What's better than having Chris Hemsworth host Saturday Night Live?

Having two more hot Hemsworths appear with him!

The 31-year-old Australian star of the Thor and The Avengers movies brought along his younger brother, The Hunger Games' and Independence Day 2's Liam Hemsworth, 25, as well as their lesser-known but equally as hot older brother Luke Hemsworth, who is 33 and also an actor.

Chris later turned on the hotness up to 11 (and actually quoted that This Is Spinal Tap line later in the show) by appearing shirtless in a skit. He also took part in two epic parodies—a long-awaited spoof of the FOX series Empire and a mock news report involving, yes, The Avengers.

Saturday's show marked Chris' SNL debut and comes less than two months before the May 1 release of The Avengers: Age of Ultron, in which he reprises his role as Thor.
