Cumberbatch has already proven game to play Doctor Strange for humor via a sketch on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Despite all this, Cumberbatch has never hosted Saturday Night Live.
TV Line has announced that Benedict Cumberbatch will be hosting SNL on November 5th, the night after Doctor Strange‘s U.S. release date.
