Blake Shelton's Hawk fan base in the Binghamton area is counting down the days until he yells "Live from New York, It's Saturday Night Live."  Blake will make his SNL debut January 24th on the iconic NBC variety show.

Blake actually is part of a exclusive club of performers who will host and perform.  Only 40 stars have attempted this in the show's 40 year history, including Tim McGraw, Johnny Cash, Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson and Taylor Swift. I know he can do it and do it well.

No word yet on what Blake has planned for the show but if his tweet from Carson Daly is any indication, it may involve some booze.  This should be one of those SNL shows you don't want to miss.  I'm setting my recorder now.

@CarsonDaly: Congrats blakeshelton on hosting gig Jan 26th. Just goes to prove kids..you can literally drink your way to the top.” Ha!
