Michael Phelps Probably Won't Be Funny on SNL

Michael Phelps

Winning 8 gold medals in a single Olympics has its perks, as Michael Phelps is learning. USMagazine:

Michael Phelps is continuing his dominance out of the water -- he'll host the season premiere of Saturday Night Live on September 13, NBC announced Wednesday.

Phelps, 23, will also be a guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Monday.

Last week, Phelps landed a book deal for his memoir, titled Built to Succeed.

"The bullying and adversity made him be stronger and work harder," his mom Debbie told Us Weekly.

"Michael may not have been able to focus in school, but I saw a passion for swimming at such a young age," she said. "He could be at a swim meet or practice for hours. It was a great outlet."

Way to subtly mention your son's a dumbass. "Michael was always a retard, so good thing his dad is that dolphin I had sex with in 1985."

It's virtually impossible that Phelps will be funny on SNL. I cheered him on through every race and love the guy, but he speaks like a 3rd grader that just ate Elmer's glue and peanut butter, then washed it down with Draino. They would be better off having He Kexin, the 10 year old Chinese gymnast, on the show. Her performance as a 16 year old made me horny.
