Live from New York, it’s ... Mitt Romney?

Saturday Night Live executive producer Lorne Michaels offered a guest spot to the Republican presidential candidate and he is "considering it," New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd reported.

He has already appeared on late-night shows, including “The Late Show with Jay Leno” and “Tonight Show with David Letterman.”

Okay, post the traditional comments such as "SNL hasn't been funny since the 70's", "SNL was never funny" :)

Mitt Romney is funniest when he’s pretending to be a conservative.

Likeability ratings. Socialist reptiles are not likable, no matter how much lipstick.

Agreed. SNL is 100% hard left liberal and not favorable to Romney. They will try to make him look as unlikeable as possible.

I remember when snl was “not ready for prime time”. Now it’s so mainstream, it’s how they tell you who you can vote for.

A mistake. One he doesn’t need me to tell him that will not turn out well.

A big mistake. These people are the enemy. They will destroy him. What are his people thinking?

“Live” would be a stretch for Romney.

Give him a skit or two where he plays himself. Don’t let him host the whole show. SNL is never funny when they let politicians or athletes host.
