NEVER BURN BRIDGES. TODAY'S JUNIOR PRICK -- TOMORROW'S SENIOR PARTNER: This weekend, Sigourney Weaver will establish a new SNL record for longest gap between hosting appearances, it being twenty-three years and two months since her last time. (Good episode, too: debuts for Phil Hartman, Dana Carvey, Kevin Nealon, Victoria Jackson and Jan Hooks; skits included "Chopping Broccoli," Pathological Liar, Church Lady, Subliminal Man.)
So here's my question: given this chronological list of SNL hosts, who would you like to see come back and beat Weaver's record? It's unlikely that Eddie Murphy (12-15-84) will ever return, but why not Jeff Bridges, who last hosted (with his brother Beau) on February 26, 1983? Of course, if they could ever lure Jodie Foster back it might set an unbreakable record -- she last hosted on November 27, 1976.
