After Adam Driver & Olivia Rodrigo helped the SNL team offer up a show that ran dark & twisty  this past weekend, we've got SNL alum/comedy icon Kate McKinnon and musical guest Billie Eilish returning to Studio 8H to officially help NBC's Saturday Night Live wrap up the year in crazed comedic style[...]

Kate McKinnon and John Cameron Mitchell are bringing the energy that 2022 needs in an upcoming Peacock series, Joe vs Carole, (inspired by the "Tiger King" mystery made famous by Netflix's docuseries and based on the "Joe Exotic" podcast) set to premiere on March 3rd If you feel as though you recognize the names and/or[...]

What makes it paltry, you ask?

And when it comes to "grizzled lady detective," it really does seem like HBO is trying to corner the market (though Netflix proves how popular the theme is overseas)- and Kate McKinnon finds a way to do a take on all of them, all at once. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7TyLzU9178&t=22sVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Weekend Update:[...]
