Michael Phelps Belly-Flops on SNL
I have to give Olympic swimmer, Michael Phelps, credit- for trying something completely out of his element. The eight-time Beijing gold medalists Saturday Night Live hosting duties were a bit awkward and cringe-worthy for the shows season premier.
Micheal may own the clock in the pool, but his comedic timing is a different story. Phelps was like a fish out of water. The fluid athlete we saw during the Olympics was gone; on the SNL stage Michael was stiff, slow, and drug his limbs around the set like Frankenstein.
Michael also reads a teleprompter about as good as McCain and Obama, which is nothing to brag about.
In Michael’s defence, the writers that night were off their game. Many of the sketches were totally bizarre?
Good try Michael Phelps, but I can think of at least 8 reason why you shouldn’t quit your day job!

I have to say that I felt bad for the guy, it was a bit painful to watch. He stumbled over more lines than G W. But the guy isn’t a personality or movie star so we have to take his attempt with a grain of salt.

Michael Phelps aims are good ,but should focus on particular thing then he can acheive his gaol,at the same time he should think for what he is best capable for.
