NBC'S 'SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE' CELEBRATES THE HOLIDAY SEASON WITH THREE BACK-TO-BACK SHOWS IN DECEMBER

UPCOMING SHOWS:
December 5 – Blake Lively/Rihanna
December 12 – Taylor Lautner/Bon Jovi
December 19 – James Franco/Muse

New York, NY – November 25, 2009 - "Saturday Night Live" rings in the holiday season with original shows on three consecutive weekends, beginning December 5 with Blake Lively and Rihanna both taking the stage in studio 8H for the first time.

Blake Lively currently stars in the feature film "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee" and the hit show, "Gossip Girl," and just finished filming "The Town," directed by Ben Affleck with a September 2010 release date. Blake achieved early success in 2005 with her role in the bestselling novel adapted to feature films, "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," and "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2."

Multi-platinum superstar Rihanna, who received countless awards and nominations, recently released her highly anticipated and critically acclaimed fourth studio album, 'Rated R,' with her singles, "Russian Roulette" and "Hard" featuring Jeezy already climbing the charts. One of her most notable singles, 'Umbrella,' off her third studio album, "Good Girl Gone Bad," dominated the U.S. pop, urban, and crossover Billboard charts in 2007.

"Twilight" and "New Moon" star Taylor Lautner will make his hosting debut December 12, with musical guest the Grammy Award-winning band Bon Jovi. "New Moon" made box office history with the biggest single opening day. Lautner can be seen next in the romantic comedy "Valentines Day," due out February 2010.

Bon Jovi is returning for their fifth appearance on SNL and will be performing songs from their latest #1 album, The Circle. Bon Jovi has set the standard for more than two decades as one of the most successful rock bands in the world. Globally, the Grammy Award-winning band has sold more than 120 million albums and performed more than 2,600 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 34 million fans.

On December 19, James Franco makes his second appearance as host of SNL, with musical guest British rock trio Muse. Franco recently completed production on Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's "Howl" and is next set to star alongside Danny McBride and Natalie Portman in David Gordon Green's "Your Highness." Franco's metamorphosis into the title role of the TNT biopic "James Dean" earned him career-making reviews, as well as a Golden Globe for "Best Actor in a Motion Picture made for Television." Franco credits includes "Milk," "Pineapple Express," in which he was nominated for a Golden Globe, the "SpiderMan" trilogy and "In The Valley of Elah."

Muse released their fifth album, "The Resistance," on September 15th earning them their highest ever debut on the Billboard Top 200 album chart by bowing at No. 3. The debut single from the album, "Uprising," is currently Number One on the Alternative Radio chart and has been for the last 12 weeks. The band has headlined both Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits Music Festivals and sold out New York City's legendary Madison Square Garden and The Forum in Los Angeles. The band will tour the United States beginning February 2010.

"Saturday Night Live" is from SNL Studios in association with Broadway Video. The creator and executive producer is Lorne Michaels. Steve Higgins and Marci Klein are producers. Ken Aymong is supervising producer. Seth Meyers is head writer. Don Roy King directs.

    Predictions:

    by thrillhouse77

    Blake Lively is going to be a very good host. She was on Jimmy Fallon and was a very naturally funny and cool person, I thought.

    Taylor Lautner is going to suck, I think. To me, he seems like just a body for the girls to fall for and nothing else.

    James Franco is going to be great too. He's game for anything and pretty versatile. He was pretty good the last time he hosted.

    Actually Sudeikis looks a bit like him. Get him to Play Bauer interrogating the Kief. Have him in full Lost Boy's makeup in a skit making fun of the Twilight shit. Give him a musical digital short with Andy. A sketch where he gets into a car wreck, and we get a cameo from Haysbert. Somehow work Hader's Alien sportscaster into a Body Snatcher sketch and have Kief recreate that infamous scene with his pops...

