NBC has announced that Donald Trump will host “Saturday Night Live” on Nov. 7.

The businessman and leading Republican presidential candidate last hosted the show in 2004. But he’s long been in a fixture of the show in apt portrayals by “SNL” alum Darrell Hammond and most recently, cast member Taran Killam.

Trump was fodder for the cold open in “SNL’s” recent season premiere. He was also impersonated by Hillary Clinton, who made a cameo on the episode.

Trump isn’t the first presidential candidate to host the NBC show. Steve Forbes was a candidate when he hosted in 1996. Al Sharpton hosted in 2003.
