Gwyneth Paltrow to Host 'SNL' This Week, Though You Wouldn't Know It from This Promo

One of the final stops on Gwyneth Paltrow's Country Strong Straight-Promote Express tour is hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend, but due to weather problems (or so they say) she couldn't make it from London (where she lives, because she's so country) to New York in time to film her promos. So here are Fred Armisen and Andy Samberg, doing part of her one-week job for her. Luckily, it's their full-time job, and they're good at it.

So here's a test to see whether you're a glass-half-full or glass-half-empty sort of person. When you read that Fred and Andy did the Paltrow promos, what did you think?

A) "Yes! Fred and Andy! They're so funny! Boy oh boy, I can't wait to watch these promos! This is perfect, because I hope the whole episode is full of the SNL cast and as little Gwyneth Paltrow as possible!"
B) "Well, clearly this week's SNL is going to suck, because either Gwyneth Paltrow couldn't be bothered to show up for rehearsals, or she's such a terrible host that they are afraid to even feature her in the promos."

I don't know which is right, but I'll be honestly shocked if option C ("Gwyneth is featured a lot, and is very well rehearsed and funny") comes out of left field on Saturday night. In any case: Will you be watching?
