Learn Who Hosts The
First New SNL Since 2007!!

i'm not a dirty old man, but i'll say it anyway by Holodigm	Feb 13th, 2008 05:22:15 PM
they should co-host my cawk.
They need to reschedule Dwayne Johnson. by Shermdawg	Feb 13th, 2008 05:23:30 PM
I was lookin' forward to him hosting before the strike.
I can't watch SNL anymore by slone13	Feb 13th, 2008 05:24:59 PM
I've tried. A number of times over the last few years. I'm pretty sure that at 35 I'm about 10 years past the demographic that SNL is aiming for anyway.
co-host what? by zer0cool2k2	Feb 13th, 2008 05:25:20 PM
As in "Tina Fey and Ellen Page co-host 'A Tribute to Mike Ock' "?
I'll say this anyway... by jimmy rabbitte	Feb 13th, 2008 05:25:44 PM
This show is still on?
Is this show still on! by skywalkerfamily	Feb 13th, 2008 05:26:29 PM
OMG!
Also, Forte's Tim Calhoun better appear. by Shermdawg	Feb 13th, 2008 05:26:41 PM

I second the Dwayne Johnson rescheduling by slone13	Feb 13th, 2008 05:27:05 PM
I worked with him a few years ago and not only is he extremely funny, he's just an all around super fucking nice guy, too. One of the few truly genuine people in this industry.
TOO SOON ! by Pound Sand	Feb 13th, 2008 05:29:58 PM

Hayden Christensen should host! by skywalkerfamily	Feb 13th, 2008 05:30:06 PM
He's got a new movie coming out.
I say no one should host. by Kid Idioteque	Feb 13th, 2008 05:36:07 PM
And the writers should just pretend they're still on strike. That way, everyone wins.
April 19 SNL host: Kristen Bell. Make it happen, NBC! by Pennsy	Feb 13th, 2008 05:41:53 PM
It would be perfect; Forgetting Sarah Marshall released the day before - she can do comedy, she can sing if they need her to. It's a no-brainer.
What about Chuck? by skywalkerfamily	Feb 13th, 2008 05:48:14 PM
He's got the comic timing down.
Obama musical guest fresh off his Grammy win!!!! by SydBarretsMyDad	Feb 13th, 2008 05:49:05 PM
that is all
SNL...this idea is free... by FlickaPoo	Feb 13th, 2008 05:58:53 PM
...they should do a skit of Obama as the hero of Blazing Saddles...you know, when the railroad chain gang boss wants a song and they break into "I get no kick...from champaign..."...with Bush as the redneck gang boss...
Xiphos, dude! by BadMrWonka	Feb 13th, 2008 06:09:56 PM
Mumbly Emo Crap is the name of my band!!
Toshiba Banner Ad by Red Shirt	Feb 13th, 2008 06:16:49 PM
I bought seven of thos HDDVD players, after I clicked on that banner ad. Was that a bad idea? I was thinking, that I..oh crap. Sorry! I tripped over my Beta tapes. Ouch, my foot! Gotta run kids, my Merlin and Timex Sinclair are calling!
I'll screw Tina Fey till her face turns grey... by samuraiyao	Feb 13th, 2008 06:22:21 PM
I'll give her my lasik love of hot sex....
Kevin McKidd should host. by gotilk	Feb 13th, 2008 06:39:25 PM
Fammit!
Tiny Fey is too skinny. by skywalkerfamily	Feb 13th, 2008 06:48:13 PM
She has like zero honkers.
lkicker by Napoleon Park	Feb 13th, 2008 06:53:52 PM
Yur idea won't work. Using the word "champaign" as a visual pun representing the middle ground between the original lyric "Champagne" and Obamas baliwick, a political "campaign" IS clever when you see it written out, but sung it would just sound like "champagne' and there's not joke there. Don't be so literate - television is a visual medium.
Champaign by zacdilone	Feb 13th, 2008 06:55:37 PM
I thought they meant the city in Illinois, where Obama is from.
And they should get a rapper as musical guest by Uncle Stan	Feb 13th, 2008 07:03:00 PM
That would be so fucking cutting edge.
Flickapoo is right... by ScaryWaitress	Feb 13th, 2008 07:09:33 PM
That shit would be KICK-ASS!!! Napoleon Park, you're missing the point... maybe you didn't see Blazing Saddles? The joke is that Obama is so debonair (like Clevon Little) and Bush is such a tool (like the chain-gang boss)... come ON that skit would ROCK. Keenan would be PERFECT as Bart's friend in that scene, too. DAMN. Wish I'd thought of that.
Rock Band, Xiphos? Not Guitar Hero 3? by Pennsy	Feb 13th, 2008 07:20:46 PM
;)
I Was Kinda Hoping For Michael Cera... by El Fuego	Feb 13th, 2008 07:25:43 PM

