Live from New York, it's Donald Trump!

The GOP presidential frontrunner and real estate magnate will host NBC's "Saturday Night Live" on November 7, the show announced Tuesday.

His appearance comes almost exactly a year before Election Day, which will fall on November 8, 2016.

Trump last hosted the NBC comedy show in April 2004.

In his 2004 appearance, Trump boasted about being "a ratings machine" and plugged his then-new show, "The Apprentice."

"After just one season, I am about to become the highest-paid television personality in America," he said in his opening monologue. "And as everyone in this room knows, 'highest-paid' means 'best.'"

SNL star Darrell Hammond joined him onstage as his "replacement" to mimic Trump's famous "you're fired" line.

You can watch Trump's monologue from his April 2004 appearance here.

The episode's musical guest on November 7 will be the artist Sia, who will be making her second appearance on the show.

on his campaign and the phone keeps ringing off the hook to get him on air

It's gonna

be funny watching them rip him apart to his face.

But he knows

that he will be the target, but he'll be a good sport and his favorability number will go up and he will increase his lead in the polls. If any other candidate had as big a lead as he does, say Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio, the "pundits" and "political class" would say the race is over

I can't figure out if this strategy he seems to be taken is

smart or dumb. On the one hand, the more you laugh at yourself, the less others are inclined to. But on the other, his outrageousness is what's kept him relevant. If he makes it interesting to hate on him, I'm not sure if the love from the lowest common denominator will still be there, either.

If he makes it *less interesting to hate on him.

He can't lose doing this

If they give him the Hillary Clinton kid glove treatment he'll use the opportunity to bash his primary opponents. If they go for the jugular it will increase his support from the base.

A natural fit...

since his campaign has always been a joke.

Everyday

Headhunter : 10/13/2015 4:32 pm : link

he takes a more serious approach. He is not flame throwing, because he doesn't have to. He is moderating his tone, while still sticking to his guns. He is playing it smart, and I'm convinced he isn't going to fall off even if the field gets down to three

the grifter knows how to grift

giantfan2000 : 10/13/2015 4:32 pm : link

he is becoming world famous
from his presidential run

since his company is all about the Trump brand (he doesn't build anything just lends his names to buildings0

he will cash in big time when he quits

you mean he wasn't known to the rest of the world before this?

Headhunter : 10/13/2015 4:37 pm : link

what does this do for his brand? From what I read and hear the rest of the world is following him fascination

I predict huge ratings

I can see that he's already wearing his makeup for the show! (Except around his eyes)

This cat...

is playing us all for a bunch of fools and we're falling for it.

Makes the Kanye West 2020 thing seem almost doable.

Yuge crowd expected today in Richmond.

Can't be any worse

than other political candidates who have been on over the years. Probably be more entertaining as most.
