My 2012-13 SNL Host Predictions

I was bored. So I did some charting. And that got me some SNL hosting statistics. I shared a lot of them on Twitter. (UPDATE: Here's my tweets about the stats) But it also led me to the average host breakdown for a season of SNL:

10 Actors

5 Actresses

1 Male Athlete

3 Comedians

1 Comedienne

1 Male Musician

1 Female Musician

I played around with that a bit, changing the athlete to female and making it 9 actors and 6 actresses. And here is what I came up with, based on who SNL likes, who is on NBC, who is in the news, and who has new tv shows, movies, or other stuff. In alphabetical order by first name:

Alec Baldwin- SNL regular, final season on 30 Rock

Anna Kendrick- Breakout young actress, a couple big movies coming out

Anne Hathaway- SNL favorite, coming off The Dark Knight Rises with Les Mis in the winter

Britney Spears- The X Factor

Claire Danes- Will sweep awards, Homeland season 2

Cobie Smulders- Coming off Avengers, HIMYM, fiance in SNL cast

James Franco- Does everything, Oz: The Great and Powerful

Jimmy Fallon- SNL alum, NBC's late night future

John Krasinski- Final season of The Office

Jon Hamm- SNL favorite

Justin Timberlake- SNL favorite

Kristen Wiig- SNL alum
