Neil Patrick Harris fans—rejoice! Our favorite doctor-turned-womanizer will be the next host of Saturday Night Live when the show returns on January 10. Country singer Taylor Swift will be the musical guest.

Does this mean we’ll get to see a How I Met Your Mother spoof?

If so, Neil would play Barney, naturally. Ted should be played by Will Forte, Marshall by Andy Samberg, and newbies Abby Elliot and Michaela Watkins would be perfect as Lily and Robin! It’s going to be legen—wait for it—dary.

Harris hosts the show the day before the Golden Globes; he’s nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role on HIMYM. This weekend is going to be filled with awesome.
