Michael Phelps to Co-Host SNL with LiL Wayne
Golden Boy
Hoping to hold onto its golden boy just a bit longer, NBC has announced that eight-time Gold medalist Michael Phelps will host its 34th season premiere of “Saturday Night Live” Sept. 13.
While Phelps has been undeniably electrifying in the water, he’s been a little less so in interviews or public speaking. It will be interesting to see what they’ll get him to do.
Seems like one great lure to get him there – or a negotiating chip on Phelps’ part – is the musical act that will also be on during the season opener.
If Lil’ Wayne was the most likely thing on his iPod in Beijing, it’s fitting that the rapper will be musical guest of Phelps’ show-hosting gig.
Odd that he’ll be hosting a show that had been going 10 years before he was even born, though.
“SNL” won’t be his first high-profile entertainment gig on TV this fall. Phelps will also be a presenter at the MTV Video Music Awards show from Los Angeles Sept. 7.
Got your teeth cleaned Wayne?

Phelps might be a train wreck, but this is a must-see for sure. If the writers are smart, they will write L. W. into a sketch or two. Yeah, boy.
