Brian Williams to host SNL

Just saw the promo. “I’m Brian Williams, and I’ll be hosting Saturday Night Live this week,” the NBC anchor said on the SNL set. “And if the threatened writers’ strike takes place, I’ll be hosting My Name is Earl.” Williams has a great sense of humor, so this will be a must-TiVo event.

“My family was anxious for me to do it,” Williams told the AP. “My bosses were anxious for me to do it,” he said. “But in the end, it’s ME doing it, and I worried that anyone might be confused between this and my day job. But I just don’t think there’s a chance of that.”
