Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump sees your Saturday Night Live season 41 premiere cameo and raises you a hosting gig. NBC announced Trump will host the Saturday, Nov. 7 episode of the late-night NBC sketch series. Seriously.

Sia will be the musical guest for Trump's upcoming show.

This is Trump's second time hosting Saturday Night Live. The Republican presidential candidate and former host of The Apprentice previously hosted the show in 2004. This will be Sia's second appearance on the show as the musical guest.

Saturday Night Live has long been associated with elections and featured a bevy of famous political faces gracing its stages, from Barack Obama and Clinton to Sarah Palin and John McCain. Many times the political figure meets their SNL counterpart. Taran Killam recently took on the role of Trump on SNL. Darrell Hammond, who serves as Saturday Night Live's announcer now, previously played Trump.

Trump and NBC ended their relationship in June after Trump made controversial comments about Mexican immigrants while announcing his bid for president.

"At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values. Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump. To that end, the annual Miss USA and Miss Universe Pageants, which are part of a joint venture between NBC and Trump, will no longer air on NBC. In addition, as Mr. Trump has already indicated, he will not be participating in The Celebrity Apprentice on NBC. Celebrity Apprentice is licensed from Mark Burnett's United Artists Media Group and that relationship will continue," the network said in a statement earlier this year.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is the new host of The Celebrity Apprentice.

Saturday Night Live airs Saturdays, 11:30 p.m. on NBC.

(E! and NBC are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)
