Taylor Lautner Beats Taylor Swift in 'SNL' Ratings

Taylor Lautner's hosting gig on the December 12 episode of Saturday Night Live scored the highest ratings of the season for the sketch comedy show. The record was previously held by Taylor Swift, who hosted SNL on November 7.

Taylor Lautner's show, featuring musical guest Bon Jovi, averaged a 5.1/12 rating in metered-market households, while Taylor Swift's episode, in which she also was the musical guest, earned a 5.0 rating.

There's obviously no shortage of accomplishments in this relationship! Watch a clip from Taylor Lautner's SNL stint after the jump, and find out why so many people tuned in for the New Moon star's live comedic performance over the weekend.

Watch Taylor Lautner's SNL Video

LOL. Our favorite parts of Taylor Lautner's hosting gig on SNL last night was his opening monologue where he karate chopped Kanye West (nice backflip too Taylor) and the skit where he played a girl in love with Edward Cullen.

Will Taylor Swift Return to SNL This Week?

She's not supposed to be on Saturday Night Live this weekend, but we have a hunch that Taylor Swift will stop by to visit her "friend" – yeah, right – Taylor Lautner when he takes his turn at hosting the iconic show.

After all, Lautner recently visited the country singing phenomenon while she was performing at the 102.7 KIIS FM Jingle Ball concert in Los Angeles. So now it's only fair that she returns the favor.

Is this fate or what? Taylor S. will be in New York City this Friday for the Z100 Jingle Ball concert. And Taylor L. will be hosting Saturday Night Live the following night.

Could there be a romantic stroll through Central Park in the cards for these two? Or will Lautner blow an air kiss to Taylor Swift live on the air, just like she did to him while hosting the show last month?

FYI: We'll be hanging out backstage at the concert with Taylor Swift (and Justin Bieber, Jordin Sparks, and more) this Friday. If we spot any werewolves with amazing abs hanging around, you'll be the very first to know.

Taylor Lautner Hosts 'Saturday Night Live' Tomorrow

In case you forgot, Taylor Lautner will be hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend with musical guest Bon Jovi. This will be the 17-year-old's first time hosting the live sketch comedy show.

One of Taylor's SNL promos poked some Twilight fun, so it will be interesting to see if a New Moon parody makes the show on Saturday. Twi-fans should get ready to see a new side of the Michigan native as he steps away from his role as Bella's sweet best friend Jacob and shows off his funny side.

We wonder if any of Taylor's New Moon castmates will be in the audience. Or maybe his new "friend" Taylor Swift will show up...

Set your Tivos for tomorrow when Saturday Night LIve airs at 11:35 p.m. on NBC.

Taylor Lautner Promotes 'Saturday Night Live' With New TV Spots

Taylor Lautner and Kristen Wiig are featured in a pair of promotional spots for the New Moon star's appearance on Saturday Night Live this weekend.

The first clip shows Kristen claiming she thought she was a werewolf once, and the second pokes fun at the age difference between the 17-year-old actor and the comedienne.

Taylor is one of the ten youngest celebrities to ever host the sketch comedy sketch series.

Watch the two clips below, and check out Taylor's SNL hosting gig (with musical guest Bon Jovi) on Saturday, December 12 at 11:35 p.m. ET on NBC.


Taylor Swift Mocks Kristen Stewart In SNL 'Firelight' Video

Taylor Swift definitely had us LOLing during her gig as Saturday Night Live host and performer. During her opening monologue song she called out Joe Jonas for dumping her over the phone AND flirted with Taylor Lautner (looks like they really are dating).

But the highlight of the show was the hilarious SNL short, 'Firelight,' (a Twilight parody) in which Taylor did her best Kristen Stewart/Bella impression in a video about a girl who falls in love with...Frankenstein. Check it out below.
