SNL Star Gets Psyched for Michael Phelps
Originally posted 09/08/2008 12:00PM
Saturday Night Live castmember Kristen Wiig is counting the minutes until the NBC show returns this weekend. One big reason? The season's first host.
"I'm excited to meet Michael Phelps!" she told PEOPLE at a bash celebrating her film Ghost Town at the Toronto Film Festival. "He's gonna be naked in all the sketches I write, for sure."
But the 23-year-old Phelps, who won an astonishing eight gold medals at the 2008 Summer Olympics, will still have plenty of costume changes.
"There are some people that you can just picture with a wig on and it's funny," she said at the event sponsored by Hollywood Life magazine. "He's one of those people."

With a baby on the way, Amy Poehler says she and husband Will Arnett will celebrate her Emmy nomination with prenatal care in mind.
"Ice-cream shots!" Poehler tells PEOPLE after she was nominated for outstanding actress in a comedy series on Saturday Night Live.
"It's super hot," adds Arnett. "So it'll be a lot of
staying indoors, getting ice cream, and keeping cool."
The comedy couple don't know the sex of their child, and haven't
prepared a nursery yet, but they say they've still got some time yet
to get ready.
"I think it drops in October," Arnett, 38, says. "We're very excited."
Poehler jokingly confesses there might be another issue they have to
deal with first.
"My brother said when they announce the nominees I'll take up two of
the five boxes," Poehler, 36, says.
