Well, the host and musical guest for the season premiere for SNL has FINALLY been revealed, along with news on upcoming hosts and musical guests.

Oct. 1st:
Host - Steve Carell
Musical Guest - Kanye West (expect SNL to reference his "Bush hates black people" comment in some way, shape or form, since that's obviously the hip thing to do, making fun of someone when they're on the show.)

Oct. 8th:
Host - Jon Heder (Eek.)
Musical Guest - tba

Oct. 22nd
Host - Catherine Zeta-Jones
Musical Guest - Franz Ferdinand

Oct. 29th:
Host: Lance Armstrong
Musical Guest: Sheryl Crow

And... even if I do, I learned to dance over the summer, so I can pretend it's, like, some sort of dance singing thing. There's like, you know, a dance craze right now, you guyz!!"

... I am becoming more and more like Michael every day.

Well its possible shes doing it. I mean it would coincide perfectly with the upcoming release of her new album. She'd probably make fun of herself in some way.

I know, and SNL has an INCREDIBLE fascination in recent years with getting celebrities to make fun of themselves (which I found funny once, not twenty times in three seasons). Never say never, I guess.

I think it's mostly the celebrities PR consultants that influence the show to make fun of them. Kind of like "Ok, Britney will do the show -- and your ratings will go through the roof! -- on the conditions that..."
