Exactly candrew088. I don't think Carol Burnett hosting SNL will ever happen. Especially now that she's gotten on in years. I've also heard her say in an interview when asked about hosting SNL she made a comment like "well if it's good". Comments like that don't endear her to the show.

There's an interview on You Tube where Burnett said she'd host SNL if asked; but I think she was either just being nice or trying to avoid controversy.
It's pretty well known Lorne Michaels is not a fan of Carol Burnett's brand of sketch comedy. When SNL was in its early years he'd use the phrase "too Burnett" to describe skits that he thought were too hack-ish.

It would be fitting for Burnett to do SNL because I have always believed that a lot of her sketches were on the level of the best of SNL. Bear in mind that her show ran 11 years and God only knows how many sketches there were but I can remember a number of them that were so good they were brilliant. The best one is where Burnett plays a wife whose husband has been kidnapped. She's being interviewed by Korman and the skit goes from seemingly serious to over-the-top histrionics as Burnett is required to do her interview repeatedly.

And they succeeded. That's why her show was great and SNL sucks

The irony here is that when SNL first started she was still doing her show and the people on SNL didn't like it too much and wanted to do things to avoid being like that.

I just saw her last night and she indicated that she has no interest in hosting SNL. She did confirm, as has been reported, that she would be interested in being on Glee.

Amen, I totally agree!!! They could learn a lot from this legend of laughter. When God made Carol Burnett, he broke the mold!
