Kim Kardashian is set to be the host, as she is also the first Kardashian to have this iconic position.

In a clip of what's to come on Saturday night, Kim was seen standing next to Cecily Strong, and Halsey, who is set to perform, later that night.

Kim opened the clip, with a brief intro, by welcoming viewers with"Hi, I'm Kim Kardashian West, and I'm hosting SNL this week with Halsey."

Strong also went on to ask the two, if they should all start their own girl group.

This was met with an "absolutely not" reply, by Halsey. Kim jokingly said they already said no, when the idea was pitched, backstage.

In this clip, Strong went on to ask Kim if she was nervous about being this week's SNL host. She then replied "Why? I don't have to write sketches, do I? Memorize lines?"

On Twitter, there were a lot of mixed reactions, following the release of this SNL clip.

Some believe that Kim hosting will be an interesting night, while others feel that she may not be qualified enough to host a legendary TV show, such as SNL.
