Kanye West will be the musical guest tonight on the season premier of Saturday Night Live but he wasn't their first choice...
Apparently Ariana Grande was supposed to take the stage.
On this week's “Origins With James Andrew Miller” podcast SNL boss Lorne Michaels admitted,
“We had Ariana drop out for emotional reasons two days ago. That’s our premiere, and then Kanye stepped up, and he’ll be there.”
