There are two kinds of people in this world: people who dream of being on Saturday Night Live and people who’d rather host. If you aren’t a sketch comedy die hard, you’ve probably fantasized about dropping by to promote a movie and trying not to break while Kate McKinnon does something hilarious and above all else, having the comedy written for you. So, the pressure’s off there! But, being a host is actually a lot of hard work. Ever think about what having a whole hour and a half of live television centered around you might be like?
Well, try not to sweat it. We’ll walk you through this nice and easy. You tell us exactly what you’d like to do as a host and we’ll tell you who your musical guest is destined to be. We have to pick the right band or artist to compliment your hosting style, so what’ll it be? Something mellow and relaxed or is this going to be another Kanye dressed as a bottle of Perrier situation? That’s entirely up to you!
