The actor will host the NBC hit for the third time on November 17. It's been over ten years since The Office alum hosted, so it's bound to be a momentous occasion. 

While Carell has spent a lot of time away from SNL, he was recently added to the cast of Apple's untitled morning show drama. 

He will star on the new series opposite Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. 

Over on CBS All Access, Michael Sheen has landed the series regular role of Roland Blum on The Good Fight Season 3, according to TV Line.

Sheen is an in-demand actor who is also attached to the cast of Amazon Prime's Good Omens which is slated to debut later this year. 

Finally, Freeform has unveiled the first trailer for Life Size 2 which will bring back Tyra Banks. 

"Grace Manning (Francia Raisa) is the 20-something CEO of Marathon Toys, a huge toy company started by her mother that is most famous for manufacturing the iconic Eve doll," reads the official logline for the movie which debuts December 2. 

"Grace is also in the middle of her quarter-life crisis, realizing she is in over her head as CEO. To make matters worse, her wild-child ways are causing the company’s stock to plummet."

"With the help of her young next-door neighbor, Grace’s old Eve doll (Tyra Banks) magically awakens to help get Grace back on track and give her the confidence to be the woman and leader Eve knows Grace can be."

Have a look at the full trailer below.
