If you've ever found yourself wondering why Mark Ruffalo hasn't hosted Saturday Night Live before, it's definitely not because he's never been asked.

View StoryThe 56-year-old actor surprisingly turned down SNL creator Lorne Michaels' offer to host the show. Now, Ruffalo fears he will never be asked back.

Maron then suggested memorizing the lines instead of reading the cards.
"I have the double whammy. I'm dyslexic, and I have a hard time memorizing stuff. Like, I have to start so early," Ruffalo said.
