After 44 years as a late-night comedy staple, “Saturday Night Live” knows a thing or two about recruiting the right hosts (or not) to oversee a real-time event where anything can happen. Of course, they would do a sketch where a range of possible celebrity emcees throw their jokes and random thoughts into the ring to see what happens.

Roseanne Barr, Tiffany Haddish, Kayne West and Sarah Silverman also made pitches.
