Despite all of the protests, online petitions, and celebrity condemnations, it appears Donald Trump is indeed still hosting Saturday Night Live with Sia as his musical guest. Of course, this isn’t the first time Trump has hosted the show — he did so back in 2004, when Darrell Hammond’s Trump was a staple of the series — but back then he wasn’t a frontrunning presidential candidate.
And so it’s difficult to know what to expect out of the episode. There are some obvious assumptions — a Celebrity Apprentice sketch (perhaps a fake episode in which Trump leaves the show since, in real life, he is no longer hosting), at least one or two political sketches (the debate format never fails), and a sketch where Taran Killam will appear as Trump alongside the real Trump (with maybe even a Hammond cameo).
But will it be funny? Will the controversy surrounding the episode be addressed? And will the jokes be able to cross a line and actually poke biting satirical fun at Trump .ew
