Adam Levine will make his Saturday Night Live hosting debut on January 26, when Kendrick Lamar performs for the first time on the sketch show. While The Voice judge will host for the first time ever in the episode, he has previously appeared in a digital short on the comedy sketch show with Andy Samberg and Fred Armisen and has also appeared as the musical guest with his band, Maroon 5.

Adam and Kendrick’s episode will take place once week after Silver Linings Playbook star Jennifer Lawrence makes her SNL debut on January 19th with a performance from The Lumineers.

Adam recently revealed he will miss Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green on The Voice when they take a season off to focus on their respective music careers, but admitted he is excited about their replacements Usher and Shakira. Adam said “Christina and Cee Lo are so close to my heart because we went through the show becoming a success together and Usher and Shakira are coming into it as a big institution. So it’s different but it still feels good because they are legitimate artists. I knew Usher before. We’ve worked in the studio a couple of times together. Shakira is a new friend but I love her dearly already. She’s so sweet and adorable and hilarious.”
