From a New Girl actor to a Vampire Diaries hottie, we layout our dream Saturday Night Live hosts in this photo gallery.
1. Max Greenfield

Max Greenfield slays us as Schmidt on New Girl. He would absolutely kill as host of SNL.
2. Ian Somerhalder

Ian Somerhalder has the looks, we know that much. But he's also testified in front of Congress, so we're pretty sure he won't get nervous.
3. Peter Dinklage

Did you catch Peter Dinklage's appearance alongside Drunk Uncle? He's clearly up for the task.
4. Timothy Olyphant

The epitome of cool... and scary. But his guest spot on The Mindy Project proved his comedy chops.
5. Nathan Fillion

Has a cult following, along with the perfect tone and delivery for SNL.
6. Stephen Amell

Even with his shirt on, few actors are as at ease when interacting with their fans.
7. Connie Britton

Is she known for comedy? Not particularly. But Connie Britton is known for being perfect.
8. Allison Janney

Allison Janney may be the perfect actress. She can do drama, she can do comedy and she doesn't take herself too seriously.
9. Kaley Cuoco

She's only the main actress on TV's highest-rated sitcom. What's the hold up here?
