Saturday Night Live has had an unusually solid season this year in terms of their host and musical guest picks and the recently announced upcoming hosts are no exception.
Lindsay Lohan was originally going to host the December 4th show, but that’ll be pretty hard to do from the Betty Ford Center. Scheduled in her place is Robert DeNiro and musical guest Diddy-Dirty Money. After that it’ll be Paul Rudd and Paul McCartney, then Jeff Bridges and Eminem. Anne Hathaway and Florence and the Machine were announced for the November 20th show earlier this week.
Is it absolutely insane that I’m holding out for them to announce Nicki Minaj as both the host and the musical guest for a show later this season?
“In terms of their host their host and musical guest picks” being the key point here. As far as the writing goes, though, it’s been far from a solid season. I’d rate this show on the funny scale at about 3 or 4 out of 10, and that’s being generous. I’ll say it again, Lorne Michaels needs to pass the helm over to someone who’s still got it as far as knowing what makes people laugh.
just my two cents, senor loco, i’ve found the last few seasons to be very funny. there are always complaints about the head writer, there’s no way to make everyone happy. snl is continually changing and growing, and you either grow with the show, or you move on. there are new people watching the show to replace you.
