Scandal star Kerry Washington is trading the White House for the Saturday Night Live stage!

The 36-year-old star is set to host the show on November 2nd, with rapper Eminem serving as the evening’s musical guest. Though this is Kerry’s first appearance on the show, Em is no stranger to SNL; this appearance will be his sixth!

The news of Kerry’s one-night gig as host of the show comes on the coat tails of comments from cast member Kenan Thompson that the show struggled to find black female talent.

“It’s just a touchy part of the business,” Thompson said. “Like in auditions, they just never find ones that are ready.”

The show airs just three days before Eminem’s album The Marshall Mathers LP 2 is set to release.

Be sure to tune in November 2!
