Kevin Hart has officially hit the big time.

The stand-up comedian, whose mainstream star has been on the rise recently thanks to a role in the sleeper 2012 comedy "Think Like a Man" and his successful 2011 concert film "Kevin Hart: Laugh at My Pain," has been tapped to host the March 2 episode of the late-night sketch series for the first time, as announced on last night's Christoph Waltz-fronted episode. The episode's musical guests will be hip-hop duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, whose "Thrift Shop" currently sits atop the Billboard Hot 100.

Hart currently stars on the BET parody series "Real Househusbands of Hollywood" alongside Nick Cannon, Robin Thicke, Boris Kodjoe, Duane Martin and J.B. Smoove. Hart created the series, which scored over 4 million viewers in its Season 1 premiere last month.

    SO pumped to see Macklemore on SNL. I live in Seattle and having been listening to his music for years. It is awesome that he is getting this much attention as an independent artist. The only downfall is that he is popular now for songs like Thrift Shop, which isn't even one of his best songs, although the song is awesome. He has some really amazingly deep songs like "otherside" which talks about drug addiction in a realistic way.

    I'd say it's a little overdue. Kevin Hart has been funny for a long time. Looking forward to this.
