Mulaney previously served as a writer on SNL for four years from 2008-12. During that time, he would occasionally appear on the show's Weekend Update segment, and he also helped co-create Bill Hader's beloved Stefon character.

The comedian is also the fourth SNL writer to host the show, despite never appearing as an official cast member. Others who have that distinction include Conan O'Brien, Louis C.K., and Larry David.

Mulaney's hosting gig will mark his first since he became a father back in November. A source told PEOPLE that Mulaney and Olivia Munn welcomed their first child together a month after Mulaney shared the news of their pregnancy on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

"My Golden Ox baby. Malcolm Hiệp Mulaney. Happy Holidays," Munn, 41, later wrote, sharing the baby boy's first photo. Mulaney captioned his own post: "Meet Malcolm Hiệp Mulaney. He has his whole life ahead of him. He hasn't even tried seltzer yet. I'm very in love with him and his whole deal. Happy Holidays."

Recently, SNL's Pete Davidson got to meet the pair's newborn son, which Mulaney documented on his Instagram Story. "Uncle Pete!" he wrote for the post set to the "F.U.N. Song" from SpongeBob SquarePants.

In the sweet clip, Davidson, 28, sits on a couch with the 2-month-old in his lap as Malcolm looks up at him. "Yeah, babies are all head," he jokingly observes to the new parents, who can be heard laughing in the background.
