Saturday Night Wolfcake

A wave of melancholy swept over Port Charles during this afternoon's General Hospital, mainly because Franco was conspicuously absent from its Thanksgiving activities. Good news though: the actor, who will return to daytime next week, is taking another swing at Saturday Night Live on December 19. NBC also confirmed that Blake Lively (who co-starred with Franco during an SNL sketch in September 2008), will host December 5 and New Moon star Taylor Lautner will headline the December 12 show. [EW]
