At ages 63 and 65, Elton John and Helen Mirren hardly fit the “rookie” label, but the two will make their debuts as hosts on NBC’s Saturday Night Live next month. John will host April 2 and be a musical guest along with Leon Russell. Oscar winner Mirren, who is promoting Arthur, will host April 9 with musical guest Foo Fighters.

Foo Fighters? Foo Fighters? Where’s my calendar? What year is this?
Hush fool.
Too bad they don’t have writers talented enough to do Dame Mirren justice.
I just hope that SNL doesn’t allow PC to take over for Elton.
If there was ever a flaming gay man needing a dress, he was it. Haw!
May I suggest a sketch pairing Elton with Toonces the Driving Cat?
Hey I’m just wondering, is there going to be a show on April 16 or April 23? Please tell me there is. I am planning to go to New York on one of those weeks and try for tickets for either one of those days. I don’t mind who the host is, as long as there’s a show. Anyone know?
