NEW YORK - Tom Brady has had plenty of success on the NFL’s biggest stage. Now the New England Patriots quarterback will try his skill in another arena — as host of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.”

Brady will host the long-running show on April 16, with Grammy-winning musician Beck.

The youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl, Brady has led the Patriots to three Super Bowl victories in four seasons.
