The success of the recurring sketches eventually led to a 2010 Universal Pictures film adaptation and the 2021 Peacock TV series sequel with Kristen Wiig (Vicki St Elmo) and Ryan Phillippe (Dixon Piper) solidified in those roles While promoting his indie comedy Aliens Abducted My Parents and I Feel Kinda Left Out for Sundance, Forte[...]

What makes it paltry, you ask? It includes only a digital copy of Ghostbusters: Answer the Call to add to the existing set containing a physical and digital copy of the Ivan Reitman-directed 1984 original, 1989 sequel Ghostbusters II, and Jason Reitman's Ghostbusters: Afterlife currently in theaters. Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, Kristen Wiig in[...]

I'll give credit to creators Will Forte (who also stars), John Solomon, and Jorma Taccone (both worked with Forte on SNL) to make it stretch across eight episodes on Peacock and actually showed the ability to allow its characters to develop.

SyFy Wire lobbed that very question to the cast and crew of the Peacock action-comedy MacGruber, which in part is an homage to the 80's action films with a whole lot of (mostly juvenile) comedy. MACGRUBER — Pictured in this screengrab: (l-r) Kristen Wiig as Vicki St Elmo, Will Forte as MacGruber, Ryan Phillippe as Dixon[...]

It was a reboot that starred Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, and Chris Hemsworth.

The streaming series actually picks up about 10 years following the 2010 film, which actually bombed at the box office, but developed a cult following.

MacGruber star Ryan Phillippe has a unique history with the franchise because the character he plays in Dixon Piper didn't originate from the original Saturday Night Live sketch that featured Will Forte as the title character and Kristen Wiig as his partner Vicki The original sketches found MacGruber, Vicki, and a random third person, usually[...]

A little more than a month after we learned who would be joining Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, and Ryan Phillippe on Peacock's eight-episode series MacGruber, we have some new names to add as well as a casting change to report First up, Billy Zane (True Story, Titanic) is joining the cast and replacing the previously-announced[...]

The skits feature Forte as the title character always trying to disarm a bomb in a remote area accompanied by Vicki (Kristen Wiig) and another character usually played by the SNL host. Images courtesy of Paramount and CBS The twist in this comedic parody is how easily distracted MacGruber becomes while precious seconds are lost and obviously,[...]

Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar is a new comedy starring Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo about two friends who…quip at each other and seem clueless I gotta be honest; even after watching the trailer, I just don't really know what the hell this film is supposed to be about It looks like[...]

However, unlike the first movie, the second act of Wonder Woman 1984 is not nearly as good as the second act of the first movie, and it's impossible not to compare the two of them." Wonder Woman 1984, directed by Patty Jenkins, stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen, and Gabriella Wilde. [...]

Pictures release. Wonder Woman 1984 Suffered from Same Issues as some Spider-Man Sequels Depending on how you feel about the 2007 Sam Raimi sequel in Spider-Man 3 and the 2014 Marc Webb's Amazing Spider-Man 2 where it overstretched itself too thin where it affected the development of the film's villains in Max Lord (Pedro Pascal) and Barbara[...]

One sketch that stood out was the one with Pete Davidson as The Grinch, rocking tighty-whities and trying to help host Kristen Wiig and Mikey Day's Whoville residents explain their way around the fact that The Grinch stayed over for a threesome when the kids (Kyle Mooney, Chloe Fineman) start asking questions This shouldn't have worked-[...]

But to get there, they had to wrap things up with the annual "holiday/we-already-have-one-foot-out-the-studio" episode- with SNL alum Kristen Wiig (Wonder Woman 1984) as host and Dua Lipa as the musical guest But the show didn't wait until 11:29 pm ET on Saturday to start getting everyone's attention, with news coming down earlier in the[...]

As if having Kristen Wiig as the host and Dua Lipa as the musical guest on the year-ending episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live would be newsworthy enough, we learned earlier today that Jim Carrey was stepping down from impersonating President-Elect Joe Biden on the long-running sketch comedy/music series Carrey joins a list of Biden[...]

NBC's Saturday Night Live is now only hours away from its year-ending holiday episode, with SNL alum Kristen Wiig (Wonder Woman 1984) and musical guest Dua Lipa taking the stage for what traditionally turns out to be one of the looser and loopier episodes (expect lots of sketch breaks) So with our fingers, toes, and other[...]

So far, NBC's Saturday Night Live has given us an announcement video welcoming host/SNL alum Kristen Wiig (Wonder Woman 1984) and musical guest Dua Lipa to Studio 8H this weekend's year-ending holiday episode Then, viewers got a chance to check out Wiig in the middle of a table read for the long-running sketch comedy/music series[...]

This year, that honor goes to Kristen Wiig (Wonder Woman 1984)- who, as you're about to see in the following post from the long-running sketch comedy/music series' social media accounts, has already taken a deep-dive into this week's table reads So you know what that means, right? Live promos and "Best of Kristen Wiig" stuff[...]

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[...]

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[...]

Joined by Vicki (Kristen Wiig) and usually the SNL host as another character, MacGruber always found himself in situations where he had to disarm a bomb After asking for his random items from paper clips to gum wrappers, something always distracted the hero in another direction While the other characters try to get MacGruber refocused,[...]

Paul Feig is laying the blame for the failure of Ghostbusters 2016 on the presidential election from that year.

There is apparently a three hour+ cut of the 2016 Ghostbusters film. Would you want to see it if it was released?

Kristen Wiig made all the sense in the world to host the season finale, except this time She's a comedic powerhouse who chews up the stage and screen every time she's out there, but having her in the "at home" format reminded me of how restrictive things actually are Along with that, the guest appearances[...]

NBC Universal is developing a "MacGruber" TV series for Peacock, based on the "Saturday Night Live" sketches with Will Forte as the MacGyver-knockoff.

Bridesmaids In a cast of luminaries including co-writer Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Wendi McLendon-Covey, and Ellie Kemper, and one of the funniest films of the last decade, McCarthy somehow manages to stick out as the best and the most memorable She's essentially batting cleanup on a team of all-stars– like being Babe Ruth on[...]
