Mick Jagger, 'SNL': Stones Singer to Host, Perform on Season Finale

NEW YORK - Mick Jagger will test his comic chops later this month as host of the "Saturday Night Live" season finale.

The Rolling Stones frontman has been a musical guest twice before on the long-running NBC show, and the network said Thursday he will perform musically on the May 19 finale. But he has never been host before, a job that usually requires participation in several comic skits.

The Rolling Stones mark their 50th anniversary as a band this year, but have yet to announce any activities to commemorate the occasion.

Jagger last year put out a disc as part of a group called SuperHeavy, which also included reggae singer Damian Marley and former Eurythmics founder Dave Stewart.

Last time I watched SNL was when Betty White was on. The show has gone down into the crapper after that. Need to fire everyone and start over new again. Writers,producers, and acotrs. And I mean fire everyone. Get Abe Vigoda, Don Rickles, Ernest Borgnine, Ed Asner, and Betty White on the same show co-hosting it would be a very high rated watched episode.

both mick and keith richards did a great job voicing themselves on the Simpsons, a few years back. This of course, is a little different but still...
