Things are going pretty well in your career. You've got a television show, and you've got a movie coming up. You're hot and in demand. You've probably done a couple of magazine covers. But take my word for this: when Lorne Michaels comes calling, just say no. Don't host Saturday Night Live.
Right now, everything's going great. You get to show up on late night talk shows, and everyone fawns all over you. Why would you want to ruin all that by wading hip-deep into the unfunny morass of SNL? Do you want people to see your face and think of Jimmy Fallon and Horatio Sanz giggling at how bad they are at reading cue cards?
Seriously. You're allowed to say "no" to some of these things, you know.
