When the announcement came out, Chance went to IG and announced that doing double duty on SNL was a "life long goal." (Only 26 people have done it in SNL's history.)

He also went out of his way to shout out MC Hammer, Drake, and Donald Glover — the three rappers who did both jobs on SNL before him.