Clint Howard sketch by Musicballs	Feb 13th, 2008 07:36:09 PM
I'm hoping to see Page's impression of Clint Howard
Yes, idiots, it's still on by avengerbri2	Feb 13th, 2008 07:42:03 PM
if you don't like it, don't watch, STFU, and go watch fuckin' Dr. Who.
Woohoo by BLIND ALBINO PENGUINS	Feb 13th, 2008 07:45:37 PM
Crappy SNL is back! Woohoo. At this point,unless Javier Bardem were to end up hosting, it doesn't really matter to me. Too bad they don't have Horatio Sanz anymore. He could've made a fine fat Anton Chigurh.I can see it all now. [Insert crappy joke], friendo.
EmoRap! by Pennsy	Feb 13th, 2008 07:48:45 PM
That's where it's at.
Will Forte needs to do another one of those songs... by ScaryWaitress	Feb 13th, 2008 07:54:14 PM
...to help explain amended tax reform and economy stimulus packages....... "....yaaaaaa..aaa...ha!....YAA AAAA...aaaa....hA!...."
SNL has sucked for over 15 years by picardsucks	Feb 13th, 2008 07:58:08 PM
who cares???? Like the guy who does Vincent Price and Pacino though
Xiphos by BadMrWonka	Feb 13th, 2008 08:10:41 PM
Somewhat Fruity Metrosexuals is kinda redundant, isn't it? you need a clear contrast...something that grabs attention... The Straight Queers? The Big Dick Whiteys? Slamdunkin' Asians? Clear-Headed Scientologists? Lesbians Without Tongues? Tito Jackson Impersonators?
It's not nearly as bad as it was during the Fallon years by JKrow21	Feb 13th, 2008 09:04:05 PM
Ugh.
Jonah Hill! by Super Rabbi	Feb 13th, 2008 09:19:01 PM
Let him host!
re: picardsucks and the last 15yrs of SNL by damagedinc	Feb 13th, 2008 10:16:20 PM
so you say the last 15 years of SNL has sucked. i'm sorry "picardsucks", i don't know what it is but there's something about you that seems hostile to anything new, "picardsucks". i don't know what it is "picardsucks", but it seems like you're hostile to newer ideas and presentations. i just get this sense that you get a good handle on the way things are, then something new comes along and it just doesn't mesh with you. am i off on this "picardsucks"?
REALLY inspired choice... by JimCurry	Feb 13th, 2008 10:25:47 PM
I like the girl, but c'mon... Plus when she was around, the show was horrible - it actually improved when she left.
Michael Cera. by nalapou	Feb 13th, 2008 11:16:48 PM
It's a crime that his first hosting duty was not recorded for television. Jonah Hill should also be rescheduled, as should The Rock.
Mmmm, that comedy's been slow-roasting since Nov 15... by YotzVonFrelnik	Feb 13th, 2008 11:35:28 PM
...Ought to be hilarious, right?
Will we also learn who cares? by JacksParasites	Feb 14th, 2008 01:06:38 AM
SNL - still less funny than prostate Cancer.
...clever quips aside... by damagedinc	Feb 14th, 2008 02:09:37 AM
if you don't like it, don't watch it. there's no use complaining about it. guaranteed that there wouldn't be anything better placed in that time slot. i still like it a lot and i'm always impressed that a SNL skit always feels like it's SNL, even when it's a miss. i think this cast is way talented. it doesn't mean that everyone has to like it. if everyone took their clever "putting it out to pasture" commentary aside and saw the logical conclusion to a world without SNL (which is on at the SATURDAY at the 11:30 TIMESLOT, and not messing with anyone's prime time), you might have something new that would never fit into cultural consciousness. SNL is an institution and even when it doesn't totally work (and this cast is by no means the worst cast), it's a formula that's correctable, often satisfying, and always carries the possibility for really original and ground breaking humor. i know this is a lot to write for the "PRO-SNL" camp, but to just say "put it out of its misery" is to be way overblown. the end.
When an SNL alum comes back to host, I feel cheated... by Cletus Van Damme	Feb 14th, 2008 09:52:44 AM
...like when I go through a drive thru and get a Kid's Meal for the Spider-Man movie tie-in toy and find out after the fact that I got some damned Dora the Explorer substitute toy.
For such a shortened season they ahould have by skimn	Feb 14th, 2008 11:18:56 AM
come back with Alec Baldwin.
I agree with the above by skimn	Feb 14th, 2008 11:27:49 AM
I like Tina on 30 Rock, but she admits herself that she's no great shakes as an actress. She admitted at the ( I think ) SAG awards that she wouldn't be there if it weren't for Baldwin.
