Kim Kardashian may host the upcoming season premiere of ‘Saturday Night Live’ and creator Lorne Michaels suggested Kanye West be the musical guest, according to a source who spoke EXCLUSIVELY to HL.
Kim Kardashian, 40, may soon be gracing our screens on the season premiere of Saturday Night Live. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star “was asked” to be the host of the highly anticipated episode, according to one source, and there’s even been some talk to have her sisters join in and have her husband Kanye West, 44, whom she’s been separated from, be the musical guest.
“Kim was asked to be a host for SNL and there was even discussion of having Kanye be the musical guest for the first episode of the season,” the source EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife. “The desire is for Kim to host and potentially have some family members take part in skits or the opening monologue. If they can’t figure it out for the season debut, they still want her to do a hosting spot sometime during the season.”
HollywoodLife reached out to Kim’s reps for comment but have yet to receive a response.
It’s unclear which sisters, if not all, would be involved, but since their family reality show officially ended earlier this year, it would be a great opportunity for them to share the spotlight once again. As far as Kanye’s possible participation, the odds aren’t great but it’s still an idea that’s been put out there. “The discussion of having Kanye be the musical guest didn’t go much further than a suggestion so the likelihood of that happening is very slim,” the source explained. “But Lorne put it out there.”
