Saturday Night Live returns TONIGHT, October 1 with a season premiere that is promising to be gigantic. Three new castmembers, a brand new Donald Trump played by Alec Baldwin (Tina Fey’s idea, by the way), a promised showstopper of a cold open, and Margot Robbie hosting.

Everyone’s excited to meet SNL’s three new cast members, Mikey Day, Melissa Villaseñor and Alex Moffat. It’s also Julio Torres’ first show as a full time staff writer and we’re looking forward to seeing what he brings to the show.

This will be Margot Robbie’s first time hosting the show. She’s talented, and her career is going pretty great with a co-starring role in The Wolf of Wall Street, co-starring with Tina Fey in Whisky Tango Foxtrot and that’s just the beginning. But this summer she really hit the mainstream consciousness after stealing the blockbuster hit movie Suicide Squad as Harley Quinn. She’ll also likely be the number one sexy Halloween costume for women this year.

There are several promos for the big episode including a video of Robbie having a pre-show celebration party at the Rainbow Room drinking wine with Kate McKinnon. Wine and bread party for two?  Plus, an impostor joins Margot and Keenan Thompson to promote the season premiere with musical guest, The Weeknd.

Saturday Night Live’s 42nd Season Premieres TONIGHT, Saturday October 1 at 11:30pm.
