Let's start a Facebook group for another SNL host. Or maybe a DU Forum.
It worked to get Betty White on SNL as a host, so who should we lobby for?

Gilbert Gottfried and Carrot Top seem like obvious choices, but maybe we should go a little more unconventional. Sanjaya, maybe?

Come, give some suggestions.

2. Dude: Geddy Lee or Alex Lifeson
They are both pretty funny. What is WRONG with you for missing that? Then of course they could also be the musical guest. Sheesh..:spank:

3. I think it should be me! Vote for Rabrrrrrr as host of SNL!
With special musical guests, Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir doing the music of Penderecki.

8. Lorne Michaels is rolling over in his grave right now.
Which is really freaky considering he's still mostly alive.

22. My wife sat next to him on a flight several years ago.
She said he was "corny" but nice.

At one point he said "Wanna see my pride and joy?"
Sure.
He showed her this card:


Yuck, yuck yuck.
:-)

26. Abe Vigoda AND Betty White
Those two would be great together.

For something different, has Mel Brooks ever done SNL?

18. What's with the snide, underhanded disdain for the work of Mr. Gilbert Gottfried?
The man embodies pure genius. He commits 100% to every role and brings passion and a joie de vivre to everything he does.

25. William Fucking Shatner.
.
Yeah, I know -- but it's been 24 years.
.
I'd like to see him do a sequel to the "Get A Life" skit.
.
I'd REALLY like to see him co-host with James Spader.
.
Have they EVER had co-hosts?
.

27. Co-hosts
Yes, they have had them. In the first season Simon & Garfunkel co-hosted. There've been others since, but you'd have to check Wikipedia for the names.

28. I thought of them -- weren't they also the musical guests?
.
Was that the Thanksgiving show where Paul Simon
came out dressed as a giant turkey singing, "Still
Crazy After All These Years" and stopped halfway
through as part of the shtick?
.
