Fans confirm that Julia Louis-Dreyfus will host Saturday Night Live on May 13th with Paul Simon as musical guest, noting she would be a notable SNL alum to host the show.
I read on another board that Julia Louis-Dreyfus will be hosting "Saturday Night Live" on May 13th. I'm hoping someone can confirm this since my TV listings and the NBC site only announce the April 29th and May 6th hosts.
If it's true, Julia would be the first female SNL alum to host the show and only the second or third Ebersol-era alum to host since Lorne came back in 1985. (I know Martin Short has hosted, but I forget if Jim Belushi did.)
According to tvguide.com, she is hosting on May 13th with musical guest Paul Simon.

I wonder why they never had her (or anyone else in the cast) host during the show's run. I think Jerry hosted at least once though, right?

Jerry hosted twice; once, in 1992, when "Seinfeld" was running.
- Episode #25.1 (1999) TV Episode .... Host
- Episode #17.18 (1992) TV Episode .... HostJason hosted when "Seinfeld" was running. - Episode #18.17 (1993) TV Episode .... Host
Michael never did.
Julia never hosted but was part of the crew in the 80's.
Larry David, also never hosted, but was a SNL writer, actor in the 80's.

As you might know, David, and Richards were both cast members of 'Fridays' - which was 'the competitor' for a year or two.
Has ANY member of Fridays hosted??? Was anybody in both casts??
Could that be a reason?? I mean, why else wouldn't they have Melanie Chartoff host! :)

Rich Hall was.
As for the Larry David sketch which made it to air: it was later cut out when the 1984-85 episodes were re-edited during the writers strike.

Rich Hall. I don't remember him at all on Fridays... But, I barely remember the show... He was in that brilliant Superman sketch with Chris Reeve. Also loved his 'Doug Henning' :)
My mistake. He was only a writer on "Fridays."
Sounds like he is very bad luck. ;-)

Well... "writer" is a big word in this context. One skid made it to the air.
One skid!

Hey! I don't do "skids". I'm a prop comic.

Did one even make it?? In 'Live From New York', I'm pretty sure he said that one SKIT made it to dress, but is unsure it made it on air...

I kinda wondered that too, since I've seen Larry's "one skit" mentioned a few times in various places, but it's never once been accompanied by a clip - which I assume would be fairly easily obtainable for those DVD documentary extras given both were NBC shows. Perhaps it doesn't actually exist.
(And if it did make it to air, anyone know the details of the sketch?)
I'll have to pay closer attention to the SNL reruns on E!, I've never seen that one with Jason as host.

In article , egerrits[remove] @afpollution.com says...
His skit hit the skids?
Micahel Richards was also "Scheduled" to host on 3-12-94 but NBC execs thought it was a bad idea and Nancy Kerrigan hosted instead in one of the most painful to watch SNL episodes ever. However, the Farley ice skating bit was a bit funny.

OK, OK. I get it. Skit is spelled with a 't'.
I suppose it can't be a pallet of laughs?
