11.07.09 STEEL YOURSELF FOR KANYE JOKES

Taylor Swift will host tonight’s episode of “Saturday Night Live,” and before it airs I’d like to put out a call to see if anyone knows a good bookie. I need to get odds on Kanye West making a special appearance to jokingly interrupt Swift’s monologue. It feels like money in the bank to me. In fact, if the only “Kanye” they can muster for the show is Kenan Thompson in Louis Vuitton shades, I’ll be immensely disappointed. I just don’t think they’d make non-actress Swift the host without some kind of plan to incorporate Kanye into a skit.

Of course, I’ve been wrong before, as the countless strike-throughs on this blog can attest, so feel free to heckle me in the comments section when it turns out that Kanye’s in a Buddhist monastery in Kashmir. Otherwise, consider this your open thread to discuss the episode. I’ll be back tomorrow afternoon with a “What’s On Tonight” and Monday morning with highlights from “SNL.” Until then, sláinte!
