Sometimes it's the hosts people are skeptical about, who end up being pleasant surprises.

Pete Martell November 25, 2020 Share November 25, 2020 Wasn't expecting Wallen to be booked again so quickly. Not sure it's the best message, but hopefully he will be on better behavior. Jason Bateman last hosted in 2005 so I was surprised to see his name again. Twitter will be happy about Timothee. (I sort of hope John Mulaney pops in to reprise his old "my wife loves that son of a bitch" routine). Kristen hosting again after last season (if that counts, she has now hosted Thanksgiving, a finale, and Christmas - and an episode right before a finale) surprised me a little, but makes sense with Wonder Woman 1984. It also makes me wonder if one or all of Kate, Aidy and Cecily will be leaving, as she is the perfect host for that type of big goodbye for popular female cast members. 1 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/350-snl-in-the-media/page/30/#findComment-6470123

I still see her as the daughter on 227, even after all these years, so I'm looking forward to what she may do.

helenamonster January 23, 2021 Share January 23, 2021 Yeah I figured they'd make it up to John Krasinski eventually, but thought they would wait until A Quiet Place Part II got released, since that's what he was originally going to promote (current release date is now Apr. 23, though that can always get pushed back again). So excited for Dan Levy, I adore him. And it took me a confused minute to realize that Phoebe Bridgers and Phoebe Waller-Bridge are not the same person. Regina King is also awesome. Great winter lineup! 1 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/350-snl-in-the-media/page/30/#findComment-6563286
DollEyes January 24, 2021 Share January 24, 2021 (edited) I'm excited to about all three guest hosts, for different reasons. While I'm not a big fan of The Office, I am a John Krasinski fan, because of A Quiet Place, Some Good News and his version of "Proud Mary"(legs and all) on Lip Sync Battle. As for Dan Levy, he's amazing. Schitt's Creek is not only a modern sitcom classic, he was one of the few good things about Happiest Season. In his own way, Dan's just as funny as Eugene, if not even funnier. Fabulous doesn't even begin to describe Regina King. She's not only one of the few successful ex child stars who's still in the game-and a POC, at that-she's become an incredible Emmy and Oscar-winning actress and a brilliant director-before and after Watchmen. She was also on my wish list of potential SNL hosts, which is the cherry on top. Hopefully, Olivia Colman, Zendaya, Rege'-Jean Page, Oscar Isaac, Antony Starr and Pedro Pascal won't be far behind.

I still see her as the daughter on 227 I left a clip for you in the CoffeeTalk thread that I think you might like. It always made me smile. I've always liked Regina King. I feel like I kinda grew up with her watching her as Brenda on 227 and then watching her in films like Jerry Maguire through all her truck loads of Emmys and now her Oscar win. That said, I never expected her to host. It should be fun. I don't think it will happen, but man would I love a Jackee cameo so much. I miss her Sandra character. It's so odd that Krasinski never hosted when the Office was on. He seems like he was made for it. I'm one of those old fogies who has never seen Schitt's Creek. Nothing against it. It's just one of those things I never got around to so far. The whole Pop TV or whatever that network was probably didn't help.

It is very broad and predictable, reminds me of stuff like King of Queens and According to Jim. I like my comedy Arrested Development, at least the first three seasons of AD. I only know MG Kelley because of his tabloid romance with Megan Fox. I thought he was a DJ-type, didn't know he had actual songs. Will need to check them out. Krasinski should be a hit, very Chris Pratt-like. I don't know the other folks, but that happens a lot to me these days with SNL. Always good to meet new TV people.
