David Cook to Appear on Saturday Night Live November 1
This is pretty impressive. David Cook is set to appear on Saturday Night Live November 1. This is the Saturday before the presidential election, so count on the ratings to be HUGE for this particular show.
This is a very big get for the Cook camp. Congrats to all involved!
There was some chatter in comments about the history of Idols appearing on SNL. Lady Madonna was kind enough to check out the SNL archives, and this is what she found:
Clay Aiken: 02.12.04 (à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢Invisibleà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ and à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‹The Wayà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢)
Kelly Clarkson: 02.12.05 (SUBG and à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‹Breakawayà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢)
Carrie Underwood: 03.24.07 (à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢Before He Cheatsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ and à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‹Wastedà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢) and 02.23.08 (à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢All American Girlà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ and à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‹Flat on the Floorà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢)
David Cook’s appearance on Saturday Night Live will mark the earliest appearance post win/finale for any Idol who has appeared on the show.

I hope the day never comes that David tailors his writing in order to guarantee radio play. I have faith it won’t. His writing, and his integrity in doing what he feels is right as an artist, is part of why I am a fan. I also believe strongly that the album will do well as the extent of his talent becomes apparent to more people. Those people who only saw his singing/playing/rearranging talents on the show are in for a surprise when they see him perform songs he has written without the constraints of AI. Seeing him perform on tour, you were made aware that we were only getting a small indicator of his performing abilities on the show. Most of the world has yet to see that or the songwriting. I can’t believe that those of us who were bowled over by these things are that unusual.
Aiyi, please no. That would be the very definition of “selling out” to me, if he turns his back on his own music and cranks out prefabricated junk just to sell units for the label. He may sell like gangbusters, but what’s the point?
Please Lord no!!!! I hope he NEVER EVER sells out to that degree.
I’d rather he have a smallih cult following for his music than the eventual goal be to mass produce in order to sell.
Oh hell no.
Oh, happiness!!!
Thanks. I needed this.
Heh, Gwendolyn.

I’m with you Layla, but if (and that’s a really big IF) little Davey Cook is lucky enough to get to do a skit on SNL on November 1st, the chances are going to be very high that he will be guest starring in another installment of The Cougar Den. I think it would be very, very, VERY difficult for the cast of SNL to resist that glorious synergy given that David is well known for being Cougar Prey. (Damn you, Cougars4Cook sign lady!!) So, sorry about that, Layla. You may just have to change the channel during the skit.
