The Not Ready for Prime Time Project: An SNL Retrospective

Bill Swerski's Tournament Talk: Best Non-5 Timer SNL Hosts

Two Pints Productions, Inc.

It's one of the most illustrious groups in entertainment. Highly selective, only 26 SNL hosts have gained admittance to the show's legendary 5-Timers Club in its 50-year history. But what about those who haven't been able to find their way into Saturday Night Live's most exclusive fraternity? Just because they haven't hosted five times doesn't mean they're not among the best, does it?

Bill Swerski is back with another all-star panel to look back at 50 years of SNL hosts and pick the very best who – for whatever reason – have not been able to crack that elusive 5th hosting gig. Together they'll discuss and debate the merits of some of the finest hosts to take the stage at 8H as they look to pick the Best Non-5 Timer Host.

They can't all be Hanks or Martin or Baldwin or Henry. Or…Hill? But they're good enough, they're smart enough, and doggone it – people like them. Join us as we try to pick the best of the best who never quite made it to comedy's most exclusive club.
