A Houston Texans player will be on broadcast TV in February after all, even though the team was bounced out of the playoffs.
According to a tweet from the official Saturday Night Live account, Texans defensive end J.J. Watt will be the host of the Feb. 1 edition of the show on NBC. The musical guest that evening will be Luke Combs.
Watt is no stranger to the spotlight. In 2014, he appeared in “The League,” an FX show about fantasy football. In 2015, he also appeared in an episode of the FOX show “New Girl.”
The three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year also played the part of a youth sports coach in the 2016 feature film “Bad Moms.” Watt is also good friends with former California governor and action star Arnold Schwartzenegger.
