Taylor Lautner Kicks Butt on SNL

Did you see Taylor hosting SNL last night?? Okay, where to start...

It was immediately apparent that Taylor was completely comfortable on stage. He came out and was calm, articulate ...and FUNNY. His timing was perfect. Wow. Little did we know when he first graced the screen in Twilight that he had all this talent waiting to bubble to the surface! His performance last night on SNL would make seasoned hosts look amateurish and nervous. I just keep liking this kid more and more.

Apparently he's dating Taylor Swift, lol. I had wondered because I saw a joke online last week that said: "If Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift get married, they'll both be Taylor Lautner..." But in his opening dialog on SNL he addressed the fact that he was on stage with Swift the night Kanye West rudely interrupted her acceptance for the Video of the Year award. He waxed regretfully about what he would have like to do / say to Kanye that night. In the process he highlighted his wonderful talent as a martial artist (When he was eleven, he was ranked number one in the world for NASKA's Black Belt Open Forms, Musical Weapons, Traditional Weapons and Traditional Forms and, at the age of twelve, he won the Junior World Championships. Source) and also revealed a respectful talent as a comedian. He was a natural, I tell you! And so, in case you missed it, here's Taylor Lautner hamming it up in his SNL opening monologue:

(My favorite Taylor monologue line: "I remember when SNL first started. I was negative 18 at the time." he he he..)

Taylor did a great job in all his skits, he was understated and wasn't a stage hog. He seems wise beyond his years.

Lastly, we all knew they'd have to poke a little fun at the Twilight franchise and it was great! It was funny and cheeky without being offensive to Twilight fans. Good job! To see more of Taylor on SNL, go to hulu.com!
