What BBN said about it
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorDruski will host Saturday Night Live on November seventh, and he is the first online content creator ever to do it, according to Variety.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have attended summits with fewer delegations.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA comedian who built his name on a phone is walking into Studio Eight H, and the building has not yet commented.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNot yet! The show's reps hadn't responded when Variety went to print, so I'm calling it a very polite handshake.
