Steve Buscemi is pretty nervous about hosting ‘Saturday Night Live’ (Video)

By Sarah Anne Hughes

Steve Buscemi. (Astrid Stawiarz - GETTY IMAGES) Steve Buscemi is hosting “Saturday Night Live” this weekend, which is either going to be delightfully weird or just weird weird.

In an interview with Jimmy Fallon Thursday, the “Boardwalk Empire”star admitted to being “a nervous wreck” about the hosting gig, which is his second. You can watch Buscemi’s slightly NSFW monologue from a 1998 show here. (Bonus: The video also shows a young Tina Fey with a terrible haircut!)

A little nervousness peeks through in his promos with Andy Samberg and musical guest, the Black Keys. But his bits with Bill Hader — chasing an imaginary turkey, making “Fargo” wood chipper jokes — seem much looser.

Watch Buscemi’s “SNL” promos and his Fallon interview below.
