My SNL Host Wish List

What has been going on with SNL this season? They are 0-3, wasting perfectly good hosts and trotting out tired, recycled stuff. The creativity just isn't keeping pace this year.

Despite the troubles of the show, hosting SNL is still the best evidence that a star is hot at the moment. Here are my thoughts about who should host this season:

Hot Right Now

Jim Parsons

Stephen Colbert

Joel McHale

Sharlto Copley

Seth MacFarlane


Funny Women

Julia Louis Dreyfus

Jane Lynch

Ellen DeGeneres

Amy Adams


Big Stars

Matt Damon

Sacha Baron Cohen

George Clooney

Brad Pitt

Robert Downey, Jr.


Young But Funny

Jesse Eisenberg

Ashton Kutcher

Seth Green

Michael Cera

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Taylor Kitsch

Rupert Grint


More Mature Hosts

Ed Asner

John Lithgow

Larry David

Bill Murray

Fred Willard

As Ryan Reynolds, Drew Barrymore, and Gerard Butler have already shown, though, having a good host still doesn't carry the show if the material isn't so hot. The cast is fine this season and the hosts have done well. The writing is really the weak spot right now.
