    He can stand silent for the entire show and still be funnier than the two dopes who hosted last year.

    A press release photo of the newest Academy Awards host, Mr. White ...

    To get ready for the show, the host "watched lots of Dynasty" and "read a bunch of Hallmark cards". He also called out former host Chris Rock as "a silly negro".

    (Extremely underrated in the canon of greatest SNL moments)

    He could walk out, take a dump on the stage and it would be an improvement from what James Franco did this year.

    You know that piece had to, uh, inspire some later Chappelle bits.

    I think he needs to do the entire show in character as Mr. Randy Watson. Or maybe Reverend Brown.

    Reverend Brown was played by Arsenio Hall.

    Yeah, I'm an idiot. I just started thinking the good Reverend might be a better host. Is it too late to book Arsenio?

    He hasn't worked in years, save for a couple of VH-1 "I Love the 80s" episodes ...

    It should be Eddie and Charlie Murphy, now that'd I'd watch.

    You wonder how many kids think of George Carlin as the "Shining Time Station" guy?
