The 2019 Golden Globes are set to air on NBC on Sunday. For the first time ever, actors Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh will host the 76th annual awards show together.

While the lavish event will mark Oh's first time hosting an awards show, the Globes will be the fourth hosting gig for Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Samberg, who has previously hosted the Emmys, the Spirit Awards and the MTV Movie Awards. George Cheeks and Paul Telegy, NBC Entertainment co-chairmen, told The Hollywood Reporter the pairing was the networks efforts to bring the Tina Fey and Amy Poehler-esque pizazz back to the Globes. Fey and Poehler hosted the show in 2013, 2014 and 2015.

"We thought, 'What a coup it'd be to get them,'" Cheeks said in The Hollywood Reporter's cover story on Samberg and Oh, released online on Wednesday. "And then the stars aligned, and we feel like we've won the lottery."

Samberg and Oh will likely make for one entertaining duo as they announce presenters and performers in addition to handing out awards to the night's nominees—one of which could very well be Oh, who is nominated for her performance in the BBC hit series, Killing Eve.
