Trump, the front-runner for the Republican nomination, will
host the show with musical guest Sia on Nov. 7. It will be the
billionaire businessman's second time hosting, following a stint
in April 2004.
Actor Taran Killam currently plays Trump in "Saturday Night
Live" sketches, and in the vein of the show, is quite likely to
face the real Trump in a skit.
Brash, confident and controversial, Trump, the former host of
NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice," has already become a hot target
for comedians, with Jimmy Fallon parodying him last month with
Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton on NBC's
"The Tonight Show."
Clinton appeared in a cameo role on "Saturday Night Live"
earlier this month, playing a bartender named Val who pokes fun
at Trump while chatting to Hillary Clinton, played by cast
member Kate McKinnon, about the November 2016 presidential
election.