Tina Fey? Outta here. by thegreatwhatzit	Feb 14th, 2008 11:46:41 AM
I really can't think of a single woman or man who admires her. Women dismiss her "artificial intelligence" and guys gauge her as "the most terrifying thing that can happen to you on a blind date." Test patterns earn better ratings than 30 ROCK. I wish NBC would stop trying to unload this cow on the public. Trust me, nobody's buying.
thegreatwhatzit by hst666	Feb 14th, 2008 12:19:32 PM
RU kidding? Tina Fey is Smart, Funny, and Sexy. I and many other geeks have had a crush on her for years.
SNL works if you Tivo it by Knobules	Feb 14th, 2008 02:07:23 PM
That way you can watch the opening 3 or 4 comedy sketches and skip over the 70 minutes of commercials. OK I get it NBC you want me to buy a Dodge RAM. Geezus!
You know who would be an awesome host?... by DanielKurland	Feb 14th, 2008 03:53:43 PM
Daniel Day-Lewis. "Drainnnnnnnageeeeeee!" I'd also like them to use Michael Cera, in an actually televised episode.
SNL Died... by christian66	Feb 14th, 2008 04:21:45 PM
..when they started using clearly canned laughter in skits. YOu can tell when they're swetening things that are stone unfunny. And having BUdweiser or whoever "sponsor" the latest corporate whore band of the month couldn't be less radical. Recall when Belushi got Fear as a musical guest. Can youimagine anybody in the SNL cast being allowed to that input now?
Re: Damagedinc by picardsucks	Feb 14th, 2008 04:43:38 PM
Yeah, your way off, but it seems everyone else here agrees with me that it suck anyway. SNL used to have some balls not it's just lame pop culture references. I love good new entertaining things but SHL is neither new nor fresh, it's a 30 year old tv show so your arguement is , like SNL, quite lame. Love South Park though, even the last season of weaker South Park is better than the last 15 of shit SNL. Trey and Matt have big stones and don't give a shit who they piss off (for better or for worse), SNL writers don't want to offend the douchebag politician they hang out with at Vanity Fair parties. (Hey let's write another Lindsay Lohan joke, god damn is that shit funny !!!! And that music video skit with the really really really fat unfunny black guy is just priceless!!!!
What's it going to take to get this show cancelled? by Pops Freshemeyer	Feb 14th, 2008 11:00:44 PM
Lorne Michaels running a dogfighting ring from the studio? The show died with Phil Hartman. The only great episode in the last decade was the first time Dwayne hosted the show. The superman skit roxored.
Isn't this Fey's 10th time hosting this decade? by skywalkerfamily	Feb 14th, 2008 11:20:14 PM
Guess Andy Richter was busy.
Actually...Fey has never hosted. by Freakemovie	Feb 15th, 2008 09:27:27 AM
She used to be on the show. Remember? Or was that just a really bad joke?
No Jonah Hill? by Anna Valerious	Feb 15th, 2008 02:35:59 PM
He was supposed to host in Nov. :( But, I'm glad that it's back because I was getting sick of the Bon Jovi episode aired every month...it was funny, but is it really something to watch over and over?
Is this show still on! if i had a dollar by Orionsangels	Feb 15th, 2008 08:30:44 PM
for every talkbacker that says that during an SNL thread. I'd be rich. We get it. the shows bad irs crap, but like it or not. its gonna be on the air forever. it'll out live you. so whats the point?
Why all the Tina Fey hatred? by haggardatbest	Feb 15th, 2008 08:32:29 PM
Sexiest woman on television! I'd take her over any of the blondie model types any day of the week. And I'm 10 years younger than she is!
Tina Fey is "in" right now, i think shes lame by wilsonfisk89	Feb 17th, 2008 02:11:06 AM

Bob Buttface should host! by Boris Baddenov	Feb 17th, 2008 12:33:56 PM
Other than that, the only great skits I ever enjoyed on SNL were Phil Hartman as "The Anal Retentive Chef", and the Celebrity Jeopardy segments. Darrell Hammond does a HILARIOUS Sean Connery!!!
you know that list... by BigTexas42	Feb 19th, 2008 10:48:57 AM
that couples have, that, if you happened to have the opportunity to have sex with these people, that you could do so with no ramifications? Tina's on my list. andy samburg is the funniest sonnofabitch on the planet right now. I'm dying to see what digital shorts he's come up with over the last 3 months.
