What had he done to merit SNL in 2000?


I see that he hosted SNL in 2000, but reading through his credits, I don't see anything I had seen at that point. What had he accomplished at that point that led to being well-known enough to host SNL?

When he came on the Good Wife I knew I had seen him somewhere but I still can't figure it out.

Thanks, it's driving me crazy.

The original host backed out last minute and he was big on broadway plus (most importantly)willing and readily available.

Plus I'm sure it people thought it could help promote The Flintstones prequel that was a month or two away that he had two roles in.

I would guess that Cabaret and his Tony award had something to do with it, or The Anniversary Party.
