The fourth episode of Season 41 and the 791st episode of Saturday Night Live, hosted by politician, media personality, and businessman who served as the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump with musical guest Sia. It premiered on November 7, 2015. Earlier that week, many Mexican protesters petitioned to have Trump resign from hosting, however this boycott failed, and the show broadcasted smoothly. This is Donald Trump's 2nd time as the host and his first appearance in 11 years, 7 months, and 4 days. He last hosted SNL back on the April 3, 2004 episode, the sixteenth episode of SNL's 29th season, with musical guests Toots & the Maytals. This is also the 2nd musical guest appearance on SNL for Sia.
Sia previously made her musical guest debut on January 17, 2015, the eleventh episode of SNL's 40th season, hosted by comedy legend and actor Kevin Hart.
The goodnights speech for Trump is Thanks to Sia, Larry David, Ivanka Trump, We Love You All, Thank You Very Much, What a Great Evening. (Cheers and Applause)
