Sorry to disappoint everyone who was hoping otherwise, but Lorne Michaels made the regrettable choice to not let Louis C.K. to sing the Louie theme song during the musical guest portion of tonight’s SNL. Instead, that role will be filled by Sam Smith, which, who? Here’s everything you need to know about Smith so you don’t have to be THAT GUY who tweets, “Wait, I thought we were promised Steve Smith?” If only.

Hails from: England
Sounds like: soulful pop with dance beats
Word most often associated with him: crooner

Also, he’s cousins with Theon Greyjoy, so make of that what you will.
