After years of making NBC audiences laugh as Jim Halpert on “The Office,” John Krasinski will soon appear on another of the network’s long-running shows.

The Newton native will host “Saturday Night Live” on March 28 — not long after the release of his upcoming film “A Quiet Place Part II” on March 20 — with English pop singer Dua Lipa serving as musical guest.

Krasinski shared the news on Instagram, adding the caption “Life…made.”

Back in 2018, Krasinski missed out on a cameo appearance at Studio 8H when his former co-star Steve Carell hosted. Fellow alums of “The Office” Jenna Fischer, Ed Helms, and Ellie Kemper joined Carell for the opening monologue, begging the Acton native to join them for a reunion of the sitcom.
