Ego Nwodim 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[...]

But don't sleep on Ego Nwodim, who has been a constant of comedic quality this season, or Day for giving back to Levy and McKinnon as good as they were getting and Punkie Johnson is strong support.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-wgA69ZVcUVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Wedding Friends – SNL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-wgA69ZVcU) One of the best sketches of the[...]

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.

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[...]

From Wiig and Bowen Yang having fascinating physical chemistry together on stage and Dua Lipa making her hips move in ways that would make Shakira proud, to the military unit quickly getting into the story, and even how the sketch just decided to end without an actual ending. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsR7tsnOjbUVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled:[...]

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[...]

Two cast members in particular who stood out are Ego Nwodim and Melissa Villaseñor, who played Dionne Warwick and Dolly Parton, respectively Nwodim's Warwick was a fun take on the hall of fame singer's recent Twitter activity by having her host a talk show where she struggles to identify her celebrity guests Harry Styles (Chalamet),[...]

Chalamet's Harry Styles, Melissa Villaseñor's Billie Eilish, Chloe Fineman's Chalamet (lol), and Davidson's Machine Gun Kelly all hit their marks, but the sketch is all about Ego Nwodim's Dionne Warwick Not to SNL: this is definitely a sketch to keep going.     Michael Che and Colin Jost have this "Weekend Update" thing down, and it's all because of[...]

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[...]

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[...]

In the following two-promo clip, host John Mulaney and musical artist The Strokes are joined by SNL cast member Ego Nwodim to remind viewers of a few things (except the most obvious thing) Following that, Nwodim connects the dots between Mulaney's previous hosting gig and this one and… well… let's just say Mulaney has a[...]

Now, viewers are getting a chance to hear from Mulaney himself.
