Brian Williams Hosts
The Last SNL Until …

I am – Hercules!!

NBC News’ Brian Williams hosts the last “Saturday Night Live” before Monday’s planned writers’ strike shuts the show down for the foreseeable future.

Will there be a sketch featuring a crestfallen Jonah Hill moaning about how the strike may have cost him his shot at hosting SNL later this month?

Today’s New York Times describes the witty Williams as a “rabid” fan of SNL. An excerpt from that piece:

[Lorne] Michaels noted one small adjustment made for Mr. Williams’s sake. A planned sketch about edited-out parts of the Harry Potter films featuring the recently outed Dumbledore will not star Mr. Williams as Dumbledore. And the show will surround Mr. Williams with high-quality support, including two big-name surprise guests, one from politics and the other from music.

We also know from the promos that Bronx Beat will be back and that Feist is the musical guest.

11:30 p.m. Saturday. NBC.
