We're pretty sure EVERYBODY wants any sketch on Saturday Night Live to be funny, but that is the only way Mitt Romney is agreeing to making an appearance on the show.

Lorne Michaels reportedly extended an invitation for the Republican presidential candidate to host the show, but an interview with Diane Sawyer on Monday night revealed that Romney was clueless.

When asked about the possibility of hosting the show, or at least making a cameo of some sort, Romney replied:

President Obama proved his comedic chops last April during the White House Correspondents' Association annual dinner, but now Lorne Michaels is offering Mitt Romney the chance to do the same!

The Republican presidential candidate has reportedly been offered a guest spot on Saturday Night Live and "is considering it."

A recent New York Times article revealed that the sketch comedy show's staff was impressed when Romney appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman and delivered the Top Ten list.

An appearance on SNL to poke fun of his image would definitely help him gain traction with voters leaning toward the left who have a hard time relating to billionaires, but could he even handle a sketch? Who knows, but we would LOVE to watch and find out!

Do U want to see Mitt Romney host or even just appear on the show for one sketch?

Last week, tragedy struck Studio 8H!

Super sad reports claim the only one of the funniest people on SNL, Kristen Wiig, will NOT be returning to the show next season.

Obviously, this is going to be super hard on fans of the show — but Wiig seems to think that she will be the one most hurt by her absence from the cast. She explains:

Last night Stella McCartney hosted a private dinner to celebrate the launch of her new store on Greene Street in NYC.

The dinner included a Meat Free Monday menu specially curated by celebrity chef Mario Batali.

The evening was a celeb packed one, with some of the designer's biggest fans including Liv Tyler and Naomi Watts showing up for support.

Also in attendance was Anna Wintour, Jason Sudeikis, Lorne Michaels, Kristen Wiig, Seth Meyers, Stephanie Seymour, Elettra Wiedemann, Dylan Lauren, David Lauren and Lauren Bush.

We're loving Liv's outfit but as for Stella, we wish she would have worn a bit more color. She was supposed to be the main focus of the evening but she blended in too much.

Do it, Eddie! It'll be like pre-gaming for the Oscars! LOLz!

Eddie Murphy has NEVER hosted Saturday Night Live since he left the show on less-than-fantastic terms with creator Lorne Michaels in 1984.

Apparently, the drama heated up when
