Benedict Cumberbatch is heading back to Saturday Night Live! The actor will host the May 7 show with Arcade Fire as a musical guest.

The gig will no doubt be to promote his next film, a smaller project called Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which premieres the Friday before on May 6. This will be the star’s second hosting appearance on the late-night show, the first coming in 2016 to promote the first Doctor Strange film.

While we impatiently wait for Cumberbatch’s night next month, let’s take a gander through some of our favorite sketches from his first appearance.

The age-old question of why Benedict Cumberbatch is hot is answered in this sketch. So, if you’re someone who gets asked about this, just forward them this video.

Too cool for school, too cool for a boring toilet. Cumberbatch debuts a brand new sleek design to prove you can look cool going number two.

This sketch never got the love it deserved. Benedict Cumberbatch acting alongside a brass Eagle and still making it look effortless? Sign us up.

And of course, his monologue, where he breaks into song to introduce himself.

Saturday Night Live airs on NBC Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. ET.
