Will it start late or run late? That’s what I’m wondering with the news that this season’s “Saturday Night Live” premiere will star Olympic god Michael Phelps as host and the I-do-things-on-my-own-time Lil Wayne.

The pairing makes sense, as Phelps often spoke of his affinity for the frequently arrested, never on time, mega-selling rapper. Apparently, Wayne’s ‘I’m Me” fired up Phelps before his races.

The Sept. 13 show will be the first of four live “SNL”’s in a row, and the show will air seven new episodes prior to the presidential election. Given Fred Armisen’s tepid impersonation of Barack Obama, is anyone really excited about this?
