I am not going to defend SNL too much, but even the last couple of years, a
good host can give the show a fun (even when not funny) vibe. John Ham's
recent turn is a good example - the show was not always funny, but he was
always fun to watch, and is just below Justin Timberlake as a contemporary
go to SNL Host. OTOH, his Mad Men co-star January Jones, always fun to look
to look at, was excruiating to watch when she hosted SNL - just sucked the
life out of every skit she was in.

I would like to see Betty White do it - she's the best.
