Tonight, NBC's “Saturday Night Live” returns from its two-week hiatus with an all-new episode hosted by Academy Award Winner Jamie Foxx. Joining Foxx tonight as the show's musical guest is Rapper Ne-Yo; who will be appearing on the show for the first time.

Jamie Foxx is hosting the show for his second time; his first actually being the first show if 2000. Jamie Foxx is a very good actor; winning the Academy Award in 2005 for his strong performance as the legendary singer Ray Charles. Foxx is also a comedic performer; having joined the cast of “In Living Color” in its third season. Jamie Foxx has also appeared in comedic films as well; his most recent was last year's “Horrible Bosses”- which starred current “Saturday Night Live” Castmember Jason Sudeikis.

Tonight, Jamie Foxx is hosting to promote his next film “Django Unchained”; which opens Christmas Day. In the movie, which is directed by Quentin Tarentino, Foxx portrays the titular character Django; a slave that that becomes a bounty hunter who sets out to rescue his wife, played by Kerry Washington, from a plantation owner; played by Leonardo Dicaprio. Foxx will also be starring in “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” as Electro; one of the superhero's enemies that has the power to harness great amounts of electricity. The sequel to this year's blockbuster is open in 2014.

I truly hope that tonight's episode of “Saturday Night Live” is good; as there hasn't been an entirely great show yet this season. The cast, writers, and crew of the long-running sketch comedy show had a few weeks off, and hopefully they are ready to put on a memorable show.

And, to start the night off right, I am going to post some possible sketches and occurrences that could take place tonight. So, without further ado, I now present to you:

Some Predictions for “Saturday Night Live” Season Thirty-Eight: Episode Nine- Jamie Foxx / Ne-Yo

1. Since he is also a known stand-up comic, I wouldn't be surprised if Jamie Foxx gets to do a comedy set for his monologue. Since most of this season's monologues have been musical in nature, it would be nice to see some good stand-up for a change. The only host that got the opportunity to do a stand-up monologue was Louis C.K. When he hosted on November 3^rd. Thus, it would be nice to see something different tonight. However, this comes to my next point.
2. Since Jamie Foxx also has an established musical career, I wouldn't actually be surprised if he gets to do a musical monologue as well. I wouldn't mind seeing a musical monologue tonight; but I would like to see Jamie Foxx get the opportunity to do some stand-up comedy tonight.
3. Seeing as Jamie Foxx won the Academy Award for his performance as Ray Charles in 2005's “Ray,” I wouldn't be surprised to see the actor reprise his portrayal tonight.

And finally,

4. Seeing as Jamie Foxx has established himself as recording artist, having released four albums, his most recent was 2010's “Best Night of My Life,” I would not be surprised if he gets the opportunity to perform with Ne-Yo at some point during the night. The whole performance would get a lot of positive feedback from the audience. So henceforth, I wouldn't be surprised to see Foxx perform with the show's musical guest.

So those are my predictions. Nevertheless, throughout the show, I will be commenting on the performances of Jamie Foxx, the “Saturday Night Live” cast as well as Ne-Yo. I will also be commenting the writing of the sketches as well as whether or not Foxx has good comedic chemistry with the cast. And following the show, I will be posting a review that outlines my opinions in greater detail. Needless to say, I am going to be VERY busy tonight.

So be sure to have your televisions set to NBC by 11:30pm and have my blog on your computers. Be sure to keep refreshing your computer screens throughout the telecast so you can see my latest comments. Feel free to post your own opinions by clicking the “comment” link underneath my posts. Your feedback means a lot and I look forward to hearing your opinions. So stay tuned and I'll see you at 11:30pm!
