NBC has announced that former Saturday Night Live cast member Tracy Morgan will return to host the show on October 17th. It will be the actor’s first on-screen comedy appearance since surviving a near-fatal car crash last year that took the life of his friend James McNair.
The network has also shared that Miley Cyrus will kick off the show’s 41st season by hosting the premiere episode on October 3rd. Comedian and actress Amy Schumer is set to follow Cyrus as host on October 10th, one week before the release of her HBO standup special Amy Schumer: Live from the Apollo.
The October 17 episode will be Morgan’s second time hosting SNL. Watch a sketch from his first time hosting below:
