Looking at the cue cards is literally a part of SNL for all cast members.

[@lilysaenz5600]

It is part of the show but making it painfully obvious is well... painful to watch

[@ZhangtheGreat]

Sure, but a good host doesn't make it obvious they're reading the cue cards (unless of course it's part of the sketch to do so).

[@Danimal77]

You LITERALLY do not LITERALLY have to LITERALLY use the word LITERALLY in LITERALLY every sentence.

[@shaybrown7355]

Exactly. You’re not supposed to memorize your lines because they change stuff constantly. They could decide to cut a skit short in the middle of the show, so you HAVE TO watch the cards. Always.

[@danielstack4158]

I'd be sneaking a peak at the cue cards too if I only had a couple days to learn the lines. It is live TV.

[@itssharktime6560]

In Lohan's defense she was very uncomfortable with some of the sketches because they all made fun of her in some way, that's on SNL for making Lohan look bad.

[@edgaralanfrog]

I honest to god did not know there was cards until like a few years back, like maybe 6 or 7 years ago, I always thought the odd looking off and reading was only for hosts who couldn’t remember their lines and got cue cards. I just didn’t know it was an every show thing, I thought it was once in awhile. I get now that since the show is done in a week, no one is gonna remember their lines to multiple sketches in under a few days.

[@666Raco666]

Let's be honest,Zappa didn't gave a FUCK about being good host for SNL

[@thechief00]

he'd really be thrilled to hear that people thought he was a bad host because he was too weird lol

[@billslocum9819]

Zappa had everyone in the building rooting for him, which made his hosting gig's failure so shocking. He did the show earlier as a musical guest, got worked into a sketch about killer Christmas trees, and really seemed to enjoy himself and fit in. Apparently he was a lot more uncomfortable and defensive about getting stretched into doing multiple sketches, and maybe put off by the drug use that was in full force around many of the cast and writers.

[@dovegrey1]

I'm a huge Frank Zappa fan, but am not surprised he's on here. I was slightly amused by his antics, but also thought it was a bit cringe-worthy at times. He was known for keeping his musicians in line, and if one would have messed up like he did on the show, he would have fined them or let them go. I understand he didn't show up to read throughs, either. Too bad, he could be very funny so you'd think it would have been a great fit. The killer christmas tree bit from his shot as musical guest was pretty funny, though. I'm really amazed he's only number 19.

Everyone looks at the cue cards. Stop listing that as a reason why a host is bad.

[@vinyllpreviews9462]

If you ever heard Spade and Carvey on Fly on the Wall podcast. They basically say the only way to do the show is to read the cue cards, the writers change jokes, and dialog right up to going on air. The first time seeing the joke literally happens on air sometimes.

[@karaoconnoraliasraidra]

They also need to stop listing, “The episode had self-deprecating meta humor,” as a reason. How many sketches over the decades have had self-deprecating meta humor? It’s one thing if the execution is botched or if they rely on it too much, but simply having it isn’t bad in and of itself. One episode from the 1990s had Steve Martin do an opening number about how they weren’t “gonna phone it in tonight” and it was great.

[@reneebarrett3672]

But they don’t break the 4th wall and say they’re reading from the cue cards. That’s the difference.

Tom green was good.

[@fran8926]

Peyton Manning was one of the best host ever

[@SeasideDetective2]

And to be fair, "SNL" itself is pretty much crap too. At least, it was when I was watching. Jimmy Fallon and Horatio Sanz have to be some of the worst comedic actors I've ever seen. Both were notorious for "corpsing," or cracking up while in character when the script calls for the actor to be deadpan. Fallon in particular was notorious not only for smiling and spazzing at inappropriate times, but outright flubbing his lines and not even bothering to comb his hair before sketches so that he looked like he'd just woken up. Maybe that was deliberate; maybe Fallon was going for the "so-bad-it's-funny" effect. But to me, he always just looked sloppy.

[@ZhangtheGreat]

SNL isn't afraid to take a gamble, and it often pays off. Some non-actors have been acceptable to great as hosts. Peyton Manning was amazing, John McCain was decent, etc.

[@sigrid714]

Casey Affleck shouldn't be on this list. The Dunkin Donuts Massholes skit makes up for any of the bad skits in that episode.

[@anarchist_parable]

The gay robot was kind of funny too

[@Paulafan5]

A terrible choice on the list.

[@axelkyster2642]

Agreed. Affleck was very smooth and very comfortable. The Dunkin' film was VERY funny...granted it wasn't a live piece. But he was also terrific in "Christmas Miracle" when he, Cecily, and Kate's characters were transported to the North Pole.... Yeah, those sketches are really mostly Kate, but it's Cecily and guest star (in this case, Affleck) who have the more subtle part to play that also brings out the absurd humor.

[@YellingAtBirds]

[@krogdog]

Lorne Michaels said Steven Seagal was the biggest jerk who ever hosted the show during Nicolas Cage’s monologue when he hosted a couple years later.

