Saturday Night Live is coming back next month. We already know that the 46th season, which begins on 10/3, will have Jim Carrey playing Joe Biden. And now, thanks to a New York Times interview with SNL impresario Lorne Michaels, we know that the premiere will be hosted by Chris Rock and feature Megan Thee Stallion as the musical guest.

Chris Rock was an SNL cast member from 1990-1993, and he's come back as a host in 1996 and 2014; right now, he's starring in the upcoming fourth season of FX's Coen Brothers-inspired series Fargo. Megan Thee Stallion performed on SNL last year when Chance The Rapper brought her out to assist with his song "Handsome."
