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!

    Phelps was OK--you could tell he was nervous. I liked him in the skit where he was the wierd cousin of the strange girl who likes to say "We" all the time. His worst skit, in my opinion, was the restaurant skit with the waiter who kept talking about the pepper smell. Granted, I completly agree that the material wasn't very good, but during that skit, he seriously stared at the teleprompter the entire time and barely looked at the actors. I also think they could have done more with the "Swim Cop" TV gag in the opening monologue. :dunno:
