If there’s one thing everyone in America has an opinion about, it’s who they think should host Saturday Night Live. You can’t get away from all the Facebook campaigns, especially now that one worked for Betty White. And what a success that episode was! It wasn’t long after Jane Lynch became a household name on Glee that the internet began buzzing that she should show up on the comedy show and voila! she is hosting in October.
So if Lorne Michaels was ever paying attention to viewers’ wishes, it’s now. Gay women, who do you want to see on that famous stage?
The Linster: Ellen D or Wanda Sykes, with Chely Wright and Jennifer Knapp as musical guests.
Dorothy Snarker: Meryl Streep. Period. Full stop.
Mia Jones: Actually, I’ve always wanted to host Saturday Night Live. In junior high I was voted “Most likely to be part of the SNL ensemble.” Since this will not be happening, I’d like to nominate Christina Hendricks for no other reason than to stare at her.
Heather Hogan: Sexy takes a human form in Sofia Vergara. But don’t be fooled: she may seem like your typical gorgeous, full-figured, Colombian sitcom star – but in reality, she’s so much more than that.
The woman could bring down studio 8H. I think she could even make me forget the time Betty White talked about her muffin.
Lesley Goldberg: If we can’t get AfterEllen favorites Bridget McManus and/or Fortune Feimster to host SNL, then my vote goes to Idina Menzel. I don’t think Glee fans got to see nearly enough of her during Season 1 and considering she’s a Broadway veteran and can walk that fine line between comedy and drama – see Wicked and Rent – she’d be a total natural.
Plus she undoubtedly could get Lea Michele on the stage for a more fitting duet than Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face.” Special bonus: She could double as the show’s musical guest!
Trish Bendix: When I think of someone I’d like to have host SNL, I think of who I’d like to see poke fun at themselves Therefore, I’d love to see Kristen Stewart give that a go. Is she too serious to mock her own pouts? Would she do a lesbianish skit, like the one by Ellen Page? Wouldn’t you just love to see her go all out and be comical for once?
Also, I’d love for her to invite Jodie Foster on as a guest star. Dreams!
Who is your dream SNL host?
