Monday Morning Quarterback: SNL Season 35, Episode 3
That was a weird bit of trivia that Drew Barrymore laid on us Saturday night: Apparently, she is the woman who has hosted SNL the most number of times, passing Candice Bergen’s five with her latest appearance. This, naturally, got me looking over the SNL hosts info over at Wikipedia. You know who hasn’t hosted in awhile who should? John Goodman. Also Bill Murray.

She’s not really a comedienne by trade, yet isn’t much of a serious actor, either; one of her greatest skills as a movie actor is her ability, unmatched by any number of more accomplished famous actresses, to work on Adam Sandler’s wavelength as a believable love interest. Even in a funny movie like The Wedding Singer, her job isn’t really being funny.
