tokyo and her friends in classic New Orleans style!

In the first few days after Spinrilla leaked the single, it garnered over 20,000 downloads. “Facetime” is available for purchase on all major digital retail outlets, including iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, and more and is, of course, available for streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, and all other major streaming platforms.

Be on the lookout for new music from J Lyric, including a project entitled “Loyalty Over Love“, where he will drop nothing but hits. This is an artist to watch. He’s put in work for a minute and it’s about to pay off in huge dividends.
