Nick Jonas assumed the role of host and musical guest for “Saturday Night Live” this week.
The 28-year-old pop star took over his first show as a host, expressing his love for his home state, New Jersey, and joking that he is not leaving the Jonas Brothers during his opening monologue.
“It’s been a year since I last played live, so I thought I’d make it easier by doing the dual role of host and musical guest,” Jonas joked. “I grew up not far from here in New Jersey. Thanks for courting and not cursing. But, I love Jersey. That’s where my brothers and I grew up.”

Jonas noted that his brother and bandmate Kevin, 33, was in the audience to support his debut.
Kevin didn’t miss a comical beat when the camera panned for him.
“Hey, Nick,” Kevin called back from his seat. “Honestly, I’m really excited to be here to support you. Also, I have to ask, are we okay? Because I see that you’re doing a lot of solo stuff. Are we still a band?”
To this, Jonas simply replied, “Sure.”

“I just bought a house,” warned Kevin.
“The band is still together, I promise,” Jonas said reassuringly.
