Live From Beijing: Two weeks ago, when soliciting your help in casting Olympian Michael Phelps (thereby sparing him a terrible Hollywood future), we predicted of the athlete, “There’s bound to be an awkward SNL-hosting stint yet to come.” Today, TV Guide announced, “The Summer Olympics’ outstandingly golden boy, swimmer Michael Phelps, will dive into not-ready-for-primetime television as the guest host of Saturday Night Live’s 33rd season premiere.” Were we simply prescient, or is Lorne Michaels now culling ideas from the digital pages of Defamer? If Phelps appears in a Saved By The Bell skit, perhaps we’ll have our answer. [TV Guide]
