Tim Tebow To Host Saturday Night Live?

As you may figure, there is not a more hotter commodity in sports right now than Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.

Last week, Tebow was mocked on Saturday Night Live cold open but according to sources, Tebow is on SNL's short list to host it:

Even though Saturday Night Live made fun of Tim Tebow during their Dec. 17 episode, they actually are huge fans of the pro-athlete. HollywoodLife has just learned that SNL wants the 24-year-old to host the show!



“SNL realizes it would be HUGE ratings and they are hoping he will say yes,” our source says. “Tim just can’t and won’t be able to do it while the season is still in play.”

No word yet from Tebow if he will become the fourth NFL quarterback to host the show.
