Saturday Night Live Is About to See a Huge Ratings Spike

September 11th, 2008 by Evil Beet


Not only will Michael “Size 14″ Phelps be appearing on SNL this weekend — he’ll be wearing a Speedo. So, ya know, SNL’s ratings will see a huge bump, much like that Speedo.

Phelps, who won a record eight gold medals, began reading through skits with the cast Wednesday night, and it’s already clear his wardrobe will be kept to a minimum, with parodies of his Olympics moments, his skimpy Speedos, his emotional mom in the stands – and even Phelps as Aquaman.

“There’s some really, really funny skits – anything you can imagine, they nailed just about every topic,” Phelps says.

And Michael Phelps knows all about nailing things.

I’ll be out of town this weekend, but you’d better believe I’ll be DVRing this. Yes, all the good skits will be on YouTube anyway, but I don’t want to miss a second of Phelpsy’s hot body. SNL’s gonna see ratings like they haven’t seen since the ’80s.

    i saw the preview ad for his episode and unless they keep his speaking parts to sporadic sentences, it’s really not going to be good.

    Since when does SNL have any good skits? That show has sucked for the last 6 or 7 years. These days they seem to be trying to make each show suck more than the last.

    If they had any balls they’d write Phelps into sketch focusing on a horse like goblin monster. He’d be able to nail that role since he lives it every day.

    Wait.. aren’t his 15 minutes up yet?

    one of the few guys that can wear low waist whatevers,
    or maybe should wear them, all the time
    for the next years to come, at least
    as sloppy as it can be

    everything is fine with me but I really don’t get that super tiny speedo he’s in. How come they allow them to swim in this? What if it slides down a bit?

    You prudish young people are pathetic. In the 70s & 80s we loved to show our bodies. I still sport speedos when I go to the beach and laugh at you look alike dullards in your surfing pants.
