We're sure President Trump is just thrilled right now.

NBC announced Monday that Alec Baldwin, who of course has memorably portrayed Trump this season, will officially host Saturday Night Live Feb. 11.

This will mark Baldwin's record-setting 17th time hosting the program — expect No. 2 host Steve Martin (15 times) to cameo if we're lucky.

Baldwin will be joined by musical guest Ed Sheeran, whose new album drops March 3 and whose new singles "Castle on a Hill" and "Shape of You" are rising up the charts.

The next new episode of SNL will be Feb. 4, with Kristen Stewart hosting for the first time.

Psst: Even if it's years past its prime pop culture relevancy, it's never too late for Stewart to channel Twilight.