[@bigbearkat2010]

The weird thing about Lindsay Lohan was back during one of her earlier mid 2000s hosting gigs just when she started making tabloid covers for her partying, the opening monologue sketch has her being visited by a future version of herself that ruined her career through bad movie choices (the prediction was Mean Girls 2, a bunch of Lifetime movies and Skinemax so all things considered they weren't that far off) and partying too hard. Lindsay assuming this was a far off version of herself asks how things are 30 years in the future, future version says she doesn't know, she's only from 2007. So really by 2012 they should've known better.

*FUN FACT:* Louise Lasser was arrested with cocaine in her purse in the spring of 1976 (her SNL hosting gig would be in July). Why in gawd's name did anyone think she would make a good SNL host?!

[@GrahamCStrouse]

Getting arrested for cocaine possession in the ‘70s was kind of par for the course…

[@joseburgos9020]

Sort of a lazy job on watchmojo's part to pick on people who get invited by SNL who are not known for their comedic talents (especially on a live sketch show) and then tearing them apart for not being good. I agree with the list but why pick on them?

[@luisenriquedelapena1046]

I don't know whether you have already made a video about it, but I'd like to see a Top 10 athletes who were great SNL hosts like Peyton Manning or Dwayne Johnson, or Top 10 athletes who became good actors or comedians. Happy New Year to everyone in the staff.

[@zapkvr]

Orenthal James

[@DrugzMunny]

There's some weird haterism in this list. MC Hammer was a bad host because he referred to himself in the third person? Drugz Munny thinks that's a ridiculous argument.

[@DryBones271]

The Rock is clearly an athlete, Wrestling IS Athletics after all, and the guy is pretty damned funny.

[@annafowdy]

That stuff is real?

[@tcrpgfan]

@@annafowdy No, but it does require some physicality and the knowledge of how to land properly when doing the higher-flying moves. While a lot of wrasslin is scripted. Injury and death from mistimed manouvers are still a very real possibility in that industry. RIP Owen Hart.

[@breezingby2611]

It’s still all performances though You do need to be quite well built to do it, but you also need have stage presence and charisma The Rock was a performer long before he was an actor

[@justinharris2320]

Peyton Manning was one of their best guests too

[@joermnyc]

@@annafowdy it’s basically like a live stunt show, but you have to sell it as real.

[@Shorty_Lickens]

Allegedly everyone on the cast hated Milton Berle. And the audience was not impressed at all. I dont know why they had him at all other than he's famous. His comedy style was at least 20 years out of date. He wasnt hip and new which is pretty much the whole point of of SNL.

[@lenevee4925]

Belushi actually looked a little peeved at Chuck in those sketches.

[@jennyn5692]

Wow, I watched a lot of SNL in the 80s and 90s and don't recall that Steven Seagal episode at all. Maybe it was so bad that I blocked it from my memory. I do, however, remember that Nancy Kerrigan episode. As soon as I saw the title of this video, I thought, "Nancy Kerrigan HAS to be number one." A mannequin could have delivered her lines with more emotion. That skit with her and Chris Farley was gold, though. 😂

[@tomryan914]

Really pretty though!

[@jimhyman8544]

"Few people found him (Charles Grodin) funny or enjoyable." I've been saying that for years.

I predicted Rhonda being on SNL. And I said: "She's not a comedian, she's a fighter. Give her something to hit!" And...she wasn't a hit. SNL didn't know what to do with her, and neither does the WWE.

[@darrenwillett8536]

Frank Zappa was just showing the world what a fraud "edgy" SNL was even back in the late 70's. He wasn't a bad host, he was ahead of his time.

Alot of these people aren't actors or comedians. Are you surprised at the results when you literally throw people into the fire and expect them to survive 🤔

YEEEEES! Nancy Kerrigan made the cut!!! I KNEW IT! In her defense though...she isnt an actress...

[@oldkitten8598]

With new information that has come to light about Paris Hilton and Justin Bieber during the times when they hosted -- Paris' sexual abuse at that boarding school; the unrealistic pressures and expectations Bieber experienced at a young age -- it may be worth considering their respective mental states. Never heard of Louise Lasser before this, but that just sounded all kinds of sad.

[@GenerationNextNextNext]

To add, Lindsay Lohan's parents were abusive and going through divorce among other things like stealing her money. But no one likes to talk about people's mental states. They get a kick out of kicking the sick down.

[@Fixxer315]

Before watching, I'd say Howard Cosell and Milton Berle will likely be on this list, with John Travolta also being a strong possibility.

You didn't really show enough of the cast to make your points

[@COMPFUNK2]

After Paris Hilton hosted in 2005, I guess Lorne got the hint that people who are famous for being famous aren’t the best hosts-what? Kim Kardashian hosted in 2021? Oh, I guess he _didn’t_ get the hint.

[@WTFPr0m]

PSA: The Grodin episode was like that on purpose. The cast were in on it. Like, there was a pre-written "backstage" sketch where the cast were "mad" at Grodin for not rehearsing. And that's all common knowledge. Completely missing the obvious joke... Super lazy, even by WatchMojo standards.

[@michaelugwueke6312]

They should do a top 20 surprisingly good Snl hosts

[@jeffprobstwillcastmesomeda8381]

Justin Bieber had better be #1. His episode was just bad no matter how great the castmates tried to make him look good. He's A GREAT MUSICIAN, but just please stay in the music industry! I mean, musicians hosting is common in SNL but he just don't belong. :)
