John Mulaney is making a mark in his stand-up comedy career by joining the five-timers club of “Saturday Night Live.”

The 36-year-old comedian will host the live comedy show for the fifth time next month, after welcoming his child with girlfriend Olivia Munn.

The show officially announced Saturday that Mulaney is heading back to Studio 8H to host the episode airing on Feb. 26, People reported.

The “New In Town” star reiterated the announcement the following day on Twitter. He posted a snap of corkboard sticky notes that read “Feb. 26, John Mulaney, LCD System.”

LCD Soundsystem is the rock band that will serve as the evening’s musical guest during Mulaney’s episode.

Mulaney’s return will make him one of the prestigious stars to host the show five times in their careers. The latest actor to join the club was Paul Rudd.

Other members of the five-timers club include Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Steve Martin, Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin.

The gig would also signal Mulaney’s return to his former workplace. The “Kid Gorgeous” comedian previously worked on “SNL” as one of its writers for four years. He even appeared on Weekend Update and was credited for being one of the minds behind Bill Hader’s Stefon character, as per Deadline.

Mulaney’s first hosting gig took place in April 2018. He came back almost a year later for his second hosting gig in March 2019. Before the pandemic, he scored his third hosting gig in February 2020. He returned for his fourth in October that year.

Meanwhile, the comedian has been through a lot in the past two years in his personal life. He had a drug relapse, went to rehab, divorced his ex-wife Anna Marie Tendler, met his new girlfriend, Munn, and welcomed a child with her in November.

Mulaney announced the birth of his first child with the 41-year-old “X-Men: Apocalypse” star about a month after he shared the news of their pregnancy on “Late Night with Seth Meyers.”

Earlier this week, Munn shared their first family photo on Instagram. She and Mulaney also posed for some snaps with their pal, Henry Golding, and wife, Liv Lo.

The proud parents were happy to introduce their kids to each other. Munn wrote in the caption that his son, Malcolm, has officially met Golding and Lo’s 10-month-old daughter Lyla.
