Lindsay Lohan Pokes Fun At Own Arrests During SNL Monologue

I don’t think anyone expected that Lindsay Lohan would be hosting <em>Saturday Night Live</em> in 2012, or that she would do so without a movie, album, or any project at all to promote! Her opening monologue was a perfect opportunity to answer some questions the audience would have for her, and she wasted no time poking fun at herself for her various arrests and her stalled career.

She also had help from a few cast members, including Kenan Thomson, Kristen Wiig, Jimmy Fallon and a celeb cameo from Jon Hamm. The first three were there to demonstrate their utmost faith in her hosting abilities; the fourth was there as a back-up host juuuuuust in case. Not that she’d need it. But just as a precaution. You understand. It remains to be seen how the episode will go, but Lindsay seemed game for anything so far (and looked really lovely!) You can seen her opening monologue here, via NBC:
