Over the years working at Saturday Night Live, people often asked me who my favorite hosts were and without hesitation I’ve always said the professional athletes. (Derek Jeter to name one.) And I think it is because of the incredibly calm, almost blissfully sedated ease that they carry themselves with. It’s a sort of “I can do anything” demeanor. Hosting a live television show isn’t scary to Derek Jeter because hitting a home run to left field in front of a crowd of 50,000 people is just a day at work for him.
