Ashton Kutcher hosts Saturday Night Live tonight. It will be his fourth time as host, this time with musical guest Them Crooked Vultures:
Kutcher has a pretty good SNL record; he tends to be a team player willing to tackle the sillier stuff without making it look as though it’s an affront to his dignity.
Question is, what topics do you think Kutcher and the cast can wring laughs from this week? I’ll go first: I’ll bet we get Kutcher in uniform as Tim Tebow within the first hour. Your suggestions welcome below.
Come back here later tonight for my full SNL recap.
I’d love for Armisen’s manic, random news comedian to do a short segment during Weekend Update covering nothing but Academy Awards noms.
Hmm… I skip that bit EVERY TIME now. Not remotely funny to me.
It’s not for everyone certainly. However it fits my absurdist humor completely and if the show needs anything (in my opinion) it’s more plain goofiness and absurdity. Topical bit are fine (although I’d rather the host deal with current issues in their monologue) but they often are just terrible (such as all of the Tiger Woods themed skits this season.
I think it’s pretty hilarious too Adam. What next,….
Love that Armisen bit!!
Thankfully I have a DVR,so I don’t have to waste an hour and a half watching SNL.I’ll fast forward through it tomorrow and be done in a half hour.This show has gotten very bad.
What’s up with these lame hosts doing SNL again. Can’t they find anyone new? And a funny female host? It’s been done before!
I’m ok with the thought of Ashton Kutcher but I agree they need a female host, I think Jane Lynch.
i second her. they can do a glee skit!
Yes! Jane Lynch!!
OMG LOVE her!!!!
“…tends to be a team player willing to tackle the sillier stuff without making it look as though it’s an affront to his dignity.”
Ashton Kutcher has dignity?
Worth DVRing for Them Crooked Vultures and Weekend Update. As far as the rest of it goes…I’ll give it a chance, but my finger will be on that fast forward button, just in case…
AND — his bday AND mine occurs 31 mins into the show! = )
I bet you were just SO excited to get that information out that. As if anyone but you and your mother care when your birthday is or which D-list celebrity you have the misfortune of sharing it with. I can just picture you typing away at your keyboard, mouth frothing as you envision the thousands of EW readers who are about to be privy to the fact that you share a birthday with ASHTON KUTCHER! At 31 minutes into the show tonight I’ll be eagerly awaiting Ashton to go off script for a moment to breathlessly proclaim to the world how he shares a birthday with that idiot from the EW comment section.
You’re a sad, sad, miserable little blackened stump of a human being. Go suck on a tailpipe and spare the world from the rest of your venomous existence. I promise, no one will miss you. No one.
Happy birthday to you! Tanti auguri!
Happy Day of Birth! I’m not you or your mother, but I care…
Oh and I thought Ashton did a great job last night.
Next Host for Saturday Night Live: Betty White!!! make it happen people, join the facebook page. We are trying to get more fans to that page then SNL has for theirs….Search it and join!!!!!!!!!
The word is “than.”
Is the pay good being a grammar cop? Do you get a badge? What about vacation time? No? THEN SHUT IT!!!!
Glad you got big lulz pointing out the shortcomings of others. I see it gave you such a thrill that you actually made your screenname “LOL”. My god your life must be fulfilling.
I wish my life were fulfilling. That way I could go from being nihilistic to narcissistic. What a 180 that would be!
I love how Pamela tries to make it look like LOL is the one who made a mistake.
@Nihilistic: how can you call out someone for “pointing out the shortcomings of others” when you did the same thing to the birthday person above? Hypocritical much?
The word is still “than.”
now THAT is funny.
Dave Grohl will break the record for most musical appearance Saturday night!!
Or not.
i like him as a host he’s young but then again he’s serious at what he does just like shia lebouf and jt i hope snl ask him to host a bunch of times.
Death by Chocolate!! And give it up haters, I know lots of people hate those sketches, but I think they are hilarious!!!
I think they’re bizarre and hilarious. I hope they do one tonight. Kutcher might not be great but he is wacky enough to do weird sketches.
Excited for Ashton. I would like to see Demi brought on for a sketch. Great thing about Ashton is he usually brings at least one guest appearance with him which is fun. I know it’s been done before but I like the Cougar talk show with him on it. I also expect a really great digital short tonight with him in it! A grammy sketch could be funny. Bring in someone to be Lady Gaga and he could do Elton John. Make it over the top and ridiculous. Or, a red carpet sketch where he plays Ryan Seacrest. A bit on American Idol auditions would be timely I suppose. Maybe he could do the a version of “pants on the ground”.
Well so far the only thing truly funny was the commercial for the prescription drug for threeways. The first two sketches could have been funny but weren’t really. The third sketch was annoying although I think Ashton committed to his character. Hoping for a great digital short because so far highly disappointing.
Me too I was hoping at least for a digital short tonight.
I got a good chuckle out of this article. Ashton Kutcher and dignity in the same sentence? I may never stop laughing.
WHAT……IS……BURN NOTICE?!
Haha love it.
Yes that was funny! The Hollywood Access sketch is sort of funny too!
oh my god this show BLOWS. what the hell happened this season. it used to be so good and as I sit here watching it I want to throw a rock at my tv and make it die.
They have 15 minutes left to come up with something f*cking funny.
Okay that was F*CKING funny.
