It's been announced that the former Saturday Night Live funnyman is co-hosting a brand new holiday culinary competition series titled Baking It, which looks like it will be America's take on The Great British Bake Off.

The show, which was first announced back in May, comes from the creators of the NBC crafting competition Making It and will be executive-produced by actress and comedian Amy Poehler.
