Trump last hosted the show in 2004, and, barring any yet unannounced performances, Trump will be the second presidential candidate to appear on the show this season, NBC News [reported](http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/donald-trump-host-snl-november-7-n443726?cid=sm%5Ftw&hootPostID=7d6fcea6c0b39fab44de4bfce805162b). Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton appeared as a bartender on the show’s season premiere last month. Trump’s outsized persona has been fodder for many late night entertainers. In a recent episode of _SNL_, Trump was portrayed by Taran Killam. > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/650522759764779012) Donald Trump SNL: Presidential Candidate to Host Show ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4071784/donald-trump-host-snl/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4071784/donald-trump-host-snl/"},"headline":"Donald Trump to Host SNL in November","datePublished":"2015-10-13T17:19:54.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T11:45:23.270Z","description":"He last hosted in 2004","url":"https://time.com/4071784/donald-trump-host-snl/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election topic","Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte13d8013d33ddeda/69886813cd1bba94206fd9d5/trump1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Justin Worland","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/justin-worland/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte13d8013d33ddeda/69886813cd1bba94206fd9d5/trump1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Presidential Candidates Address No Labels \"Problem Solver\" Convention In NH","caption":"Presidential Candidates Address No Labels \"Problem Solver\" Convention In NH","creditText":"Darren McCollester—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4071784/donald-trump-host-snl/","name":"Donald Trump to Host SNL in November"}}]}] ```
