There’s a petition to get Deadpool to host Saturday Night Live and it’s going viral.
After years of frustration, Deadpool has conquered the box office despite cutting several major scenes from the movie in order to save money. And that must be a great feeling.
Now, fans of Deadpool have created a Change.org petition demanding an appearance from the world’s new favorite anti-hero and it has already garnered thousands of signatures.
The petition, made out to Ryan Reynolds, Saturday Night Live’s Lorne Michaels and NBC reads:
How would this not be hilarious having Deadpool in sketches, breaking the 4th wall, and inserting some of his brand of humor (obviously toned down a bit for network television)!?!?! I have not watched a full episode of SNL in years because I just haven’t been able to stomach an entire episode, but having Deadpool host, star, and be all over the episode would get the DVR set so I can watch it again and again!!! Not to mention, depending on the musical guest, how awesome would it be to have some Deadpool interpretive dancing while the musical guest was playing? There’s unlimited possibilities!!!
This would be unprecedented and crazy for the entertainment industry, especially considering the only host of SNL that was “in character” was Andrew Dice Clay in 1990. But that example doesn’t even compare to a super hero hosting Saturday Night Live. Not to mention a fictional character.
If you want to see Deadpool on Saturday Night Live, then you can sign the petition here.
