Saturday Night Live is returning for season 47 with a slew of first-time hosts to kick off the month of October. For one, Kim Kardashian is set to serve as a host on Oct. 9th with musical guest Halsey. "OMFG no turning back now!” Kim tweeted. “LOL I’m hosting SNL!!!!!!” It'll be interesting to see how Kim Kardashian's personality as a reality star translates to sketch comedy.
