Larry Hagman Never Hosted Saturday Night Live - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

To the best of my knowledge he has never hosted this show( I could be wrong, I dont watch it). That said, forget the talk about these other people hosting SNL, Hagman is the only candidate. I admit as much as I dislike SNL, if they got Hagman to host, I would watch.

^ I think you're right.

At first I was surprised at this revelation, but in the early days of SNL they didn't always feature the "flavor of the week" celeb like they do now; if they had, obviously Larry would have been chosen since Dallas was pretty hot until at least the mid Eighties.

I don't know if he'd want to do live TV; he's definitely his own man and he might balk at doing something new after all these years. But I agree, it's worth a shot and he's done a lot of comedy work in his life.

Nah lets just keep it Hagman for now.

Charlene's show was the infamous 1981 episode where Charles Rocket dropped the f-bomb live on the air during the "Who Shot Charles Rocket" sketch at the end of the show.

I don't think either of them would be funny or a good fit. Anyway, you know that tomorrow's show is the last show until October, right ?

Anybody would be an improvement over some of the players they have had on that show over the years.
