*SNL* announced its first three hosts and musical guests for Season 51, which kicks off on Oct. 4\. The show didn’t check off any of the people [I want to see asked back](https://www.theomnicosm.com/5-more-people-who-need-to-host-snl-again-and-3-more-people-who-should-never-host-again/), but at least **Lorne Michaels** took my advice on who to not bring back.
