Amy is excellent on SNL. Unfortunately she can't carry a film even with the help of friends. But we are thankful to have her back,

Hasn't been the same since she left so it should be fantastic! I hope they bring back the skit where she is the 13 year old girl with her stepfather!

I'm a bit disappointed. For their premiere you'd think they'd get someone big. Amy would be fine as a host I suppose, but not for their premiere.

She sucks donkey dick. she was great on the Upright Citizens Brigade, but snl? not so much. she had the hillary impression, that was it.

Although they could have gotten someone a little more "magazine cover worthy", it will absolutely be worth the laughs and entertainment…… seriously…. potential to be insane belly aching hilarity with a little Katy candy as a chaser.

Sounds good to me. BTW, I'm sick of everyone living in the past. Grow up. SNL has stayed current and funny. If you really look back at some of the old seasons, they don't look all that funny, anymore. Some of their greatest moments have come out of the last few years. "Dick in a box", Sarah Palin, Barack Obama impression is perfect.

With possibly little to gain by following up on this, it may be awhile before any of them ever do, yet isn’t that just the point? How much would it raise the bar if they did? Is SNL more about taking chances or playing it safe? Easy enough to ask such a question from the outside, perhaps the only ones who could find a credible response are too busy to ponder such things.

Whoever the host might be, it’s just one show, one week, temporary impact. But what if a similar campaign were to add someone new to the writing staff? How much fun could that be? Not just anyone, a raving lunatic. Maybe not fresh out of the nut house, but somebody crazy enough to imagine there could be a chance in hell it would ever happen. Has the world gone crazy? Is there enough craziness out there to make a difference? Am I the only crazy one?

So if you ever thought SNL was becoming more of a lullaby than wake up call, all it would take is a little follow up to start tipping the scales away from complacency, towards chaos…
