It's happening: Donald Trump is hosting Saturday Night Live.

Although Trump has had a turbulent relationship with NBC this year (they terminated their relationship with him following his derogatory statements about immigrants last June), Trump is something of a fixture on SNL — at least as a punch line. Most recently, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took a jab at him during a brief appearance on the show earlier this month, and cast member Taran Killam has been donning an orange wig to play The Donald this election season.

But hosting The Apprentice and appearing on nearly every news channel aren't Trump's only qualifications for the gig — he actually hosted the show once before, back in 2004.
