Trump to host SNL next month

The Republican presidential candidate will host the Nov. 7 show that will feature musical artist Sia, according to the network. He last hosted the show in April 2004.

“SNL” announced last month that it had selected Taran Killam to portray the celebrity real estate tycoon on the program.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton appeared on the show recently opposite “SNL” star Kate McKinnon, who played the former secretary of State.
Clinton dinged Trump during her appearance on the program.
Trump’s invitation to host the show comes months after the network cut ties with the businessman in July over his controversial remarks on immigrants from Mexico.
NBC said it would no longer air the “Miss USA” and “Miss Universe” pageants on the network, which were at the time co-produced with Trump. He later took full ownership, before selling the entire organization to WME/IMG.
