Chris Rock will host Saturday Night Live on Nov. 1 with musical guest Prince, NBC revealed on Tuesday.

The news follows SNL's previous confirmation that Jim Carrey will host the previous week (Oct. 25) with musical guest Iggy Azalea.

Rock will be the second SNL alum to host what is the sketch comedy series' landmark 40th season. Fellow vet Bill Hader hosted the show last week with musical guest Hozier.

Prince has previously served as musical guest for the show in 1981 and in 2006, while Rock has only hosted once: in 1996.
