The superstar athlete is tapped to host the season premiere of Saturday Night Live on September 13. Other athletes who have hosted SNL-- Peyton Manning, Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Nancy Kerrigan, Jonny Moseley, Wayne Gretzky, and Lebron James to name a few--have had mixed luck.(but this Manning "United Way" commercial is great). And the musical guest is Lil Wayne, one of Phelps's favorite musicians. People writes, "No word yet on whether he will be wearing a Speedo."

I recall Derek Jeter being pretty good. I think the worst was that olympic skiier they had in 2002. Don't remember the guy's name (Mosely?) but anyway, the episode stunk. Hard to say how much that was the host's fault.
phelps!
Manning's United Way commercial was very good, but it doesn't touch Michael Jordan's feminine hygiene products ad.
"Michael, do you ever get that not so fresh feeling?"
If only I could find a clip...
I will never get sick of this big dork. Rawr!
Any later than Sept 13 and most people will have forgotten who this guy is.
Didn't he sing with the Mamas and the Papas back in the sixties?

That cover shot makes Phelps look like he's wearing a red halter top. Does anyone else see that? Just for a split second??
@lanciano - I agree. Strangely feminine cover shot. Spitz's version was better.
That lil Wayne is ever the wordsmith.
who the hell is Lil Wayne?
I hope he's developed more charisma by then than is in evidence here.
Yeah, Phelps is pretty amazing as an athlete but he seems more wooden than John Kerry.
