Scarlett Johansson hosts Saturday Night Live again this week, and given the gravity of most of the movies I’ve seen her in lately, she looks as though she’s ready to take a break and be enthusiastically funny:
The musical guest is Arcade Fire, a top-tier choice; all bodes well for the night, doesn’t it?
Doesn’t it?
Please let me know what sort of sketches you think the writers will come up with for Johanssen, and what topics you predict SNL will tackle tonight.
Then come back to EW.com early tomorrow morning for my fresh, caffeine-laced review of the show.
Hopefully they’ll do another Porcelain Fountains ad.
I can pretty much guarantee that they will. And I can’t wait! “Lookit dis one… and dat one… and dis one! Whoa, who lives HERE? Must be da PRINCE OF ARABIA or somethin’!”
Hey, don’t listen to me.
Or chandeliaahhhhhhhs!
Or marhble callums
ScarJo was funny; Fred Armistan was NOT. Sad how silent the audience was overall last night. SNL is just terrible.
She’s hot. ‘Nuff said.
I’ve got a game: Let’s all pile on Kristen Wiig and how terrible she is! Oh wait, we always play that…
The article was about Scarlett. Why do you have to bring up Kristen, and in such a negative way? What did she ever do to you personally to hate her so much??????????
I think Mac was more so making a comment about how people always flood the comments section of an SNL article about how much they hate Kristen Wiig, and how those types of comments have become so completely redundant and obnoxious.
If there isn’t a new Miley Cyrus Talk Show… I will be severely disappointed.
That was awesome- best sketch of the last show!
completely agree!
The only reason to watch this episode of “SNL” is that Scarlett is smokin’ hot and Arcade Fire is the musical guest. Mostly because Arcade Fire is the musical guest.
Those are 2 pretty good reasons.
I am hoping for something involving Keenan Thompson. Maybe a new What up wit dat? or when he plays the lady that says “it’s so brootiful” ( totally drawing a blank on the name)
Virginiaca Hastings… Scarlett has played her daughter before… hope soo
The actual “serious actors” who appear on the show tend to do well, as opposed to the flavor-of-the-month starlets (of either gender).
Though there are exceptions: I’m working my way through Season 4, (the 1978-79 season, the very first “Wow, this cast is starting to get really tired of this” season), and their episode with Serious Actress Cicely Tyson was just plain painful to watch.
Oh my, Cicely Tyson did SNL? I can’t even begin to imagine what that was like though I can’t say the idea doesn’t pique my interest.
I’m waiting for the dozens of “the show hasn’t been funny in 20 years”. I’ve been watching the re-runs on VH1 from the early 2000′s with Tina Fey, Will Farrell, Jimmy Fallon, Darrell Hammond, etc and they are hilarious.
I’ve been watching them too, and they are hilarious. But everybody knows that, and people still watched SNL back then. It was water cooler talk.
Now everyone knows the show is terrible. So painfully unfunny. I’m not sure if it’s the writing or what, but why do they keep repeating sketches nobody wants to see? (like the Spanish talk show..)
Ryan Reynolds cameo?
oooo I hope so. Ryan Reynolds is so dreamy.
I’m glad that Scarlett Johansson is hosting today. I like seeing her humorous side. Btw, she is looking really good lately. That being said, I really hope that Kenan Thompson doesn’t do his stupid “what up wit dat?” sketch – it’s redundant and boring. I want a funny parody of Iron Man or something involving with Woody Allen. Also, Ryan Reynolds can stay home b/c he’s “grosso, disgusto” (in the word’s of Kelly Kapoor from The Office) and b/c he is always riding’ Scarlett’s train to get attention. He wouldn’t have a career if he wasn’t married to her.
First of all, Kelly Kapoor said “disgusto barfo,” not “grosso disgusto.” Second, how exactly does Ryan Reynolds ride Scarlett’s train to get attention? Is she the one who has been casting him in movies? Did she somehow nab the role of Green Lantern for him? Did she have to sleep with someone to get him a starring role in last year’s hit comedy The Proposal?
Seriously Reba, grow up.
Actually, I agree with her. I think that Ryan Reynolds is not that talented and that his career definitely did get a boost after he married her. Sure, she doesn’t get him the jobs, but I do think their marriage has allowed him to get some attention for roles in the past two years.
It’s not like she can carry a movie by herself, she’s not really A list. I highly doubt that she would have any influence over someone’s success in Hollywood.
April, that is very presumptuous. You have no foundation to assume that casting agents started paying more attention to him once he got married to her.
Ryan Reynolds wouldn’t have a career if he wasn’t married to Scarlett Johansson? That’s funny, because I’m pretty sure he had a career for several years even before he met her. Oh no, my mistake, that must have been someone else named Ryan Reynolds who looks identical to Scarlett’s husband. So then what happened to THAT Ryan Reynolds? Maybe Scarlett’s husband killed him and took his place.
He got a talented, hot wife, & lost his talent.
Scarlett will be GREAT !
On paper, this sounds like a winner. But…isn’t this combo a bit ill-timed? Wouldn’t it have made MUCH more sense to have them when the Iron-Man 2 DVD was coming out (especially since it would have been only a few weeks after the Arcade Fire’s latest came out)?
Will watch of course & please please please have a Miley Cyrus show sketch. They could have daddy Billy Ray go off similar to his rant earlier this week re his divorce.
Can’t wait to see Kristen Wiig host again! Oh wait, she’s not a host? She’s just overused? Ok then.
yup, someone above thought you might say that. really joe, who cares at this point? get over it.
Enough about Scarlett. What about Arcade Fire? They are the best band on the planet.