I looked her up on Google and IMDB and both of them just gave me this dopey, confused look like I farted in the middle of the national anthem.
    I'm guessing that NBC is now choosing SNL hosts based on some highly esoteric lottery system, to which we're all equally eligible.

    by rocco curioso

    is what pairing Leif Garrett with Bill Haley & The Comets would've been like(think SNL circa 1977). No way in hell to bridge that generation gap.Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Muse have a song on(ahhhhhh, wait for it)the New Moon soundtrack? Hello? McFly? Slightly better match there.Fuckit. I've only watched SNL maybe 2-3 times since 2001 anyway.

    I know you are all lying. It's not like I am a fan of Blake Lively or Taylor Lautner, but if you frequent this site, I simply don't believe you're "uber hipster" comments that you don't even know who they are. Hipster Lying Fucking Douches. Whether you like Twilight or not, none of you are fortunate enough to escape its massive hold on our pop culture right now, and there is no way you've never heard the name Taylor Lautner, so stop trying to prove how awesomely uninformed you are to this hip new generation of douchebags. And Blake Lively..yes, she sucks. Yes, shes on tv and a few bad movies. Yes. shes wicked, wicked hot. And yes, you've heard of her, so stop pretending. you're all so fucking pathetic.

    by zootrain

    Maybe you fucking dickheads should try to remain somewhat relevant. I don't give a shit about Blake Lively, but at least I know who she is. "Gossip Girl" has been on TV for three years, and it has been a relative hit. I've never seen the show, but I'm aware enough that it exists. And Muse is one of the best bands working today. Better than that Coldplay circle-jerk. Their last album, "Black Holes and Revelations" was one of my favorite albums of 2006. So...my point is this: Our generation is becoming irrelevant. Either keep up or shut the fuck up because you're starting to sound like a bunch of grumpy old men.

    He would have been a much better season premiere host; NBC cost promotion; shoe-horn in Poehler. This will definitely happen by the end of the season, right? Fuck, give it to ANYBODY from Community. And speaking of such, why not have Chevy host again? Same spiel as above! This is really just common sense, so WHY are we getting these teen flavors (excluding Franco) pushed down our throats?

    by shermdawg

    ...believe it or not, but some of us don't watch shitty celebrity tabloid shows,or morning talk radio, who don't watch late night talk shows past the monologues/desk bits unless there's someone decent enough to warrant staying up, don't watch the massive shit hole that MTV has become, don't have children....or are lucky enough to not have children with bad taste, have little to no knowledge of Twilight other than seeing a few books on the shelves at the supermarket or a tv ad playing in the background. It may have made a hundred million or whatever it's opening weekend, but I'm pretty fucking sure the majority of people that contributed to that gross had to drag a teenager to it. Now, I'm not saying it's bad, I haven't seen it, or have even been exposed enough to know exactly what the fuck it is. Hell, I think the most I know about the new movie is there's shitty cg'd wolves and The King's been hawking Team Edward and Team Justin cups. THATS IT. So if we're "dickheads" "douches" and lol, "hipsters" for not knowing actors that aren't household names, so be it. I'm McHipster Douchedick. Also, bitch is on the CW. THE CW. You know damn well the only shows people around here bother to watch on that less than visible network are Smallville and Supernatural. And if that's being a "hipster", you crazy. Smallville sure as fuck ain't "hip". It's like the least "hip" teen drama ever.

    I don't watch any of those shows or read any of those magazines or watch MTV. At all. I don't even listen to the radio anymore (not even satellite). And yet I'm aware enough of my surroundings to know that Blake Lively exists and that Muse makes great fucking music. Face it. Our generation is fading fast. We're saying the exact same thing the generation before us was saying. "Who are these people?" Gossip Girl was pulling 2.2. million viewers in September. I wasn't one of them, but it's worth noticing. Granted, Tyler Lautner is at 15 minutes and counting...

    by dasinfogod

    Corporate synergy. Lively's there to hump the PIPPA LEE flick, a Screen Media Films picture that is distributed by Universal Pictures. Why was January Jones on? "Mad Men" was already done for the season -- she was there to promote Focus Features' PIRATE RADIO; Focus is owned by NBC/Universal. Every time you scratch your head and wonder why this or that person is hosting (remember that Michaels is literally a tool for NBC/Universal), go to IMDb and look up the host you're wondering about and I bet you'll find a current or upcoming connection to NBC/Universal (and soon to be Comcast).

