Going back to the Benedict/Martin-issue, I did notice that he didn't even mentioned Sherlock when he listed what he might be known for, in his monologue. 

I think it's because Sherlock isn't that well known on this side of the pond. I do occasionally meet other Sherlockians, but for every one I meet, there are ten people who have never heard of it. SNL hosts tend to bring up the things they've done that the audience is likely to know about.

He wasn't a particularly memorable SNL host, but I think he did a good job.

Just some other thoughts from skimming the thread:

-Martin and/or Benedict have flat out said that they're not friends and don't hang out. But it's clear to me from interviews that they are on good terms and genuinely like each other. So I believe that anything they say against the other is said affectionately. One of the outtakes from TSOT shows them behind the scenes at the 221b breakfast table and they are so at ease with each other, with Martin teasing Benedict. There's a moment in another interview where Martin says that he did something 'to make Ben laugh.' There's definite cameraderie on set.

-I'm a fan of Sherlock because of Martin. He was the person who drew me to the show. I knew his name well before Sherlock existed and I didn't even memorize the name of the guy who played Sherlock until that moment watching TEH when I realised that, hey, waitaminute, Khan is Sherlock/Sherlock is Khan/my mind is blown. I now follow Benedict's career extensively because he does so many projects I'm interested in while I'm not as interested in the work Martin does (loved Fargo, though, and his being in it was one factor that convinced me to watch it). I actually don't watch/read a lot of interviews for either because I don't want to get to know the actors that well. In real life, Ben's more my type than is Martin, but on Sherlock, you'll find me lusting after John. I don't discuss Martin/John as much as Benedict because a) I haven't seen as much of Martin's work and b) I became a hard core Sherlockian after series 3, in which my feelings for John became so conflicted.

-In reply to some of the comments about Amanda, I know she is someone I would strongly dislike in real life because of her vulgar and immature strops on Twitter. But that doesn't stop me from appreciating her work as an actress and thinking she deserves congratulations for any awards won.

-Finally, in my culture, the 'f' word is about as vulgar as the English word darn, so it simply has no shock value to me at all and I have to remind myself that native English speakers have issues with it!

John: That's clever. So you scratch their backs and...
Sherlock: Yes. And then disinfect myself.

Re: Martin will be hosting Saturday Night Live on Dec. 13

Though not if you live in Scotland!
And it is definitely a cultural thing.
More to the point, apparently at least 3 of the 4 person Freeman family swear constantly.
'F..k' seems to be Martin's word of choice.

I don't see why you should apologize. Hope to see you back soon!

No hurt feelings here, either. Everyone is entitled to her/his opinion.
It's just kinda interesting that this forum is considered to be a place full of hate and bashing, and it seems to me that some people have difficulties with distinguishing between tumblr or twitter and this forum.
But enough said.

Re: Martin will be hosting Saturday Night Live on Dec. 13

All good here.

Ii occurs to me that I spent a number of years in academia, and I never heard so many f-bombs dropped as there. (Not even by Martin on a roll!) No one meant anything much by it there, either, so it's hard for me to get offended by such language, even though I've never, ever used it myself. It's all in what you're used to, I suppose, and on who's using it, so I can't imagine anyone who has had anything to do with Martin so much as blinking at it.

Re: Martin will be hosting Saturday Night Live on Dec. 13

I wonder if it's hard for Martin to not swear in front of his kids?

When my kids were little I cut way back.  As a result when the kids were away I would swear like a sailor all weekend to get it out of my system.
