Seth MacFarlane is going to host the season premiere of Saturday Night Live? Wow, that reminds me of the time I hosted Saturday Night Live back in the 70s…
[Cut to yellow-ish tinted shot of the SNL stage. The year is 1979. Don Pardo announces "... and your host, Danger Guerreeerrrrrrrooooo." I emerge from the door in a comically 70s leisure suit, holding a cigarette and a glass of scotch, and do that dumb "half-jog slash acknowledge the band" thing as I make my way to the front of the stage. I smile and wave to the crowd as they applaud wildly, patiently waiting a full minute for them to settle down so I can begin my monologue.]
“Thanks. It’s great to be here in NEW YORK CITY. [crowd goes wild again] We’ve got a great show for you tonight. Olivia Newton-John is h-”
[Bear leaps onto stage and mauls me for 45 uninterrupted seconds. Credits roll.]
Stay tuned for American Dad.

And the O/U on Big Band/Swing based skits has shot up infinity percent.
I’d make a joke about some recurring character changed for that setting, but I have no goddamned idea who is on the show anymore. Jay Pharoah conducts the band as Denzel maybe?
That’d certainly be at least as funny as anything they’ve had on the show in the last 5 or so years.
simpsons did it already…
geez, can you believe what a hack this guy is?

Eh, could be worse. He’ll probably do a decent job.
Fuck you, Patty.
Fuck you, Jacktion.
This will be like the time Loverboy tried to buy Faygo at the Circle K
I could see Seth McFarlane doing a pretty decent job. I’ll be watching, mostly just for Frank Ocean.
Let’s all just be relieved that it isn’t January Jones.
Fister, I love you. Let’s run away together.
“We have a great show for you tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Conway Twitty” *cuts to Conway Twitty songs that last entire episode*
At least American Dad is on after.
I always like it when a comedian goes onto the show. It’s usually good for 2-3 really good skits and one OK skit. So, bring on the randomness!
If there was ever a time to explore a day in the life of Stefon, perhaps this would be a good time to show what his nightlife is like.
I listened to Macfarlane on the Adam Corrolla show the other day. They just got drunk and told stories, and it was incredibly entertaining.
I hope he references some form of 80s pop culture. We can’t enough of that.
Seth McFarlane is a genius. Who else could remake the same show three times, have them all on the air at the same time, on the same day, and still have millions of people watching. I wish i could make easy money like that.
Joseph Gordon Leavitt Sept 22
Daniel Craig Oct 6
I assume Will Forte and some stupid athlete like Michaely Maroney will also host.
which one of those episodes will have a Romney or Obama “surprise” walk-on? I say Obama with McFarlane and Romney with Craig. O/U?
Danger, I absolutely remember that episode of SNL. How could I not? It’s on EVERY episode of Family Guy.
I’ll say it: I like Seth MacFarlane.
How dare you.
that you as a host thign was so funny!
