Two SNL bits

[yendi]

We still haven't watched this week's episode, but I've generally liked this season.

The hosts for December have been announced, and they're Jimmy Fallon (as has been previously mentioned, and even foretold in a skit in 1998), Steve Buscemi, and Katy Perry. Not kidding about that last one. And she's only the host, not the musical guest (that'd be Robyn).

Also, on the episode of The Dice Tower that I just listened to, Man Men actor Rich Sommer revealed that Jason Sudeikis regularly hosts Settlers of Catan game nights. Yay for more board game geeks in Hollywood (or the entertainment industry, at least).

Why would kate perry be the host but not the musical guest? She doesnt DO anything besides sing. It makes no sense.

Well, as a singer, she's pretty much a comic actress, anyway (especially without studio soundboard help). She can mug amusingly, and was decent on the one SNL skit she did a couple of years back. I suspect she'll be one of those hosts around whom skits are written, and won't be asked to do a ton. It's worked in the past (see Brian Williams, George Steinbrenner, etc). Also, she cannot be less funny than January Jones.
