Who has never hosted SNL before that desperately needs to?
Oscar Isaac is hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend, which is pretty amazing because who needs a reason to look at Oscar Isaac AND he's somehow never hosted SNL before!
While the handsome Dune star has appeared on the show before as a celebrity guest on What's Up With That (oooooooooooh-eeeeeeeee) he's never been the host. This seems especially crazy considering he's been a bona fide movie star for the better part of the past decade and one of the internet's most beloved boyfriends.
This got me thinking: who else hasn't hosted SNL yet that absolutely should/should have by now? I know the moment has probably passed, but I gotta go with Brad Pitt. He was freakin' great playing Dr. Fauci in a cold open back in 2020 (in fact, it nabbed him an Emmy nomination) and we know the Oscar winner is hilarious (see: Burn After Reading).
Other surprising never-hosted stars include Meryl Streep, Will Smith, Julia Roberts, Chris Evans, Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. Who do you think needs to finally take the stage at Studio 8H?
I know that Conan was in the jacket sketch last weekend, but has he ever hosted?
This is hyper niche, but… Virgo Mortensen. He is droll and hilarious in LOTR’s behind the scenes features, and then there’s this interview quote, which I always die over:
Mindy Kaling has never! Idk how the universe let this happen.
I am SHOCKED that Sandra Bullock has never hosted. Less shocked about some of the others on that list, though. I've had a theory that Will Smith is one of the funniest least funny men on the planet, and I can't imagine how much control he'd require on SNL.
I would DIE for a Jennifer Coolidge episode. Same with Lauren Graham. I would also be very curious about what Leo would do. I don't know if I'd enjoy it, but I'd be curious.
