John McCain Will Be On SNL Tonight.

John McCain will be returning to Saturday Night Live, the McCain campaign has confirmed. McCain was the featured host in 2002, and this will be the Senator’s second cameo appearance this year. It couldn’t come at a better time, for him, either. The November 1st show is airing just three days before election day and SNL has been a great way to get a little push in popularity this election.

Aides to the Republican presidential candidate said Friday that McCain will make a detour from battleground states to appear on “Saturday Night Live,” the late-night show that has been a must-watch for many during the political season.

McCain last appeared on “Saturday Night Live” in May, after clinching the nomination and while the Democratic primary continued. The 72-year-old Arizona senator joked about his age, saying: “I ask you, what should we be looking for in our next president? Certainly, someone who is very, very, very old.”

When McCain hosted “SNL” in 2002, he mocked singer Barbra Streisand’s political advocacy by performing a medley of her songs.

I cant decide if it’s going to be really awkward to watch or if he will do an alright job… guess i’ll have to wait and see- thats the good thing about tivo if it gets to uncomfortable to watch i can always fast forward!

I wonder how Ben Affleck feels about sharing the spotlight with the Republican Presidential hopeful- Affleck is a strong Obama supporter and has even hinted around to the fact that some day he might throw his hat in the political arena…. should be interesting.
