In that sense, Dunham is a solid choice for “SNL” host — controversy can translate to buzz and hopefully viewers. However, of all the things that “SNL” could parody about “Girls” (the character’s whining about non-problems? the dysfunctional relationships? 20-somethings acting like teenagers?) many of them were already so masterfully skewered by Tina Fey in a sketch when she hosted the show last year. Fey played a new “Girls” character, Blerta, from Alabania, who assured the girls that all their problems would be okay, because they’re only 15, right?
Anyway, they could always make fun of the nakedness; although it’s broadcast TV, so maybe not. The National will be the show’s musical guests on March 8, making it a perfectly New York affair.
