'SNL': Daniel Levy hosts (and gets a visit from dad Eugene), attends super spreader Super Bowl party Gary Dinges, USA TODAY Replay Video Daniel Levy tried so hard and it just didn't work. "I'm so honored to be hosting 'Saturday Night Live'," he says in his opening monologue. "Somewhere, my 13-year-old self has fainted in a really melodramatic way." Levy had zero presence in the opening segment. Little presence elsewhere, either. His "SNL" debut was unceremoniously lackluster. His monologue celebrated the success of his Emmy-winning TV series, though he noted the downside of strangers yelling, "Ew!" at him on the street. “A line I wrote for the show will now haunt me for the rest of my life,” he laments.
