It looks as though Chris Pratt's Hollywood career is still on fire thanks to the success of his first major big screen role in Guardians of the Galaxy this summer. It's been reported that the actor will be hosting the September 27 premiere of Saturday Night Live's 40th season later this month.

According to Time.com on Wednesday, Pratt will be joined by current chart topper Ariana Grande, who will be the musical guest for the show. This will also be Pratt's first time hosting the show.

Meanwhile, it also looks as though Pratt is slowly becoming the Tom Hanks of his generation. The Parks and Recreation star recently lived up to his promises when he visited the Los Angeles Children's Hospital in his Guardians of the Galaxy costume for a very special visit with his youngest fans.

The actor, who was dressed in character as Peter Quill, apparently let kids at the hospital try on his signature red leather jacket and even visited a young fan of The Lego Movie.

Just last month, Pratt said that he purposely stole the jacket so he could use it as a good dead for children in need. He said, "I stole the jacket and some of the wardrobe so that, if this movie comes out and does what everyone hopes it can, I can follow the example of someone - say, like, a Russell Wilson [QB for the Seattle Seahawks] - and go visit kids. If it was a big enough movie to where it would mean something to a kid who's sick in the hospital for Peter Quill or Star-Lord to come visit them, I'll do that."
