STEPHEN KING TO HOST SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE

Yes--It's true. It's finally here!

The famous horror novelist and Maine resident, Steven King, is set to host Saturday Night Live later this month. When the acclaimed writer was asked to host the show he said, "Absolutely! I can't wait!" He told reporters that he had been waiting a long time for the late night show to ask him to host, and had watched the show religiously since its genesis.

Details about the show are still tentative, but producer Lorne Michaels has said that they plan to make as few car accident jokes as possible, and to focus more on parodies of his novels. "I can't tell you much, but we were thinking of making the clown from "It" a flamboyant gay man," Michaels confessed. He added "We're still bouncing around ideas, but we're definitely going to make one of his characters a flamboyant gay man."

While many people wonder how the man often described as, "More frightening than all of his characters combined" will do on the comedy show, we here at Tits for Tat believe he will do a stand-up job!

Some of King's most famous novels include, Carrie, It, Christine, and The Shining. Several of his novels have also been made into movies directed by such famous authors as Stanley Kubrick and Brian de Palma.
