Despite being on This Morning dealing with viewers' financial woes for two decades, Martin, 51, had never been at the helm of the show.
And now after impressing fans - and it seems TV execs - Martin has landed another gig.
He'll host the BBC's hit satire programme Have I Got News For You this month.
After revealing he's been a fan of the show since a teenager, Martin will be in the hot seat on Friday, April 26th at 9pm on BBC One.

Speaking about the guest role, he said: "I've been a fan of the show since it started, just after I left school, but can't pretend there isn't a tinge of terror mixed in with excitement at the thought of presenting it, especially trying to keep Paul and Ian in line.
"I may have to resort to threatening to destroy their credit scores."
Martin already hosts The Martin Lewis Money Show for ITV alongside Jeanette Kwakye.
He also co-presents Good Morning Britain with Susanna Reid and Kate Garraway on occasions.

Fans of This Morning previously urged bosses at ITV to make Martin a permanent host of the show.
After coming off air, the dad-of-one told his followers: "And I'm done. Now to run home. Thanks to the team and the viewers for indulging my bucket-list wish to present @thismorning. I really enjoyed it.
"The gear changes can be tricky, but the 150mins just flew by. Hope it was a reasonable watch :)."
