I have mixed feeling about this.
Let's face it. SNL has just downright sucked these last few years. They should quit while they are behind.
I have doubts that even Aaron could make one show be good, but hopefully he could pull it off.
Yeah, I would tune in of course but if it starts to be unfunny I would have no problem leaving or turning it off.
Aw, who am I kidding? I'd probably end up watching the whole damn thing hoping not to miss if there is a big laugh coming later on.
Too bad there isn't a better comedy/variety/skit show he could appear on instead.
I miss Carol Burnett.
We need shows and talent like hers back. Not all this reality show crap.
I wonder how serious this is.
He said he bumped into a few cast members (who don't really have any pull), and he didn't really specify if he would host or just make a drop-in cameo.
I say that because in SNL's 37-year history only 4 quarterbacks have hosted the show (Joe Montana with co-host Walter Payton in 1986, Peyton Manning in 2007, Fran Tarkenton in 1977 and Tom Brady in 2004.)
Brady and Peyton hosted after Super Bowl victories.
The logical choice would be to have Eli host after becoming the toast of New York yet again.
To me, it seems like a longshot or wishful thinking because Aaron talked about wanting to host SNL on his previous podcast.
