Saturday Night Live just announced who the hosts and musical guests will be for their first few episodes of the new season, and it looks like The Weeknd made the cut with host Amy Schumer.

This comes just before he embarks on his ‘Madness’ fall tour.

No word yet on what songs he’ll perform, but we can bet they’ll be from his just-released highly-anticipated album “Beauty Behind The Madness” which is expected to land at No. 1 on next week’s charts.

Miley Cyrus has was also announced as the host and musical guest on the October 3 season opener. I wonder if there’ll be any skits about Nicki Minaj! Rounding out the first three episodes is musical guest Demi Lovato and host Tracy Morgan on Oct. 17.
