Michael Phelps, the exciting and explosive US swimmer who captured 8 gold medals in the recent Olympic Games in Beijing, China hosted the premiere of Saturday Night Live this last Saturday. CNN described him as a “fish out of water”. I agree. Not much comic timing, stage presence, or skill in making the audience laugh. His skits ranged from jabs at his mom (w/ Amy Poehler) to jabs at himself (w/ Will Arnett), to jabs at the Yearning for Zion group that captured an international media circus earlier this year. I found the latter to be distasteful and distracting. Maybe some found it funny. I turned off the show before it ended as I was nodding off (always a bad sign) anyway. My advice to MP, hold what you got, hit the pool, weightroom, and masseuse and we’ll see you in four years. OK fine, we’ll see you on a wheaties box, but that’s it! Please give up TV while you’re still ahead!
