Seven Olympic medalists, (six winning Gold), have hosted Saturday Night Live. Name one to seven of them per post.

Two Correct! for Themysterymachine, (Michael Jordan, Michael Phelps).




Five Correct!

James, Barkley, Foreman and Moseley all won Olympic Gold; Kerrigan was a Silver and Bronze Medalist.

Lance Armstrong doesn't count, as he was retroactively disqualified from the 2000 Games.

I missed Moseley when compiling the list. There's a Special Prize up for grabs for anyone who can name the eighth Olympic Medalist who hosted Saturday Night Live. Themysterymachine is reinstated for the Special Prize contest.





Bill Russell IS the eighth Olympic Medal winning host of Saturday Night Live, and you would have been the first recipient of a second Special Prize IF YOU HAD QUOTED THE ORIGINAL QUESTION POST INSTEAD OF THE RE-POST. Instead of a Special Prize, here's one and a half lines of Robert Di Nero:

And his face lost all expression
Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy
You gotta learn to play it right
