It looks like 2014 is shaping up to be a [big year](http://www.deadline.com/2014/04/seth-meyers-emmy-awards-2014-host/) for Seth Meyers. The beloved _Saturday Night Live_ star not only left his Weekend Update post to become the host of _Late Night_ and was [named a 2014 TIME 100 honoree](http://time.com/70806/seth-meyers-2014-time-100/), he’s also just been tapped to host this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony.

Deadline reports that the TV Academy’s Board of Governors approved Meyers as a host on Thursday evening, along with Don Mischer as executive producer.

Though hosting a major award show can prove challenging for [even the most skilled entertainers](http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2055924%5F2055923%5F2055932,00.html), _SNL_ alums have had a reputation for nailing it. Jimmy Fallon hosted the Emmys in 2010, which gave the awards ceremony a big boost in viewers. And let’s not forget Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who’ve turned hosting the Golden Globes into an art form. And while this year will mark Meyer’s debut as an Emmy host, he’s not exactly new to the award game: he emceed both the 2010 and 2011 ESPY Awards and the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in 2011.

“Seth’s expertise and ease in front of a live audience during his time at _SNL_, as well as his comedic brilliance both as a writer and in front of the camera on _SNL_ and _Late Nigh_t, makes him the perfect choice to host the Emmys,” NBC’s head of alternative and late-night programming Paul Telegdy told Deadline. “Plus, with Don’s vast experience at putting these type of big productions together, we’ll be in great hands.”
