'Saturday Night Live': Charles Barkley, Sigourney Weaver first 2010 hosts
Twitter
"Saturday Night Live" knows how to ring in the New Year -- with hosts Charles Barkley and Sigourney Weaver."SNL" is back on Jan. 9 with former NBA star Charles Barkley as the host. The "round mound of rebound" is known now for his great sense of humor in commercials and on the golf course.
This won't be his first time hosting, either -- Barkley hosted the 1993 season premiere of "SNL" with musical guest Nirvana. Joining Barkley for his second go-round is musical guest Alicia Keys, hopefully performing new songs from her album "The Element of Freedom," which dropped on Dec. 15.
For the Jan. 16 show, "Avatar" star Sigourney Weaver joins studio 8H, along with musical guest The Ting Tings, who are nominated for a Best New Artist Grammy.
We have two requests -- "SNL" star Kenan Thompson does a mean Charles Barkley impression so we'd like to see that, please. And if there isn't a Sigourney Weaver "Ghostbusters" sketch, we are going to be extremely upset. We don't care if they already covered it when she hosted in 1986 (thanks, Alert Commenter Gatekeeper) -- we'd like to see it again.

Can't wait for Siggy's appearance. Hasn't she done Broadway before? Hope so, it would help her live performance. She's pretty smart, though, she probably has the chops to pull it off.
Barkley should be good too, he's a funny guy.
This is not the first time Sigourney Weaver has hosted SNL. She did it in the '80s, right around when Aliens came out. The "Key Master" / "Gate Keeper" thing was covered then. Good stuff.
Can;'t wait. hopefully 20120 is the year SNL is funny again.is there anywhere to request SNL hosts? I'd love to see Kristin Chenoweth host SNL. and/ or sue lynch.
Does "anonymous" mean JANE Lynch? She would be great!
And SNL has been funny for 35 years, give or take a sketch or two -- and one or two seasons when they had that awful woman director. Mostly funny now.
If they would only get rid of GILLY, who is totally lame and nonsense!
Jane Lynch would be great, so I also add a vote for her. Who I really want to see host again is Norm MacDonald. Who cares if he doesn't have a new movie coming out, he's one of the funniest people on Earth.
I LOVE Gilly. Winki, you're a mo.
Charles Barkley is a drunk and a racisit
It will be great to watch Masters Golf Tournament - Monday Practice Round,i have bought tickets from TicketFront.com looking forward to it.
