Kanye West Is Playing ‘SNL’ Next Month, Melissa McCarthy Hosts

That’s because in what could be the most AH-Mazing casting news ever, NBC announced on Friday that the rapper and comedienne will be taking over Saturday Night Livein two weeks!

Critically acclaimed group The 1975 will make their “SNL” musical debut on the February 6 show.

McCarthy, star of the upcoming Ghostbuster, meanwhile, will be making her fourth appearance as host.

After trying their hand with some first-time hosts in January including Adam Driver and Ronda Rousey, “Saturday Night Live” is now getting back in the business of bringing back some fan favorites into the mix. It will be West’s seventh appearance on “SNL”.

The co-creator of Seinfeld and creator/star of Curb Your Enthusiasm was an SNL writer during the show’s 10th season.

West’s new album, recently renamed “Waves”, is scheduled to drop February 11. The last time she hosted was in February 2014 with musical guests Imagine Dragons and Kendrick Lamar.

“Saturday Night Live” airs Saturdays at 11:35 p.m. on NBC.
