What’s the latest of Stan Lee’s amazing endeavors? A bid to guest host Saturday Night Live! Stan might not be personally going after the show, but a Facebook petition's already assembled more than 800 fans (as of writing) under this mission statement...
A FB petition might not have worked for Donald Glover's Spider-Man campaign, but it did work to get Betty White hosting SNL (as Splash Page points out) so this might not be as far out of the realm of possibility as you might think at first. I do know that if I close my eyes, I can easily picture Stan doing a monologue and showing up in a half-dozen skits. I suppose the only thing for him to do after this is guest-star in a My Chemical Romance music video.Stan Lee has been known to make many scene stealing cameos, appearing in both movies & TV shows, yet there is one show & one cameo he has yet to tackle, Saturday Night Live. Imagine Stan “The Man” Lee appearing on SNL, think of the possibilities.
To set the proper context, I’ve included all the screenshots of Stan’s cameos that the Facebook page is providing. Look at these and you’ll see appearances he's made in all the Marvel movies, as well as MALLRATS, THE BIG BANG THEORY, THE SIMPSONS and even his new super-anime, HERO MAN... == TEASER ==
Keep in mind, this isn’t even a comprehensive selection! There are still some cameos that’ve been left unaccounted for. Stan might not have gotten the Oscar for best cameo actor, but he needs to get some Guiness Book award for most energetic octogenarian or something. The man’s two years shy of his 90 birthday and he’s doing more than things with more energy and enthusiasm than men who’re a quarter ( let alone a half or a third) of his age.
