'SNL' Fans Vow to Skip Kim Kardashian Episode

By Alyssa Fikse - October 9, 2021 10:11 pm EDT

Kim Kardashian is set to host the Oct. 9th episode of Saturday Night Live, and the reality star is confident in her abilities to entertain the crowd. In the promo for the latest episode, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star is asked by Cecily Strong if she's nervous about taking over the 30 Rock stage. "Why? I don't have to write sketches, do I?" Kardashian responded. "Memorize lines?" Musical guest Halsey reminded her, "No, there are cue cards." Kardashian then asked, "Everyone else won't look as good as me, will they?" to which Strong assured her, "No, absolutely not." Kardashian joked in conclusion, "This is so easy."

While Kardashian is ready to go, many SNL fans are less than thrilled that the reality star is hosting the comedy show. Twitter was filled with people expressing their displeasure over her presence. While fans were excited by the prospect of Halsey's performance, many believe that Kardashian isn't the right choice.

Has SNL ever had a less-qualified, less-talented host than Kim Kardashian?
