Chance has previously stolen the show during appearances on Saturday Night Live and we’ll have to see just how many sketches he will be a part of when he’s pulling double duty on October 26. He has recently been working on some stand-up in his free time so we will be excited to see what he’s able to pull off when he takes the stage.
We will definitely have our popcorn ready.
