Over the last 40+ years, Saturday Night Live has had some amazing talent to grace it’s stage and some very well loved co-host too, and actress Margot Robbie is no exception.

On Friday (September 23), SNL has announced that Robbie will host their 42nd season premiere set to debut live on October 1st. Robbie, who has had an amazing year after starring in two major films ‘Suicide Squad’ and ‘Tarzan’, is most well known as the the actress who played Leonardo DiCaprio‘s wife in the major motion film, ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’. Robbie who’s also played in the movie ‘The Big Short’, is no stranger to the big screen – but what about Prime time television? Robbie’s roles on the big screen roles have all been very dramatic, to say the least, so it’ll be very nice to see her let her hair down on the comedy circuit.

According to the NY Daily News, the 26-year-old Australian actress was one of the most frequently requested hosts when ‘SNL’ openly questioned the public for suggestions. After tallying results, SNL took to Twitter to announce that they have given fans their long time wish.

SNL, who recently lost cast members Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah, are coming into the new premiere season with a big bang! This season, the show has announced the addition of three new players joining the cast Alex Moffat, Melissa Villasenor and Mikey Day; in addition to two new head writers.  With the show making major changes  and with Robbie as the opener and musical guest The Weeknd, who just dropped his first single ‘Starboy’ on Tuesday as the musical guest; these strategic moves are proving that SNL is definitely headed for a really good season. Hopefully, SNL will have continued success for many more years to come.

You can catch Robbie and The Weeknd on SNL October 1st on NBC.

Jay Pharoah and Taran Killam, two long-time cast members of NBC’s long-running sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live will not be returning for its 42nd season this fall.

Pharoah and Killam, both six-year veterans, originally began their SNL roots as featured players in 2010, and then gained the honor as main cast members in 2012. The reason they’ve decided to part ways is due to a non-renewal of their contracts.

Uproxx was briefed by Taran Killam about his departure with Killam claiming, “I was never given a reason why, really. I can assume until the cows come home.”

While on SNL, Killam made some extremely memorable celebrity impersonations such as Michael Cera, Brad Pitt, and Matthew McConaughey while also mocking political figure heads like Senator Ted Cruz or Speaker Paul Ryan. Killam also made a dent on SNL impersonating the current Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. If that wasn’t enough, Killam also made a splash as an early cast member for both MTV’s “Wild’n Out” and FOX’s defunct comedy sketch show “Mad TV.”

Jay Pharoah has also been recognized for impersonating some of the most elite people brought to the public eye. Peep his Kanye West, Jay Z, Eddie Murphy, Kevin Hart, and former Republican presidential nominee, Ben Carson impressions and you’ll understand why Pharoah gained his tenure with SNL. Pharoah’s biggest accomplish to date was speaking on behalf of fellow SNL alum Eddie Murphy winning an award for the Kennedy Center’s Mark Twain Prize for humor.

Best of luck to Pharoah and Killam in their future endeavors!

Kanye gave an interesting speech during his Made in America Festival performance. He told the crowd he is unhappy about the papers and people out there who are distracting the world from his music by making a joke of him and his work. All he wants to do is “create more that can help more people” through his art. “What we do, we put our love, our heart, our pain, our stories, our lives into it,” he explains. West allegedly told the crowd he contacted Pharoah after the VMAs saying that while he “appreciated” the portrayal, he expected from him to explain what he “went through to get to that position.” West linked his VMAs bit to Pharoah’s bit in the infamous “South Park” where he mocks pretty much everything about West.

“It’s fine and funny and everything, but don’t distract from our vision. It’s not a joke what we do up here. This music that we do is not a joke. What we do culturally is not a joke.”
