Beck Bennett Archives

With only three days to go until NBC's Saturday Night Live welcomes first-time host Regina King (Watchmen, One Night in Miami) and first-time musical guest Nathaniel Rateliff to Studio 8H (with the hosts and musical guests for the February 20 and 27 shows to be announced soon), we've gotten over our issues with the lack of a[...]

You're on notice- and that means at least three table read preview images. Image: Screencap For a look at what's essentially a mini-recap from Saturday's episode followed by a moment at the end with King and Rateliffe's names telling us that there's a new episode this week (are we coming across passive-aggressive, because that's what we were[...]

While The Papa John's-QAnon commercial hit on so many levels, I thought the standouts were Aidy Bryant doing double-duty as Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid and Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians (Bryant had me with the "ask slowly" moment), and Beck Bennett's Boomer Esiason I wish it wasn't the end of the NFL season[...]

Following that, Levy wonders if Bridgers could write a song about him considering how they've gotten to know one another- but Bryant already has that covered.

On the plus side, "Weekend Update" can do no wrong, the "Twins" sketch was our favorite for taking a turn we didn't see coming (both below), "The Loser" went as absurd as I needed it to go, and MGK f***ing killed it. Opening Credits Songs – SNL 0-52 screenshot Another sketch that made our "Nice" list was[...]

On February 13, Regina King (Watchmen, One Night in Miami) and musical guest Nathaniel Rateliff take the helm (with the hosts/musical guests for the February 20 and 27 shows not yet announced): Saturday Night Live's 46th season includes Beck Bennett, Aidy Bryant, Michael Che, Pete Davidson, Mikey Day, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, Colin Jost, Kate McKinnon,[...]

And then there's the matter of disappointing Kelly, who lets Krasinksi and Gardner in on a little "family history" about his name: Saturday Night Live's 46th season includes Beck Bennett, Aidy Bryant, Michael Che, Pete Davidson, Mikey Day, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, Colin Jost, Kate McKinnon, Alex Moffat, Kyle Mooney, Ego Nwodim, Chris Redd, Cecily Strong,[...]

It's also a fact that Davidson doesn't hesitate to make everyone aware of (we swore he was going to take a dive down the stairs for one second) in the clip below:   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Saturday Night Live (@nbcsnl) Here's a look at the full, original sketch to use as a comparison: Saturday[...]

Props to Beck Bennett, Kyle Mooney, and Chloe Fineman for being just the right counterbalance (even though in my family, it was my Dad who always got screwed around the holidays). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl7rfTWVubEVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Dua Lipa: Levitating (Live) – SNL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl7rfTWVubE) Dua Lipa held up her end of the bargain by crushing[...]

Then it's time for a "Mimic Challenge," where the pair challenge each other to mimic the sounds of inanimate objects (ex: the squeeze of a ketchup bottle, the bounce of a ping pong ball): Fallon was also lucky enough to pull Dua Lipa away from rehearsals to help him perform a special version of "Christmas Is[...]

In the second clip, Lipa's like us: Wiig and McKinnon are trying way too hard to convince us that it's a "wonderful time of the year." Finally, McKinnon takes a second to get the two caught up on what's been going down since they were last there in the most basic way possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sXkvCvePWcVideo can't be[...]

Here's a look at the clip, followed by the song that we're starting a mini-campaign over to make sure it gets performed live that night: Saturday Night Live's 46th season includes Beck Bennett, Aidy Bryant, Michael Che, Pete Davidson, Mikey Day, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, Colin Jost, Kate McKinnon, Alex Moffat, Kyle Mooney, Ego Nwodim, Chris[...]

Well, you couldn't ask for a better final host for 2020 than Kristen Wiig (Wonder Woman 1984)- do we really need to remind you of just how much of a performing powerhouse she was on the show from 2005-2012, and every appearance she made after that? Saturday Night Live ends the year with Kristen Wiig and[...]

And in case anyone out there thought Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band was booked solely out of respect for his rock history were given a smack-to-the-back-of-the-head reminder in the form of "Ghosts" and "I'll See You in My Dreams" that "The Boss" and his crew still have quite a few musical moments left[...]

Joining Wiig to wrap up the midseason for 2020 is musical artist Dua Lipa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikqaz8u8mbAVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Timothée Chalamet and Cecily Strong Call Each Other by Their Names – SNL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikqaz8u8mbA) Saturday Night Live's 46th season includes Beck Bennett, Aidy Bryant, Michael Che, Pete Davidson, Mikey Day, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, Colin[...]

But for now, here's a look at Chalamet at work- finding something amusing: ‼️ @RealChalamet ‼️ pic.twitter.com/RuPmlsL7uR — Saturday Night Live – SNL (@nbcsnl) December 10, 2020 UPDATE: Even more pics:   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Saturday Night Live (@nbcsnl) Saturday Night Live's 46th season includes Beck Bennett, Aidy Bryant, Michael Che, Pete Davidson, Mikey Day, Chloe[...]

Then on December 12, we have Timothee Chalamet as our ringmaster and Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band as the "guest house band." Finally, December 12 brings SNL vet Kristen Wiig and musical artist Dua Lipa for the pre-break fest. Saturday Night Live returns December 5th (Image: SNL/NBCU) Saturday Night Live's 46th season includes Beck Bennett, Aidy[...]

Following that, Nwodim connects the dots between Mulaney's previous hosting gig and this one and… well… let's just say Mulaney has a big COVID-related apology to offer.

Saturday Night Live announces next host/musical act (Image: NBC) Going from SNL writer to host (twice in 2020), here's a look back at Mulaney's past runs on the show- already giving off a good vibe this early on[...]

SNL Season 46's second episode included host Bill Burr, last-minute musical act Jack White, and some things definitely worth discussing.

We also saw some major changes on the political humor front, with Alec Baldwin's Donald Trump and Beck Bennett's Mike Pence returning on the Republican side, and Maya Rudolph on board for the season as Kamala Harris with Jim Carrey (yes, that Jim Carrey) on board as Joe Biden As for the first night of what[...]
