And Your Next Three SNL Hosts Are...

snlhosts092711.jpg

Since Alec Baldwin can't host Saturday Night Live forever, and Radiohead can't always be the musical guest, it's time to move on. This week it was announced that Ben Stiller will be hosting on October 8th, with musical guest Foster The People. And following his stint, on October 15th, Anna Faris and Drake will be taking over the studio. Stiller was a cast member in the 80s, and hosted last in 1998; Faris hosted one other time, in 2008.

EW is hoping that Stiller will get his Tower Heist co-star Eddie Murphy back to studio 8H for a cameo.

This weekend, Melissa McCarthy (who just won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series) will be at the helm, with Lady Antebellum providing the tunes. This marks McCarthy's debut on the show—what other first timers should SNL be handing hosting duties over to?

  • Quick question -- I entered the SNL ticket lottery for the first time back in August. Would I know by now if I won tickets for any upcoming show or is pretty much "better luck next season" by now?

    Also Kyle Chandler seems like he'd be a great straight-man.

  • jza1218

    Zooey Deschanel

  • masterjarvis

  • RobertMosesSupposesErroneously

    I'va always wanted a Tom Waits appearance as host AND musician!

  • robingee

    Anna Faris is insanely hot.

  • C'mon... James Spader

  • robingee

    ooh, that would be cool!

  • Caffiend

    Only because he's only done it twice, I would love to see Eddie Murphy do it, but first timers.... Al Franken, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Kat Dennings and Rashida Jones all top my list.

  • Bono and Edge - imagine the Spiderman jokes!

  • HughGass

    can't wait to see anna farris' new tits

  • She's had those things in since at least The House Bunny.

  • Anna Netrebko, please!

  • My one true hope is that there is a Gilmore Girls sketch for McCarthy.  Ohhhhh I do like me some Gilmore Girls.

    Also, I still can't believe "Lady Antebellum" is a real band.  I feel like-- fake.  Spoof band.  Parody name.
