Taylor Swift’s first promo for tomorrow’s Saturday Night Live alluded to Kanye West, but a couple more have popped up today, featuring the comparatively bite-size Kristen Wiig. All these promos sure do keep me wishing on a wishing star that Taylor Swift will be a good host tomorrow!
That second one offered shades of both Wiig’s recurring “Penelope” character and Single White Female, the combination of which would probably make for a pretty decent sketch. What do you want to see Taylor do tomorrow night? Leave your craziest sketch ideas in the comments (DON’T BE GROSS), and we’ll post the best ones on PopWatch tomorrow afternoon.

Short of Kanye himself showing up (and wouldn’t THAT be an incredible comeback given how low he’s been laying lately) I don’t see how they can make a (predictable) Kanye homage work.
I’m just talking about the logistics of the thing. Kenan Thompson is the only black male cast member – I guess he could be Kanye, if Kanye’s been sitting around his couch eating potato chips for the last few months.
Other than that, I agree that I saw shades of “Penelope” in the one promo, so I’d expect that.
Here are my ideas :
1. DO not let Kirsten Wiig on set – she stinks
2. Bring back Michaela Watkins – I loved Bitch Pleeze
3. Replace Taylor Swift with Renee Olstead – better singer by far
4. Showcase Bill Hader and Will Forte – the best comedians they have
5. Toss in a good Andy Sanberg short
I agree with most except for number 4 – I think Andy Sandberg is also one of their best, and Jason Sudeikis also has his moments. But good call on #3.
Ideas:
1. DONT let Kirsten Wiig on the show – she stinks
2. Bring back Michaela Watkins
3. Have Renee Olstead be the musical guest – far greater singer than Taylor Swift – its not even close
4. Showcase Bill Hader and Will Forte – the best comedians on the show
Sally, Sally, Sally, When the idiot apple falls off the tree please do not eat any more of them. Your ignorance is starting to show.
I would hate a Kanye skit. Too outdated already played out and predictable. Oh wait this is SNL there will def. be a Kanye skit and it will be all like Suprise. Suprise to noone. I’ll be more suprised if they dont do one pleasantly surprised.
I wish they would bring Kaitlin and Amy Poehler back.
I love that sketch! “Rick!…Rick!…Rick!”
OMG, TOTALLY!!! i hate that ALL of stupid kristin wiig’s character’s feel and seem like they are based on amy poehler’s kaitlin!!!! sooooo funny!
Gotta love NBC’s video player. Making you watch an ad before you can watch an ad.
What if they took two old ideas and made them into a new one? For instance, they could play Taylor up as Palin and Kanye as McCain. She would say, “Hey, you did a real good job, and I’ll let you finish your campaign, but in 2012, I’m going to be the best candidate ever!” It would fit in with the out-dated drivel SNL is pouring out these days, and it would actually be funny.
Weird…when I first glanced at that video still, I thought it was Taylor Swift and Emma Thompson 10 years ago!
Taylor Swift eats two cheeseburgers. That’s it. The whole sketch is just her eating the burgers. Maybe she’ll drink a strawberry milkshake, too? Could be a crazy night for SNL.
I’d like a sketch to show someone calling her out on her songs. Have you noticed all her songs are about how she wants a boy but can’t be with him? She’s Taylor Swift, I’m pretty sure she can be with whoever she wants.
hmmm… have you heard her songs?? Love Story, Mary’s Song…
agree – all of her songs are incredibly stupid – how she is the plain girl sitting on the bleachers wearing a t-shirt vs the ‘popular girl’ who is the cheer captain in short skirts. She is clearly good looking and would not have any trouble – heck she would probably BE the cheer captain in most schools
Sometimes the pretty girls DO get passed by.. and Taylor doesn’t seem the cheer-type.
Don’t you find it ironic that you call her songs, “incredibly stupid,” when your entry resembles the text message of an immature drop-out?
Obama bringing Taylor and Kanye together for a Beer Summit…meh…..sounds like something SNL would do, only it really wouldn’t be funny….PERFECT!
So is Taylor really tall or Kristin really short?
The former. Taylor told Jimmy Fallon that she’s 5′11″.
Yikes.
Hey now.. I’m a girl, and I’m 5′11″. Nothin’ wrong with it.
Kanye-related digital short:
Show pull quotes from articles/blogs about how outrageous Kanye was for ruining Taylor’s moment followed by a short mockumentary about how taylor’s life has been ruined by the incident. Shots of her being sad, being haunted by the single ladies dance wherever she goes (on tv displays in store windows etc.) Her friends are angry with her because she didn’t get to thank them in her speech. She calls a press conference saying she is retiring and can’t go on with her music career. Kanye steals the podium and says that Jay-Z’s retirement was the best of all time. The end.
just thought i’d say how ridiculous it is that i had to watch a commercial from an nbc sponsor in order to watch the promo for an nbc show.
on another note, i have high hopes for this SNL.
Miley look-a-like dressed in Taylor’s favorite look: the princess ball gown. Taylor dressed in Miley’s short-shorts and cowboy boots. Then they lip-sync their songs.
How about NOT putting Kristen Wiig in every sketch
Gotta have females somewhere, SNL dropped the others.. she’s like the only one left!
I TOTALLY agree. She’s waaaay overused this season.
Taylor and Bobby Moynihan as a young married couple from Maine in ‘Homosexual Activity’ She swears she has experienced gay-marriage related disturbances since she was a child. They set up a camera and every time a gay couple gets married she freaks out. The day before the referendum she kicks bobby out saying she hates families and has to marry a girl… then the results come in. “thank god. Our marriage is still safe.”
