Sure he can swim...
...but is Michael Phelps funny?
After 8 Olympic gold medals (including one that looked a hell of a lot like a silver medal to me), Phelps is NBC's official Olympics poster boy, and they aren't ready to let that go just yet. Hence, an invitation to host Saturday Night Live.
I have to say, my hopes aren't high. Athletes on SNL are a lot more miss than hit. For every Peyton Manning, who killed in his appearance, there have been many, many Nancy Kerrigans.

And in the 90s, classics with Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky, both so awkward it was funny. Gretzky had a funny skit that was a send-up of Elvis in "Blue Hawaii" where he was a waiter who could play hockey. It stands out because I find the sports figures are funnier in bits where they play themselves, like Michael Jordan getting encouragement from Stuart Smalley.
