Ben Stiller, Foster the People Among Upcoming 'SNL' Guests
by Andy Neuenschwander
This past weekend, we saw Alec Baldwin set a record for hosting "Saturday Night Live." In October, we're going to see some new faces on the show!
NBC has announced the guest performers for the first two weeks of October. On October 8th, former cast member Ben Stiller will make his second appearance as a host, likely to hype his upcoming comedy "Tower Heist." Stiller will be joined by first-time "SNL" performers Foster the People, whose single "Pumped Up Kicks" has been a surprising (and ridiculously catchy) summer hit and is about to go double platinum.
October 15th will see the return of Anna Faris to the "SNL" stage as the actress takes on her second hosting gig. Faris will be appearing in the upcoming rom-com "What's Your Number," which co-stars "Captain America" star Chris Evans. Faris will be joined by musical guest Drake.
Not a bad lineup...but considering Baldwin just set that record and Steve Martin wanted to make sure it was "clean," shouldn't we be seeing Martin make another run at the "SNL" stage soon?
