Saturday Night Live’s first show since the writer’s strike forced it from the air 16 weeks ago will feature Mike Huckabee in a guest appearance, the Republican candidate’s campaign announced Wednesday.
The former Arkansas governor is not expected to host this weekend’s SNL — that job is reserved for “30 Rock” star and former cast cast member Tina Fey.

I imagine he has a good chance at getting both of the votes of SNL viewers if he does this.
A Not Ready For Prime Time Player is perfect for the Hucksmeister.
I remember somebody predicting this in the last few days. He/she was right!
So? Is this a crime or something?
Just a crime against comedy :) Frankly, though, SNL has been committing crimes against comedy for years.
Now it’s come to this...I guess pandering to the Amway/Quixtar folks couldn’t get him the votes he needs to win the election...what a loser...
Aren’t his 15 minutes over yet?
I am not a Huck fan, but I am less of a Tina Fey fan. Huck would be a better guest that that unfunny, female liberal who ruined the show.
No kidding! I tuned in to SNL from Day 1 and thought the original cast were the funniest comedians around. But SNL went flat long, long ago. I watched the other night and found it extremely unfunny.
