After the show tweeted an image of the first pairs of hosts and musical guests for the 47th season, Kim took to her Twitter and showed her reaction, saying, "OMFG no turning back now!!!!"

Referring to SNL's latest line-up announcement, 'Will & Grace' actor Debra Messing tweeted, asking, "Why Kim Kardashian?... I mean, I know she is a cultural icon, but SNL has hosts, generally, who are performers who are there to promote a film, TV show, or album launch. Am I missing something?"
