With his new album Waves due out Feb. 11, Kanye West is now reportedly in talks to perform on the Feb. 13 episode of Saturday Night Live.

According to Fake Shore Drive, Melissa McCarthy is expected to host that night, which falls during New York Fashion Week, where West is also planning to launch his Yeezy Season 3 collection.

As previously reported, Larry David will host SNL the week prior, on Feb. 6, with musical guest The 1975.

Since this story was originally published, a rep for Saturday Night Live has confirmed McCarthy will indeed host the Feb. 13 episode with West performing.
