The new season of Saturday Night Live is fast approaching, and the show is hunting for celebrity hosts. On Wednesday, the official SNL put out a call on Twitter, asking fans which famous names they want to see in Studio 8H.

Some Twitter followers suggested their favorite stars (Lin-Manuel Miranda, Rachel Bloom and Carrie Underwood among them), while some celebs took it a step further and nominated themselves.

Simone Biles is clearly still feeling the glow from sharing the stage with Beyonce at the VMAs Sunday night, and threw her and her Olympics gymnastics teammates' hats into the ring.

"#FinalFive PLEASE! We have been dying to do it," she tweeted at SNL, before later deleting the tweet. (Stage fright?)

Even if not all five of the gymnasts are on board to host, we'd love to see a Biles hosting stint, mostly to see her pull off one of these on live TV again.
