Today’s buzz is about tonight’s show and a certain special host’s skit costumes. Yup, that right, darling Michael Phelps is hosting Saturday Night Live tonight, and the whole world is a-twitter.
Saturday Night Live cast member Kristen Wiig has been counting the minutes, or so she says until the NBC show returns this weekend. And I have been pretty darn excited about it myself.
"I'm excited to meet Michael Phelps!" she told people at the Toronto Film Festival. "He's gonna be naked in all the sketches I write, for sure." Or maybe just wearing a Wiig?
There was no chance of Michael Phelps being naked on Oprah or the VMAs but maybe SNL? The 23-year-old Phelps, our eight gold medal hero at the 2008 Summer Olympics, will have plenty of costume changes. Various news sources and bloggers have confirmed that Michael will be wearing very small speedos and is doing an AquaMan skit. I will be wildly disappointed if he doesn’t wear something wildly small.
And while Phelps may not have any acting experience, Wiig is sure he'll do just fine, and so are we. "I love having athletes there because they're trying something new," she explained. "It's fun to see someone that you have seen do so well in ... sport come on and do something they've never done before. It's very rewarding."
Wiig sounds very sweet. We hope she gets to work with a naked Michael Phelps. One thing is for sure, Michael Phelps on Saturday Night Live will give them a huge ratings bump. Hmmmm, just like the bump in Michael Phelps’ speedo!?
