Helen Mirren 'SNL' Promos With Fred Armisen (VIDEO)


First Posted: 04/06/11 01:28 PM ET Updated: 06/06/11 06:12 AM ET

The great Helen Mirren is hosting "Saturday Night Live" this weekend with musical guest The Foo Fighters, and from the looks of these promos the 'Queen' is more than ready to rock.

Watch her and Fred Armisen play off each other in the halls of "SNL," ultimately leading to an all-out dance party a la "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo." How do you think she'll do as host? Tell us your thoughts in the comments!

I watched tonight's show and thought it got off to a weak start with the opening skit and Helen’s monologue.

But after that it made a very impressive comeback with some great skits that made me laugh, some good ones that entertained me, and only one or two that were so-so.

I'm certain she'll be the better Brit and outdo Elton John. Helen should be right on par with the hosting and performance put on by Jane Lynch several months ago which was spot on brilliant.

Oh I love Helen Mirren. (I saw her in The Queen last weekend. She became Elizabeth. Perfect.)She looks like she's having fun here. I don't always watch SNL but I'm going to this week.

And doesn't she look terrific?

I wish she hadn't decided to stop doing those PBS detective shows.

Let's hope she brings some writers with her

Helen is outrageously talented in many different ways. She will be fabulous and the promos were a great start.

I really wish Fred Armisen was funny. It would make Saturday nights so much more pleasant.

Yeah, he's by far the least funny cast member, with Seth Myers close behind.
