Hello All...Tonight SNL has hosting its show for the first time ever RuPaul! This is kinda hard to believe that it is RuPaul's first time ever hosting because RuPaul has been consistently popular in pop culture now since at least 1993???? I know by 1995 Ru was a gay icon because Ru popped up in "To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything Julie Newmar" which came out in 95--and you can bet Ru would not have been featured in a winking cameo in that movie if Ru wasn't already an iconic figure! (I mean the entire joke was that "Hey That's RuPaul!!!") (Indeed 1993 seems to be the year because in fall of '93--RuPaul actually made a cameo appearance on SNL--the one that Charles Barkley was the host and Nirvana was the musical guest on--Wow--doesn't get more 90s than that right?)
Musical guest Justin Bieber on the other hand hosted in February 2013, and was a musical guest on both that show that he hosted as well as one in April of 2010 (Oh Tina Fey was the host of that one) (He also apparently made a cameo appearance on an episode hosted by Will Ferrell in 2012)
Anyways I hope its a good one---I don't know that i'm gonna be home for it...but i hope its a good one.
The Vintage SNL that's airing tonight is the one from 1980 that Kirk Douglas hosted (which makes logical sense of course given that he just died) and Sam and Dave are the musical guest! (This is an episode that was first broadcast in February of 1980--and appears right smack in the middle of the show's 5th season making it an episode of the show with its original cast!) (For a second i had hoped we would get the rare rerun sighting of one from the early 80s but nope---which is probably just as well I guess)
ENJOY!!!!
