Saturday Night Live kicks off with a bang this year, with Lil Wayne Carter as the musical guest and Olympic champion Michael Phelps as the host. (Hopefully, unlike seasons past, parts of this one will be funny.) Earlier in the year Wayne Carter remarkably sold a million records in a week, last month he played the Virgin Mobile Festival at Pimlico and threw the whole schedule off with his shenanigans.

More Wayne photos after the jump.
