Throughout Saturday Night Live's entire existence, we have seen plenty of popular people host the show. Whether they are comedians, politicians, actors, models or musicians, someone has graced the show with their presence.
There's one thing that hasn't appeared on the show, a superhero. Everyone always hosts the show as themselves, never a character, but fans are petitioning for Ryan Reynolds to host an episode of SNL, except they don't want him showing up as himself… They want Deadpool.
A petition on Change.org has gained over 50,000 signatures since it went live. Why the call to have Deadpool host SNL? Well, here's what the petition creator thinks:
"How would this not be hilarious having Deadpool in sketches, breaking the 4th wall, and inserting some of his brand of humor (obviously toned down a bit for network television)!?!?! I have not watched a full episode of SNL in years because I just haven't been able to stomach an entire episode, but having Deadpool host, star, and be all over the episode would get the DVR set so I can watch it again and again!!! Not to mention, depending on the musical guest, how awesome would it be to have some Deadpool interpretive dancing while the musical guest was playing? There's unlimited possibilities!!!"
Whether you agree with the petition creator's thoughts on the subject or not, Deadpool would be pretty entertaining to have on SNL. Unfortunately, he'd have to be extremely censored.
