Some athletes do a great job, pretty sure it was the launching pad for The Rock being a movie star

 

Have a group of five people ever hosted SNL? That sounds really hard to pull off lol

 

I feel like that would just overcrowd every sketch.

 

The Betty White episode, they've also had two hosts a bunch of times like the Olsen twins

 

They also have had Tina Fey/Amy Poehler host and Nick Lachey/Jessica Simpson. The latter was not good but who's surprised about that

 

Michael Phelps was the breakout star of the 2008 Olympics and hosted the season premiere soon after. He was terrible. My initial thought was, "Mike, don't quit your day job." Can't say how Simone Biles & Co. would do but athletes don't have the best track record on SNL

I think the Rock is the exception to the rule as he got his start in the WWE, which requires a level of acting talents. I know professional wrestling is partially fake but still involves a ton of physical abilities. But I think the Rock had a natural knack for being charming and funny so it's no surprise he was able to turn that to a successful movie/TV career.

 

There's been only a few decent athlete hosts: Peyton and Eli Manning, The Rock, some of Joe Montana and Michael Jordan. Others have been monumentally awful like Michael Phelps.

 

I'd rather have them do a cameo, or Weekend Update segment

 

Not sure I ever saw the Phelps episode. Now I kind of want to.

I hope they get Tom Hanks to host this season. Ryan Gosling would be cool, too.

 

He just did it last year and nothing will top this

 

I know it's cliche at this point but I'm really hoping for another Timberlake episode, it's been 3 years since he hosted now

 

Yeah, and Jon Hamm too

 

Hamm or Galifianakis seem likely because of "Keeping Up With The Joneses." Timberlake seems really likely because he'll be promoting "Trolls."

 

I could see Felicity Jones for Rogue One

 

Fantastic. I'm kind of glad she didn't make the cast, as I assume her talents would have gone to waste.

 

I feel that way pretty much anytime someone doesn't get SNL then gets another gig

Incredible.

 

Mikey Day Has Reportedly Joined the ‘SNL’ Cast

David Blaine Street Magic is the funniest thing ever

 

We still don't know any hosts?

 

Not yet, gotta be soon though I think they usually start late September which is a couple of weeks, they were asking for host and guest suggestions on Twitter this week

 

I know it's a long shot but I would love to see Donald Glover host in support of Atlanta

 

That's cool, I didn't even know he was on the writing staff
