Kanye West: Lorne Michaels promised I would host SNL this season

Vulture

West returned to TMZ Live today to explain his unaired pro-Trump SNL rant and the alleged bullying he encountered on the show. He also said: “Now, Lorne has promised me to host this year. I do feel a bit slighted that I have not hosted SNL because it’s going to be lit! When we did the Lil Pump thing, I feel that I’m missing my calling a little bit. I’m so funny!” Despite being a six-time musical guest, West has never hosted Saturday Night Live.
