Jacob Elordi will host “Saturday Night Live” on Jan. 20 with Reneé Rapp as the musical guest. And if that’s not enough to get millions of fans excited, NBC is selling merch inspired by the highly anticipated episode.

The black t-shirt is designed with a classic yellow taxi cab, zooming by in the New York City night as seen in the “Saturday Night Live” intro for the last two decades, with “SNL Season 49” written in red underneath. On the back of the shirt, Elordi and Rapp’s full names are printed in capital letters below the date of their joint episode.

It will be the first time that Elordi will perform on the storied 30 Rock stage, a fitting debut after a blockbuster year with starring roles in Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla” and Emereld Fennell’s “Saltburn.” In a new teaser released last week, he’s seen fearfully walking down the steps that hosts typically enter before their opening monologue. “They all make it look so easy,” he says in the bit.
