NEW YORK (AP) — Amid high anticipation and sharp criticism, Donald Trump is set to step onstage in Studio 8H tonight to host "Saturday Night Live."
Despite a 40-year history of lampooning politicians while inviting some to mock themselves as on-air guests, booking a presidential candidate to host the NBC sketch-comedy show is almost unprecedented.
Previously, only eight politicians served as guest hosts. Only one of those — the Rev. Al Sharpton, in 2003 — was actively involved in a presidential bid at the time. (Hillary Clinton appeared in last month's season premiere, but not as the host.)
This won't be Trump's first turn as guest host. The billionaire developer and media celebrity presided in April 2004, a few weeks after NBC's "The Apprentice" debuted.
This time, "SNL" will serve as a campaign stop on Trump's drive for the Republican presidential nomination.
Meanwhile, the TV platform granted him has fanned the flames of outrage sparked in June when he announced his candidacy and described some Mexicans who are in the United States illegally as criminals and rapists. Those immigration comments spurred NBC to sever its Miss Universe ties with Trump while declaring he would never return to his "Apprentice" role.

Thanks for the ping list invite, but there are SO many Trump threads, I’d be overwhelmed!
Will be watching because these swarmy illegal alien supporters need to recognize that the majority of Americans do not agree with you. First time all year.
That’s OK! I won’t bother you. The reason for the Make America Great Again list is to try to cut back on the ping traffic — it brings links to all the day’s threads in one or two pings. It’s probably best for the people who work and want to get caught up when they get home.
Oh, I didn’t realize. I thought I’d get one ping per thread.
That sounds great -add me please.
awesome!
MAGA is much mOre interesting than MAGI
