NBC‘s Saturday Night Live returns on September 13 with host Michael Phelps and musical guest ‘Lil Wayne.

US Olympic swimming phenomenon Michael Phelps will make his acting debut hosting the season premiere hot off his record-shattering performance in Beijing.

The SNL season premiere kicks off four live shows in a row, a rare practice that generated momentum for the show this past spring when the show returned after the WGA Strike-imposed hiatus. All told, seven all-new SNL’s will air on Saturdays prior to the election.

Phelps went a perfect 8-for-8 in Beijing, breaking Mark Spitz‘s single-Games record for most gold medals won. In addition, Phelps broke another Olympics record, becoming the most decorated Olympian in history, winning a stunning 14 career gold medals. Phelps currently holds seven world records in swimming.

I don’t know about you, but I will definitely be tuning in to see if Phelps is as good an actor as he is a swimmer. My guess is no, but it’s worth a look. I wonder if he will wear his Speedo. Hmmm….
