Donald Trump is hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend.

Following in the season 41 footsteps of previous hosts Miley Cyrus, Amy Schumer, and Tracy Morgan, the Republican presidential candidate is set to hit the stage with musicial guest Sia.

This isn't his first hosting stint—watch the opening monologue from his April 2004 appearance below, which is signature Trump.

Trump played himself quite a bit on his season 29 SNL episode. This time around we would love to see some of the mogul's character work.

Taran Killam has taken on the role of Trump this season. Darrell Hammond, now Saturday Night Live's announcer, has played Trump. Trump has played Trump. It's time to branch out.

Does he have a knack for impressions? Who knows!

Here are some of the pop culture figures we want to see The Donald attempt on his Saturday Night Live episode tomorrow—because we like to dream big, and also, we know he reads E! Online.

1. Donald Trump as The Weeknd

Now we know seeing the GOP candidate as a musician known for emo stripper music may not be what anyone had in mind. That's why it's perfect. The singer is all over the charts right now—everyone's listening to his music. Trump could even do a Capitol Hill-related parody of "The Hills." Look, we're not writing the sketches here, but how fun would it be to see Trump go PBR&B?

2. Donald Trump as Arnold Schwarzenegger

The former host of The Apprentice taking on the new host of The Celebrity Apprentice? Let the roast (and the Austrian accent attempts) begin!

3. Donald Trump as Hillary Clinton

Sorry, Kate McKinnon, you make a great Clinton—but we have to see Trump take on one of his opponents, and we're reaching across the aisle for this one. Clinton made a cameo on the season premiere, now we want to see what happens when Trump channels one of the people he's been talking about on the campaign trail.

4. Donald Trump as Daniel Craig

The latest installment in the James Bond franchise, Spectre, opens today. It's only timely that SNL takes on 007 in time for it's big opening—let's see what Trump can do with a British accent and a Vesper Martini.

5. Donald Trump as Rosie O'Donnell

Trump has manufactured, err, engaged in a lot of public feuds, perhaps most notably with the former View co-host. Flipping the situation to see Trump as one of the people he's slammed in the past would be an interesting take on how the subjects of his ridicule handle the situation.

6. Donald Trump as Sia

Can you imagine Trump as a shy person? Neither can we—let's see if he can play against type by taking on one of the music industry's more introverted stars. Bonus points if musical guest Sia channels Trump in the sketch.

7. Donald Trump as Justin Bieber

The Biebs has been releasing a lot of new music off of his forthcoming album, Purpose. Politicians are always struggling to find a way to attract younger votes. Here's your chance to get on the youth's radar, Trump!

8. Donald Trump as Amy Schumer

Both of them tell it like it is, and both are SNL hosts this season. One has been questioned in the past regarding his comments on women, while the other has been celebrated for touching on feminist issues in her comedy. This is a sketch waiting to happen.
