Funnier hosts, more Seth Meyers, less Kristen Wiig would boost show
Hot young hosts there mainly to plug failed movies? An utter dearth of great pop-culture parody? No more! See our sure-fire ways to help NBC's weekend staple raise its game.
Enough with the parade of sexy young startlets!
Buzzed-about twentysomethings with current projects to promote don't always make the best “SNL” hosts. Instead of a tepid Megan Fox or an abysmal January Jones, why not try Jane Lynch, who's massively popular on “Glee,” or Mo'Nique, star of sleeper hit “Precious?” Throw Nathan Fillion in there for some geek cred. It'd be less work for the writing staff, too, because these people are...(gasp) actually funny!
Leave the policy dissections to ‘The Daily Show’: ‘SNL’ needs to go wacky and use its imagination in covering politics.
The great political sketches in “SNL’s” history have rarely been biting commentary; instead, they've been goofy send-ups (Clinton, anyone?), silly prat-falls (Ford, duh), and over-the-top parodies (Bush, Bush, Gore, and — flashback time! — Ross Perot). Let “The Daily Show” take jabs at Fox News and CNN and bring SNL's political focus back toward energetic absurdity>>>
