Tonight at 11:30pm, Donald Trump takes center stage to host a very controversial Saturday Night Live. Trump has hosted before, in 2003, but that was before he was a Presidential candidate, and long before he made public statements offending Mexican immigrants and angering Hispanic activists across the country. Trump referred to Mexican immigrants as rapists and drug smugglers and has repeatedly vocalized a plan to build a wall between the United States and Mexico.

Louis CK told the Post he doubts he’ll watch it.  John Leguizamo has said he will never watch SNL again. Al Madrigal has used social media to ask Saturday Night Live to #Dump Trump, and Oscar winning director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarriuto has actively campaigned against Trump hosting.

But Saturday Night Live isn’t backing down. They’ve dealt with controversy before– many were angered when SNL invited Andrew Dice Clay to host most notably cast member Nora Dunn who boycotted that episode. SNL has also been criticized for its lack of a strong Latino presence on the show, not only now but throughout its 41 year history.

Watch two sets of promos below, one with Kate McKinnon and Sia, with Trump wearing a Sia wig, and another series of promos with Cecily Tyson.
