Robsten Impersonated on SNL

Ryan Phillippe -- still best known as the former Mr. Reese Witherspoon -- was handed hosting duties of Saturday Night Live last night for some reason (apparently Carrot Top was busy?) and rolled out an impersonation of Twilight Saga star Robert Pattinson in a sketch entitled "Mort Mort Feingold: Accountant to the Stars."

The set-up finds Andy Samberg's elderly Feingold giving money advice to everyone from Kristen Wiig's Kate Gosselin and Jason Sudeikis' Mel Gibson to Phillippe's sulky, slouchy, sideburned Pattinson, sitting alongside one of the SNL cast members (Abby Elliott? Jenny Slate? Their separate identities still haven't cohered for me, sorry) as Kristen Stewart.

Not bad, for the most part (and certainly better than Ke$ha's train-wreck musical appearances), but the sight of Phillippe -- whose long string of hits range from 54 and Antitrust to Breach and Stop-Loss -- parodying megawatt Pattinson is a little discombobulating. Then again, with a few more Remember Mes and Little Asheses on his resume, R-Pattz might be hosting SNL and making fun of Justin Bieber any day now.

Why was Phillippe hosting SNL? For the very good reason that he's featured in the forthcoming MacGruber movie, alongside the title character played by SNL's Will Forte and the omnipresent Wiig. That doesn't open until May 21, of course, and little if any attention will be paid Phillippe once it does, but then Lorne Michaels has always had an odd relationship with the concept of synergy.

Robert Pattinson on SNL?

Saturday Night Live head honcho Lorne Michaels told OK! they’re still trying to get Robert Patttinson to play host!





























Back in April 2009, OK! asked Lorne if R-Pattz would be hosting SNL.

“Not this season,” he said at Natural Resources Defense Council 11th annual Forces For Nature benefit in NYC. “We’re all locked in with the hosts for this year.”

But he still held out hope for securing the vampire hottie in the future.

“Yeah, yeah, of course,” he said.

OK! NEWS: SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE WANTS YOU, ROBERT PATTINSON!

Unfortunately, not much has changed.

“We asked him this season,” Lorne told OK! Monday night at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Presents An Evening with Saturday Night Live in NYC. “And then he did Jimmy’s show and that went well for him..”

It sounds like Lorne might be more confident in Rob’s comedic skills after seeing him on Jimmy Fallon’s show!

Back in 2009, he was slightly skeptical if the Twilight star would make a good host.

“Don’t know,” Lorne said. “You never know.”

But now he hopes he’ll host soon.

“Yeah,” Lorne admitted.

While we thought R-Pattz was very funny on Jimmy’s show, would you even want to see him host SNL?

I hope RPattz agrees to SNL soon! He would be great!! :)
