This is pretty impressive. David Cook is set to appear on Saturday Night Live November 1. This is the Saturday before the presidential election, so count on the ratings to be HUGE for this particular show.
This is a very big get for the Cook camp. Congrats to all involved!
There was some chatter in comments about the history of Idols appearing on SNL. Lady Madonna was kind enough to check out the SNL archives, and this is what she found:
Clay Aiken: 02.12.04 (Invisible and ‹The Way)
Kelly Clarkson: 02.12.05 (SUBG and ‹Breakaway)
Carrie Underwood: 03.24.07 (Before He Cheats and ‹Wasted) and 02.23.08 (All American Girl and ‹Flat on the Floor)
David Cook’s appearance on Saturday Night Live will mark the earliest appearance post win/finale for any Idol who has appeared on the show.
