Actually, Saturday Night Live, as I have always perceived it, is more than just a show, but a cultural icon. To host it is actually an honor, bestowed on only the coolest of the cool (or at least the flavor of the month), and a sure sign that Jake G. is considered "on". Plus it gives the audience a chance to see such actors let their hair down and have fun. They also tend to host when they are promoting something, so I presume this coincides with the release of Zodiac. I sense that Heath L. will host when Batman comes out. It takes a lot of talent to do well on a live show; as much as I dislike Justin T-Lake, I have to say that his performance last week was pretty funny. I predict that Jake G. will do better, he seems like a natural funny dude.

OMG
I haven't watched Saturday Night Live for years
But I will be watching this one and I'm sure it will also be availble as a download the next morning too.
MMMM who should be the musical guest with Jake,
He will be so funny.
Can't wait.

Toastie,
The musical guest is already announced: a group called the Shins.
I don't know them, but several people at Chez Tremblay say they're good. Apparently they did the "Garden State" soundtrack.
Toast:
Thanks Paul
I think I have some Shins files
and I will make a point of hearing them soon.
and downloading more just as soon.
Just checked - they seem like a cool word-of-mouth group.
I have Garden State here somewhere - the one with the guy from Scrubs, right.
I'm sure Jake will be promoting the Zodiac thing, but there will surely be a Brokeback skit. I hope it makes a good point.

Now wouldnt it be great if Heath was a guest on Jake's show...........
Could we cope with that?????????????????
