“SNL U.K.” has brought out a big gun to launch its second season, with “Jurassic Park” icon Jeff Goldblum set as host for the opening episode.

Goldblum — a regular to the U.K., where he shot both “Wicked” films and toured earlier this year with his band — will take to the stage on Sep 12, marking his third “SNL” appearance, having hosted the U.S. version in 1993 and 1998. The Oscar nominee follows in the footsteps of Tina Fey, who hosted the very first “SNL U.K.” episode in March, with the likes of Nicola Coughlan, Jack Whitehall, Jamie Dornan, Hannah Waddingham and Ncuti Gatwa later hosting in the first season.
