Sexpot Megan Fox will show her funny bone as the host of Saturday Night Live's premiere next month, Life & Style has learned from an insider close to the star.

SNL's 35th season will get off to a splashy start on Sept. 26, with the actress live in the NYC studio.

"Megan is psyched to have gotten this opportunity," the insider tells Life & Style. "She has a lot of surprises in store for the audience. This is the perfect opportunity for her to show off her comedic skills, as she's launching her new movie Jennifer's Body [on Sept. 18]."

Megan has been brushing up on her comedy by doing a digital short with funnyman Andy Samberg, the insider adds.
