"[Christopher] Walken has hosted Saturday Night Live, the very show that spoofed him, a staggering six times, and, along with Alec Baldwin, he has a standing invitation to host the show every year, if scheduling permits."

Steve Martin I would assume also holds that privilege since he is an Honorary Cast Member. Here is a list of other Honorary Cast Members, both Baldwin and Walken are on this list too.

Point well taken W-A-M...I also ran into Britney Spears and Howard Stern having those same honors.

Eddie Murphy, Bill Muary, Robin Williams, Dave Chapel, Jim Carrey, and others I'm sure could host SNL merely by requesting it. They would guarentee such high ratings by making an apperance that nobody would think of stopping them.
