New 'SNL' Hosts Named: Tracy Morgan 'Stoked' For Post-Accident Comeback

Tracy Morgan got himself trending today, thanks to the good news that he'll be returning to NBC this fall as one of the hosts of "Saturday Night Live" Season 41. Tracy almost lost his life, and did lose a close friend, in a horrifying car accident in June 2014. Tracy's recovery has been slow but steady and he said he hoped to return to comedy. Now he's doing it, back home on NBC.

SNL just revealed the first three hosts for Season 41:

That's Miley Cyrus taking on the October 3 premiere, in her third time as host. Believe it or not, Amy Schumer has never hosted SNL before, so October 10 will be her debut. Tracy returns to host for his second time, although he was a cast member from 1996 to 2003.


Tracy tweeted that he was "stoked to be going home" to SNL -- and also NBC, home of his much-missed show "30 Rock":

Stoked to be going home...#SNL

The musical guests for those episodes, and future episode hosts, will be announced at a later date. Good luck to the SNL41 crew!
