Rolling Stone's list of the 20 worst hosts includes George Steinbrenner, Paris Hilton, Justin Bieber, Rudy Giuliani, January Jones, Lindsay Lohan, Andrew Dice Clay, Martin Lawrence and, of course, Donald Trump in his second hosting stint as a presidential candidate in 2015. "When NBC announced that the billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk would be hosting Saturday Night Live this week, the booking was met with righteous indignation from all corners of the internet, with some citing Musk’s controversial views on everything from Covid-19 to crypto-currency," says Noel Murray. "But for the show’s longtime fans, there’s an even bigger concern: Can Musk be funny? Or will this be another all-time SNL catastrophe? Throughout its 46 seasons, the legendary sketch-comedy show has had its share of dud hosts — with some performing so badly that longtime producer Lorne Michaels has buried their episodes deep, keeping them out of syndicated packages and off the web. Sometimes athletes or pop singers find it impossible to read jokes off a cue card. Sometimes a bigwig used to getting his way (like, y’know, Elon Musk) doesn’t want to play along with a bunch of snarky comedy writers. And sometimes there’s just bad mojo in the air — either because of what’s going on in the real world or because the host gets under the skin of SNL’s cast and crew."

I do remember seeing Nancy Kerrigan on Saturday Night live and I thought she was so wooden. A few weeks ago saw her on Antique Road show with Celebrities and after 25years years she has improved her stage presence.

Elon Musk was on the list of worst hosts before he ever hosted because he goes against the liberal political dogma. They don't think they have to be funny. They think they're there to 'educate' people. That's why the show sucks.
