Plaza is way more famous for Parks & Rec than Scott Pilgrim.

My point is, LOU DIAMOND PHILLIPS SHOULD HAVE HOSTED SNL IN THE '80S

nobody is famous for parks and rec its a small show that americans think went big

Perhaps, but I would argue that Nick Offerman is 100% famous because of Parks and Rec.

Chris Pratt is famous because of Parks and Rec because I highly doubt he would've ever been handed the career that he wound up with if his public persona had always been what it is currently.

He's also in Severance, the huge Apple TV hit. And a million other things. Including "Madame Web"!

xps if you’d watched Severance like a normal person you’d know who that was. Haunted looking fella

Parks and Rec was not a super-mainstream "four-quadrant" hit, but it had a devoted fan base, or else it wouldn't have lasted seven seasons on NBC.
― jaymc, Monday, 4 March 2024 19:31 (two months ago) link
psychotic thinking that a national sitcom that lasted 7 seasons on a major network isn't popular
― kurt schwitterz, Monday, 4 March 2024 19:34 (two months ago) link
Curious how many people SNL approaches to host who say no. Mark Ruffalo recently told Marc Maron that he'd been asked at some point but turned it down because he's dyslexic, so reading cue cards terrifies him, and he doesn't memorize lines quickly either.
― jaymc, Monday, 4 March 2024 19:35 (two months ago) link
Also one of the guys behind R U Talkin' R.E.M. RE:ME?...
So he's definitely a lurker.

neither

I'm just checking whether it can be built up to, is all. Is this, just to check, you signing on to the line from unperson above that almost no-one is famous, or is it more "you lads are thrashing about in the side of the room that the elephant isn't in"?
Is Ken Early famous?

Gary Oldman initially accepted a hosting opportunity in 1992. After speaking with Malcolm McDowell, who told him horror stories about his 1989 episode, he backed out just before his week commitment was set to begin. I don’t blame him at all

xxp I've always gotten the impression that it's a lot of work, if you do it right. I've a little more respect for the people who really dive into it when they do host, like Tom Hanks (a bit player from Family Ties)

After speaking with Malcolm McDowell, who told him horror stories about his 1989 episode
The McDowell episode was the second one from the notorious SNL '80 season, and is considered a contender for The Worst Episode Ever (https://www.onesnladay.com/2018/11/27/november-22-1980-malcolm-mcdowell-captain-beefheart-the-magic-band-s6-e2/), but it's also notable for Captain Beefheart being the musical guest, and for being Eddie Murphy's first episode (as an extra -- he appeared on Weekend Update in the next ep, and officially joined the cast the next week).

deems, your definition of fame is basically 'this person is so inextricably woven into the cultural fabric that you are probably subconsciously aware of their existence even if you have been comatose for the entirety of their career', correct my math if it's off
― Great-Tasting Burger Perceptions (Old Lunch), Monday, 4 March 2024 20:51 (two months ago) link
SNL '80 is not great but it's not nearly as bad as everyone says. I'm particularly chagrined that Gail Matthius never got much of a break after that, she was v good.
― Great-Tasting Burger Perceptions (Old Lunch), Monday, 4 March 2024 20:54 (two months ago) link
Correct, I made a typo. McDowell was promoting Caligula, and that episode infamously makes light of domestic American terrorism
