Having supplanted Tom Brady and Peyton Manning as the NFL's most-discussed player, Tim Tebow could soon follow the pigskin legends onto the hallowed stages of America's most popular late-night television sketch comedy show.
Saturday Night Live producers want Tebow to host the popular NBC show, according to HollywoodLife.com. The site reports that a source close to SNL says producers want the Broncos quarterback to be featured as soon as football season is over.
"SNL realizes it would be huge ratings and they are hoping he will say yes," HollywoodLife's source said. "Tim just can’t and won’t be able to do it while the season is still in play."
If Tebow accepts, it's a safe bet he wasn't all that offended by Saturday Night Live's sketch last weekend, which poked fun at his strong religious beliefs. Members of the Christian Right ripped the program for having Jason Sudeikis dress up as Jesus and enter the Broncos locker room to take credit for the team's recent success.
Tebow himself can take some credit for the success of 60 Minutes, which picked up big ratings over the weekend. With the Tebow-led Broncos loss to the Patriots drawing nearly 30 million viewers, the CBS News magazine program drew 18.5 million watchers -- its best Nielsen rating in almost two years, the USA Today reports.
Tebow has a great sense of humor ..Id love to see him as "the church lady 2.0"
