He must have known he tanked on "SNL" because Michael Phelps retreated from the after-party with his head between his legs.

3. He actually did a lot better than I thought he would. I really don't think he "tanked." He's not a comedian, and we all know that.

Then maybe he shouldn't take hosting gigs on SNL. He sucked!

5. He was awful. Did he even do one skecth that didn't involve him acting as "himself" or have to do with the Olympics? He couldn't even read a cue card when he tried to do the stupid Michal Phelps Diet sketch. The only funny thing about him on SNL were his Dumbo ears.

8. Where are the photos of Phelps downing about a dozen Coronas at the football game this weekend? Another DUI soon? Let's see how his Special Olympic gold medals get him out of trouble.

9. He did not Tank! I think he did very well as a first time actor!

10. There is an uncanny resemblance between Phelps and that HUGE Giant in the movie Big Fish. The ears, mouth, teeth, etc. Don't deny it!!!

12. Not cool to ignore your fans.

They're the ones that can make or break you.

13. He was fine. The writing was awful. Not a good sign for this season. Very weak.

14. These guys aren't fans but professional autograph dealers.
TMZ knows that. He probably had been dealing with these creeps
all day.
