Back in 2011, Fey played Sarah Palin on SNL
Saturday Night Live will be a very different show this fall, with the departures of Fred Armisen, Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis, but it'll return with a familiar face on September 28th: Former cast member and head writer Tina Fey will be hosting the season premiere. Arcade Fire will be the musical guest. Does this mean Amy Poehler will resurface too? Please?
Then, on October 5th, hosting and musical act duties will be performed by Miley Cyrus, the meme of the moment (yay, more Vanessa Bayer as Miley!). A week later, Bruce Willis will host with Katy Perry as musical guest.
The SNL ticket lottery opened last month.
