AceShowbiz - Donald Trump is hosting this week's episode of "Saturday Night Live" and he can't help bragging about delivering the best gig ever. "I'm going to do the best job anyone's ever done," he promises, adding, "What can I say, I'm the absolute best. What can I say?"
In another sketch, the real-estate tycoon makes Cecily Strong and Sasheer Zamata swoon. Trump also fools Strong and Jay Pharoah into thinking that they're going to be his running mate. Later, Strong does her best impression of the Republican presidential candidate.
The new episode of "SNL" hosted by Trump will air Saturday, November 7 at 11:30/10:30c on NBC. Sia Furler is booked as the musical guest.
Trump recently revealed that he was actually set to appear in a single sketch of the variety series. "It actually started off as a skit," he said on CNN's "New Day". "And I said, 'All right, I''ll do it.' And they took it up to Lorne Michaels, who's an amazing guy, he's run 'Saturday Night Live' brilliantly for many years, and he's a friend of mine. He said, 'Well, wait a minute: Donald's agreed to do this skit. Would he do the whole thing?' "
The 69-year-old said he agreed to do it because "SNL" is "iconic" and he considered the gig as "an honor."
