    Phelps will host the sketch comedy series when it begins its new season September 13 with musical guest Lil Wayne.

    NBC has banked on viewer interest in Phelps continuing beyond his successful quest to win eight gold medals at the Beijing Summer Games. Phelps is a guest on NBC's "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" on September 8, and the network picked up the broadcast rights to the 2009 World Swimming Championship, in which Phelps will compete.
