Five Awful SNL Hosts

Five Awful SNL Hosts

Surprised Steven Seagal didn't make that list. He did awful and from what I've heard the 90's cast said he was rough to work with. I remember reading something about him wanting to write his own sketches, and one of them being about a therapist who tries to rape a patient.

That Milton Berle thing makes me sick.

I'm surprised too. When Nicholas Cage hosted, he made a comment to Lorne during his neurotic monologue that Lorne must have thought Cage was the biggest jerk to ever host the show. Lorne said, "No, that would be Steven Seagal."

Straight from Lorne's own mouth, folks!

The other hosts wouldn't have worked as punchlines. If Lorne had said "Milton Berle" most of the audience would have thought the joke was that Berle ever actually hosted; if he had said "Louise Lasser" the joke would have been that Lasser was the name of a real person.

Chevy Chase might have worked but he is family. Paris Hilton probably hosted after the Cage monologue - she is the person I'm surprised wasn't on the list.

It's frequently very funny.

I'm planning on hitting up the standby line for most of the episodes this season (Cause I'm cool like that). So, if anyone want's to drop by and have all sorts of crazy fun while I'm confined to a 9 square foot living space for 15+ hours, feel free.

I'll most likely be bringing a video camera too...to capture all of my wacky line-sitting hijinks (and possibly some sketches improvised around the notion of the line). Seriously though, I'd love to have the chance to meet up with some fellow ASTers, and have them bring me food.

PS: I love Spaceships, Toddlers, Model T Cars, and Jars of Beer. Does anyone know who wrote it?

This guy has apparently auditioned for SNL.

Some of his impressions are pretty good (Ian McKellen, Christopher Lee, Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown from BTTF), some less so (his Christopher Walken is terrible). Check out his cartoon impressions too; he does Professor Farnsworth, Bender, and Kif relatively well.

I'm not sure they really need another impression guy, they've got Darrell and Bill Hader already. Although this guy does seem to be a better impressionist (in terms of accuracy) than either of them.

They should just hire his sideburns.

[erechoveraker]

His Stan Lee is pretty damn good. And timeless too!

[Ian Brill]

His Stan Lee is pretty damn good. And timeless too!

Finally, maybe SNL will gave us the great Stan Lee sketch we all so deserve!
