Saturday Night Live is returning for season 47 with a slew of first-time hosts to kick off the month of October. For one, Kim Kardashian is set to serve as a host on Oct. 9th with musical guest Halsey. “OMFG no turning back now!” Kim tweeted. “LOL I’m hosting SNL!!!!!!” It’ll be interesting to see how Kim Kardashian’s personality as a reality star translates to sketch comedy.
Just two weeks later, Young Thug will be joining the line-up as the musical guest with host Rami Malek on October 16th. It’s perfectly timed as Thug is preparing to release his forthcoming album Punk on Oct. 15th. It looks like Thug’s project will be arriving just on time.
