It's a huge weekend for SNL.  This Sunday is the 40th Anniversary Special that they've been teasing for months.  Lucy's boyfriend is in New York this week and actually got pulled aside to film a quick "on the street" segment with the SNL crew.  Who knows, maybe we'll see his mug on TV this weekend.  Just look for the tall guy with facial hair and one of those ear flap caps on.
