Saturday Night Live has announced the first three hosts for the new SNL season and dropped the giant bomb-diggity that Tracy Morgan will make his return to comedy, and to Saturday Night Live on October 17. Unless something comes up before October 17, this will be Morgan’s first time returning to performing comedy since the devastating crash last summer on the New Jersey Turnpike.

There’s not any name that SNL could have announced that would have been more exciting than this. Congratulations to Tracy Morgan and to Saturday Night Live.

In other news Miley Cyrus and Amy Schumer will also host episodes in the fall. This will be Schumer’s first time hosting SNL, and another notch on her comedy belt, and would normally not be referred to as ‘in other news’. Schumer’s own sketch show, Inside Amy Schumer has given SNL a run for its money with outstanding sketch writing for all three seasons and we will be tv-side on October 10th to see her take her first hosting run.

Big news for SNL, for comedy, for Tracy Morgan, and for Amy Schumer.
