‘SNL': 40 Non-Entertainers Who Hosted Before Elon Musk, From Ralph Nader to Miskel Spillman (Photos)
“Saturday Night Live” has a long, long history of stunt casting people who aren’t actually entertainers. Even back in the 70s, they nabbed a guy who literally worked for the sitting President of the United States. So when you’re watching Elon Musk do… whatever it is they decide to do with him this weekend, remember he’s only the latest in a long, long line of hosts without an entertainment background.
