Actor Debra Messing reacted to the announcement and via her Twitter wrote, "Why Kim Kardashian?

Netizens followed Messing's suit and left their reactions over the reality star's SNL debut. One user wrote, "SNL has never disappointed me until now. Kim Kardashian will be hosting an episode of it. Next, she'll start acting, singing, and before you know it she'll be the damn President! #Damn You SNL."
