According to Examiner.com, GENERAL HOSPITAL guest star James Franco will be hosting the December 19th episode of NBC's SATURDAY NIGHT LIGHT, the last episode to air before Christmas. This is the first time I can remember an actor hosting the show while currently appearing on a daytime soap. But will SNL use this as an opportunity to ridicule Franco's appearance on GENERAL HOSPITAL and mock the entire genre as a whole? Will you watch?
UPDATE:
I've been reminded of Susan Lucci's memorable SNL appearance in 1990. Thanks, readers!
Didn't Susan Lucci host SNL while concurrently appearing on AMC? I seem to recall some classic in-the-chapel mock soap scene.
ReplyDeleteAh, MarkH, you are brilliant and accurate as ever! You are right, Susan Lucci hosted in October, 1990! Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteALL MY LUGGAGE is classic SNL... is it on Youtube?
ReplyDeleteI don't mind making fun of the soaps, as long as it is in good fun
ReplyDeleteThis is his 2nd time hosting. Not bad for a young actor.
Yeas, I will watch
Of course, SNL will mock any and everything!
ReplyDeleteDid anyone else notice that Franco finally opened his eyes?
All My Luggage, eh?
