Not so much a thread as an announcement.
Michael Phelps will host Saturday Night Live tomorrow (Sept. 13). I figured plenty of Masters swimmers that don't normally watch the show (and missed the ads) might want to tune in. I'm not sure if I want him to be tame enough for my 10-year-old son (Phelps phan!) to watch with me, or if I want him to be less tame and more funny!
It didn't seem that they gave him good material. The Swim Cop was kind of funny. The heads at NBC aren't happy with the new faill schedule so Swim Cop might not be a bad idea at this point. Amy Poehler playing his mom was ok but a little exaggerated. I think that this was a case of lame material, not lame host. The press will probably blame it on him and thus, try to keep him from getting other acting jobs if Phelps wants to pursue that avenue. OH well, at least, he has Vegas hotels fighting over him to stay at their hotels.
