Cecily Strong Archives

Here's a look at the index cards making it official: Image: SNL 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, Kenan Thompson, Melissa Villaseñor, and Bowen Yang[...]

In the first of two sketches, Jonas is joined by SNL cast members Ego Nwodim and Bowen Yang– who make sure Jonas understands that this could be the break he's been waiting for, kid! Following that, Nwodim and Yang are surprised to learn that Jonas is also the musical guest because their newest single just[...]

Earlier this week, he even beat the show when it came to getting the first lead-in post out (impressively beating the intro video)- earning him bonus points with us because we like it when hosts and musical artists offer us looks at the show we wouldn't normally get. Image: Screencap Here's a look at SNL's official "host[...]

When you're hosting and serving as the musical guest, we're guessing it's good to have that kind of energy in the tank. Image: Screencap Here's a look at Jonas's post from Monday, clearly enjoying the warm, cozy weather that comes with New York City in February:   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by NICK JONɅS (@nickjonas) And now[...]

But the sketch lost points by wasting an opportunity to go after Gina Carano (Cecily Strong) in the same manner, offering nothing more than a line, a "yeah but," and then Strong trying not to break to Bryant's Cruz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuaJ6J9iTb4Video can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Britney Spears Cold Open – SNL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuaJ6J9iTb4) Yes, Bad Bunny[...]

pic.twitter.com/ZLl3nkttIK — Saturday Night Live – SNL (@nbcsnl) February 20, 2021 Here's a look back at the promo that was released earlier this week for tonight episode, with Page and Villaseñor feeling inspired by Bad Bunny to try a different take on their names: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiJ1rdgeBAkVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Regé-Jean Page Tries Out a Bad[...]

Hmmm… In fact, here's a look at Bad Bunny on Instagram with the title:   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by @badbunnypr Now here's a look at SNL's posts from earlier today- which left us wondering (A) who will end up WWE 24/7 Champ during the show and (B) how many times will it change hands? If[...]

Spoiler? "Regé-Jean Bunny" actually kinda' works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiJ1rdgeBAkVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Regé-Jean Page Tries Out a Bad Bunny-Inspired Nickname – SNL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiJ1rdgeBAk) 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,[...]

Now things are back on track because we also have a look at Page live for New York at SNL table reads. Images: Screencaps Here's a look at Page hard at work, which means we should be expecting a promo or two on Thursday (maybe Friday?):   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Saturday Night Live (@nbcsnl) Saturday[...]

Following that, a misunderstanding between King and Bennett leads to some awkward Valentine's Day confusion:   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Saturday Night Live (@nbcsnl) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fj-B7kPNAsVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Regina King Is Beck Bennett's Valentine – SNL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fj-B7kPNAs) Saturday Night Live's 46th season includes Beck Bennett, Aidy Bryant, Michael Che, Pete Davidson,[...]

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[...]

After last week's solid start to 2021, SNL host Dan Levy and musical guest Phoebe Bridgers raised the show's game this week- here's our look.

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 February 13, Regina King (Watchmen, One Night in Miami) will be the host with musical guest Nathaniel Rateliff; with the hosts and musical guests for the February 20 and 27 shows to be announced soon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9D_Y-8Po8gVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Dan Levy Is Hosting His First SNL!

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[...]

NBC's Saturday Night Live featured SNL alum Kristen Wiig, a horny Grinch, a rough Biden start, Michael Che owning Joke Swap 2020, and more.

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[...]

Gardner's much more down-to-earth reaction to the present is what makes the sketch, with special mention going to Mikey Day's understandably pissed-off neighbor.  A sketch involving a family of coronavirus particles (Chalamet, Cecily Strong, Bennett, Lauren Holt) who ave a falling out during a Christmas reunion reminded me of the old days of SNL– The Killer[...]

But Chalamet seems as cool and calm as can be in the following double-promo clip with Springsteen, the band, and Saturday Night Live cast member Cecily Strong In the first promo, "The Boss" announces that the band's also part of the SNL cast now- and guess who wants to play Dr Fauci? In the second[...]
