Taylor Lautner vs James Franco

Team Taylor all the way! First off, Taylor would kick the pineapples out of Franco in a real fight, and as far as acting chops; just because Taylor is younger and hasn't had as many opportunities to prove himself doesn't mean he couldn't throw down on screen as well.

Now, I don't know that this is a fair comparison against Franco just because they have, oh, nothing in common besides being men (Well, Taylor's a few months short due to a technicality.) and actors. I have absolute faith in Taylor's performance though. I mean if that guy who stands around shirtless on Conan as "Wolf Boy"(see Conan feeds Taylor Lautner grapes post) can get a laugh out of me, Taylor sure as hell can. There's sure to be a whole gaggle of everyone else has their shirt off but Taylor and/or skeazy fan encounter skits. All of which I graciously welcome come December.

Taylor Lautner and James Franco: Who will be a better 'SNL' host?

When SNL announced yesterday that James Franco and Taylor Lautner would be hosting in December, I had one thought: Man, I would love to see these two wrestle. Just kidding: I thought man, James Franco is going to obliterate poor Taylor Lautner and his biceps of teenwolf lust.

In Lautner’s defense, he’ll be one of the youngest hosts the show has ever had — a few months shy of his 18thredux on our hands, though: Lautner is famous for one and only one thing, and given how much the show has struggled this season to give hosts a variety of material, that’s going to make writing for him pretty tough. Might he be charismatic and nimble enough to carry it anyway? Eh…live TV has slayed far mightier foes. birthday puts him among the 10 youngest. I’m worried that we might have a January Jones

Which brings us to Franco. Franco hosted last year, and he did a pretty solid job — plus he’s a naturally funny guy who has been in many comedies. He’s also shown himself to be a really good sport about making fun of himself, which is often what the best SNL sketches come from.

I think Franco has this locked down, PopWatchers. Maybe the question is will Lautner be a disaster, or can he hold his own?

So, what do you guys think? Will our Taylor be out funnied by an older yet physically lacking Franco??? I may be bias, but I'm thinkin' not. Never underestimate the power of a sexy man/boy's 8 pack!
