Gabourey Sidibe, Host SNL!

Gabourey Sidibe, the beloved star of Precious, will get a big career boost soon as she gets to host Saturday Night live!

The actress who quickly became a favorite after her debut in the heartbreaking and inspiring film by Lee Daniels, had never even done much acting before, but showed incredible gifts and presence, and is widely considered a breath of fresh air for Hollywood. And her many interview appearances have shown she is just as charming in real life as she was on the screen, and should have a great career ahead of her.

This will be Gabby's first shot at showing off her comedy chops, and we hope she passes the test with flying colors! I wonder if they will have a musical number with Samberg lined up. Just please don't do any skits that involve Kenan dressed in drag, please, enough already.
