Gabourey Sidibe Hosting SNL


In what should be a great episode, Saturday Night Live announced that Gabourey Sidibe will be the host very soon. According to E! there is no exact date, although there is a date set for Ryan Phillippe. Can someone please explain to me why Ryan Phillippe is hosting SNL? Yes, he will probably do a good job. That isn't the point. Lots of actors can do a good job. Lots can also do a bad job. Is he that big of a star where he should get the nod? Really? There was no one else bigger who was willing to do it? He isn't exactly a huge draw. Now, Gabourey Sidibe is someone people want to see. Will they still want to see her a few years from now? Maybe or maybe not, but for now they do and she will be fun to watch.

You know who needs to host SNL stat? Joel McHale. And Aziz Ansari.

Not to mention Jane Lynch!

Gabby will be great. I loved how she held nothing back and hit on randos on the red carpet. I'd love to hit the club with her.

I hope they write her some really good Howard Stern jokes *L* I think she'll do a great job!

I saw the old Lindsay Lohan SNL recently, and it made me sad. She used to be kind of cute, and the Debbie Downer with her in it was kind of funny. Now, sadness. Ryan Phillipe, though? Goodness sakes.

She's a great choice!

Is it too obvious to hope that they will do a "Shopping with Virginiaca?" sketch?

Gabi will be great. Looking forward to it. But what I'd like to know is why SNL doesn't just come out and say that they really only want White Frat Boys to host? Ryan Phillipe? And they gave Betty White a hard time?? Please.

Ryan Phillipe is hosting because he is in the new Macgruber movie which originated on SNL me thinks.

I hope she skewers Howard Stern in one of her skits.

Yay gaby! You go girl!

I love her skin BTW. As a pale ass white girl, I am SO envious of both the color and how clear it is. SO pretty!

Barton Fink said...

I may be the only woman on the planet who actually loves Ryan Phillippe.

Go Gabby! And to the person who mentioned Lindsay I agree. I miss the cute uprising star that was a pretty good actress.

I also think that is because of the MacGruber movie, otherwise he's not a big movie hit at least not like before

No, you're not Syko. It's just not fashionable to say so. Be a rebel. I like him too and can't wait for MacGruber to be released.
