Hispanic Groups Slam NBC for Allowing Donald Trump to Host ‘SNL’

It was announced last week that GOP frontrunner Donald Trump would head back to NBC to host Saturday Night Live on Nov. 7. And while the decision isn't too surprising – let's be real, ratings make you money, right, folks? – what is even more unsurprising is hearing that several Hispanic advocacy groups are slamming NBC for agreeing to have Trump on.

You know, because of that whole "Mexican rapist" thing that went down during the billionaire's presidential campaign announcement.

 I will be hosting @nbcsnl on November 7th. Looking forward to it!

TMZ reports that the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda are taking issue with the network's decision, stating that they are horrified at what was settled on. It appears that while NBC made them happy by canning Trump from the oh-so-successful Celebrity Apprentice a while back – which now has a new host in Arnold Schwarzenegger (yep, seriously...) – NBC's decision to squash the feud and bring him back for SNL is, as they say, appalling.

"We are appalled that you would enable Trump's hateful speech for nothing [more] than a ratings ploy and ask that you rescind the SNL invitation," the group said.

Of course, while their annoyance is probably justified, it might be something the heads of the network heard and immediate forgot because, in all seriousness, Donald Trump's episode of SNL will probably be the highest rated of Season 41. Maybe even more?

Furthermore, the gossip site explains that Trump's host job will also come right in the middle of sweeps week, which is undoubtedly something NBC execs took in mind.

So, thoughts, folks? Will you watch? Let us know below.