    SNL really has problems getting hosts

    by rob0729

    In the past, A List celebrities fought over themselves to get a chance to host. Today, they get crappy hosts.
    Blake Lively is on The CW for Christ Sakes. Gossip Girls is a big hit for CW standards, but if even an NBC series had its ratings it would be canceled.

    Yeah, they got a Twighlight guy, but not the two biggest stars. And is SNL really going for the teenage girl demo anyway?

    Franco is actually very funny and might end up being the best guest host in years, but the last thing he was in was Pineapple Express if you don't count General Hospital.
    With the holiday movie season in full swing, you would think they might be able to get one of the bigger names from some of the movies coming out. Clooney, DeNero, Natalie Portman, Toby Maguire, Mark Walberg, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr. and Sarah Jessica Parker all have movies opening this month. You would think one of them would want to go on SNL to promote their movie if they thought it was worth it.

    Robert Downey did spend a year on the SNL stage and he sucked big time. He was an SNL regular (1985-1986) in the infamous "actor" cast season back in the 80s that included Anthony Michael Hall, Randy Quaid, and Joan Cusack.
    Since Downey hasn't returned since his career has been revived, he may have some ill will towards Lorne Michaels and/or SNL for being fired after one year.

    I remember at the turn of the millenium this whole decade argument started to get some play. People who want the last year of the 80s to be 1990. Yeah that's gonna go far.

    How about watching the show..

    by jaka

    ...to learn who somebody is instead of pretending how bad the hosts are because you're too culturally out of touch to know who they are? Think highly of yourselves, don'tcha? Anyway. I couldn't keep reading all the negativity so I'll comment on the Muse thing. First, I hate them. Second, they have a song - or SONGS - on both Twilight soundtracks. And evidently the woman who wrote the books listened to them while doing so.

    Listen people...if you hope to get laid by say, a college girl or some "normal" female, it might pay to at least make yourself aware of the things they like. "Who are these people?" For fucks sake your old and hopeless. Oh and Helen Hunt couldn't lick Lively's rusty penny. Well I guess she could... I'ld pay to see it.

    That last sketch

    by burnhollywood

    I guess there's a pothead demographic that tunes in only for the last five minutes.
    As usual, we have to put up with another five minutes of Samberg's "a white guy rapping is FUNNY!" bullshit while Abby gets all of 45 seconds to do her killer/creepy Brittany Murphy impression. This show truly must be a fucking political nightmare behind the scenes.

    Last sketch = Will Forte at his best

    by behemoth

    I bet that bastard wrote it, too. Loved it. Absolutley loved it. Those who didn't can lick the bile-ridden helgramites off of Rosie O'Donnell's soiled lower haunches.

    Sounds like a porn actress! "Blake Lively and Guy Rambone star in "Saturday Night... Alive!'"

    Essemtee - I think you mean Nuno Bettencourt

    by 3d-man

    Gary Cherone was the singer in Extreme. Evidently, Nuno is in Rihanna's band for her 2010 tour. Good choice. He shreds.

    "Gary Cherone was the singer in Extreme."

    by subtitles_off

    Yes, he was, but let's not gloss over the fact that he replaced Sammy Hagar in Van Halen. Archaeologists in the future will dig up one of those discarded VH III CDs and know that we all sucked.

    Look, I'm pushing fifty and have never seen "Gossip Girl" or read a TWILIGHT novel, but I know who Blake Lively and Taylor Lautner are. Why? Because I don't want to be that old guy in the office whose pop cultural references are all twenty years old. You know, the guy who gets blank looks when he keeps talking about how cool Steve McQueen is . . . .

    The potato chip sketch was one of the best of the decade

    by jettl93

    i couldn't stop laughing, especially when Forte jumpede on the desk and was yelling. The combination of the southern accents and the fact it took place at Nasa just made it oddly weird and funny.odds are samberg and tacome wrote it. It would have worked even better as a digital short...i hope they return to it with different situations
