Since Vegas is already paying off bets on Obama winning the election, the only thing left to gamble on is by how much the Illinois senator will win by. Or, if you are in a particularly risky mood, you could place your money on which candidate will appear on Saturday Night Live on November 1st.

John McCain hinted at an appearance, but won't confirm or deny anything, for fear that a no-show would equal another Late Night disaster of Letterman proportions. Barack Obama has already appeared on the show, the same time last year, for a sketch about Hillary and Bill hosting a Halloween party, but so far there isn't any confirmation about a repeat performance this year either, although rumors abound.

So far this season, all the guest-guessing has paid off: look what happened when the people clamored for Tina Fey, Sarah Palin, and Mark Wahlberg (all in the same episode, no less!). But Lorne Michaels refuses to confirm any appearances until he gets them "in the building," because at this point there have been so many cancellations (who? who??) that it's making the NBC producers look silly. Heaven forbid anything concerning SNL appears farcical.
