I want to see Anthony Michael Hall return in the host spot … assuming he hasn’t been asked. Maybe he has and didn’t want to go back. But he has become a heck of an actor in the last dozen or so years and I am a big fan of his comedy chops. Jane Lynch even did a guest spot on his show “The Dead Zone”. I can see the parody now… ---

> [@Sampiro](#): > > Eddie Murphy was the first cast member ever to host, but has he ever returned to host? To answer your question, yes he did, right after \*Best Defense \* tanked and right before _Beverly Hills Cop_ premiered. He mentioned this in his monologue, while eating humble pie for leaving SNL to be an actor, only to ask if his old dressing room was still available.. ---

Here is my vote, now that this thread has been resurrected: Steven Slater, the flight attendant with cantaloupes for balls! Bring him on as the President of _Total Bastard Airlines_. Brings a whole new maening to Buhhhh-Bye! ---
