In Videos: Michael Phelps' 12,000 Calorie Diet on 'Saturday Night Live'
Are you tired of diets that actually involve eating less and exercising? Want to replace the flavored water and grapefruit regimen with 12,000 calories a day? That would be a pound of pasta, an actual pig in a blanket, a barrel of Halloween candy, and a pitcher of Hollandaise sauce—just for one meal! Jared Fogle, of Subway diet fame, makes a cameo in this SNL sketch from the weekend, but does not approve. He seems to think results will yield a blubbery belly instead of rock-hard Olympian gold medalist abs. Video, after the jump.

Hey, I thought it was funny. Granted Phelps is not an actor, so he shouldn't be held to the same standards as professionals.

Hey so did I, he was a lot funnier than old Jared.

Well, other non-actor host aren't usually that bad though.
Still, Jared looked like an amateur too which is pretty bad since he's been a professional spokesperson for a decade.

I found it funny. He spends his time swimming when do you think he had time to memorize lines?? I did find it funny even if there were some hiccups!
