Comedian and internet personality Druski will host the Nov. 7 episode of “Saturday Night Live.” Druski, aka Drew Desbordes, will be the first online creator to host the sketch show.

Variety confirmed the news with multiple sources, though reps for “SNL” did not immediately respond to a request for comment and a rep for Druski declined to comment.

Druski joins a lineup of Season 52 hosts that has so far included Jalen Brunson, Dakota Johnson and Shane Gillis. “Obsession” breakout Indie Navarette is set to host the show’s Halloween episode with musical guest Gracie Abrams. Musical guests so far have have included Katseye, Turnstile and Rosaliá.

So far, there have already been a number of viral moments to come out of “SNL” Season 52; Gillis not only dropped an accidental f-bomb during a Dr. Seuss sketch, but also sparked outrage over his misogynistic opening monologue. “I haven’t been to the gym in so long, I didn’t know women just dress like whores now?” he said. “Look, I’m sorry, there’s no other way to describe [it]. Have you seen it? I’ve seen it.” Dan Levy shared a video to Instagram following the episode, saying that he was “speechless that something like that can exist on live national television.”

Excluding Chloe Fineman, Bowen Yang and Martin Herlihy, all members of the Season 51 cast returned for Season 52, the premiere episode of which aired on Sept. 26.
