Saturday Night Live will return for its 42nd season with none other than Harley Quinn herself, Margot Robbie. The Suicide Squad star and first-time host will host the opener Oct. 1. Robbie will undoubtedly poke fun at negative reviews of the Skwad flick during her SNL appearance and possibly that infamously creepy Vanity Fair profile released this summer.
The new season of SNL will see new faces in added cast members Mikey Day, Alex Moffat, and first Latina cast member Melissa Villaseñor. The three sign on after the show let go of Jay Pharaoh and Taran Killam.
The premiere will also feature a musical performance by The Weeknd, who just dropped the titular first single for his upcoming album Starboy. The album will be out Nov. 25. The Weeknd's appearance on the show means that he will now have an earlier set at The Meadows Festival so he can make his evening TV gig.
