Wiig joined "SNL" in 2005 and left in 2012 after serving as a regular crew member for many years. She made her first hosting gig on the show in 2013. The episode also marked her first return to the show since her departure.

Before welcoming Kristen Wiig back, "SNL" will have Dave Chappelle as a first-time host this coming Saturday on November 12. He will be joined by musical guest A Tribe Called Quest during the first post-election episode. It's unclear if Alec Baldwin will continue his portrayal as Donald Trump after the Republican candidate won the election.
