The significance, of course, is that this will be the first episode of Saturday Night Live to air after the presidential election, in a year when the election has given SNL a big boost.
Dave Chappelle will be taking on guest hosting duties for Saturday Night Live for the first time in his 43 years, and the show’s 41 seasons.
The date of the comedian’s appearance is almost as important as the appearance himself, as he’ll be hosting on November 12, just one week from now.
(It would have admittedly been hard for him to host when he was an infant.)
