— Saturday Night Live (@nbcsnl) August 17, 2015Morgan was a cast member on the late-night show from 1996 to 2003. He returned as a host in 2009. The upcoming gig will mark his official return to comedy since he was involved in a horrific car accident that killed his friend James "Jimmy Mack" McNair, although he has appeared on television several times since his recovery.
Meanwhile, it will be Miley's third time as an "SNL" host. The former Disney star who is hosting this year's MTV Video Music Awards first hosted the show in 2011 and then returned in 2013. For Comedy Central comedienne Schumer, it will become her SNL hosting debut.
