When he's not busy stopping by NBC's Saturday Night Live Season 50 to offer a pretty great impression of Elon Musk (more on that below), Mike Myers is doing his part as a proud Canadian to make sure POtuS Donald Trump knows that Canada isn't anyone's "51st state." Following up on his sending the "Never[...]

During the cold open to the Bill Burr-hosted edition of Saturday Night Live from November 2024 (with musical guest Mk.gee), we were first introduced to Dana Carvey's take on POtuS Donald Trump's resident DOGE-bag Elon Musk – one that the Twitter overlord (and SNL host who reportedly made SNL star Chloe Fineman and others cry) wasn't[...]

After an amazing effort by Lady Gaga as host and musical guest, NBC's Saturday Night Live has been taking some time off – that's right, there isn't a new episode this weekend, either But the long-running late-night live sketch comedy and music series will be back before the end of the month – and SNL[...]

It was back in November 2024 when Chappell Roan was the musical guest on NBC's Saturday Night Live (with host John Mulaney) when her new song "The Giver" was first unveiled publically after Roan posted images of five Polaroids with one word on each image, reading "She Gets The Job Done," teasing that something was[...]

But after Lady Gaga pulled off doing double duty as both host and musical guest during last night's edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live, I can't help but compare what went down this week with what was served up last weekend by Shane Gillis It's not my fault – it's EP Lorne Michaels who keeps[...]

After a huge anniversary weekend celebration that included a concert at NYC's Radio City Music Hall, a complete reairing of the first show of what was then known simply as Saturday Night, and a three-hour-plus primetime celebration that still has folks talking, NBC's Saturday Night Live returned at the beginning of the month with host Shane Gillis[...]

  NBC's Saturday Night Live returned tonight with Lady Gaga doing double duty as both host and musical guest – and it didn't waste time kicking things off by twisting the knife on a juicy political story from this past week. The cold open addressed a report from The New York Times that "DOGE-bag" Elon Musk (Mike Myers)[...]

Okay, so maybe NBC's Saturday Night Live didn't have the best Season 50 return show post-50th-anniversary celebrations But if there's a major positive to take out of all of it, it mostly had to do with host Shane Gillis and EP Lorne Michaels and very little to do with musical guest Tate McRae and SNL's writers[...]

How is Bleeding Cool and NBC's Saturday Night Live connected to all of those? It was back in November 2024 when Roan was the musical guest on SNL (with host John Mulaney) when the single was first unveiled publically – after Roan posted images of five Polaroids with one word on each image – reading[...]

We've got Lady Gaga hosting and singing next week! As for this weekend's Season 50 return of NBC's Saturday Night Live with host Shane Gillis and musical guest Tate McRae? Yeah – it wasn't good At this point, I'm not sure I want to hear any more from EP Lorne Michaels about what a great[...]

The big focus? That Zelenskyy wasn't just not thanking them enough for supporting Ukraine, but he wasn't spending nearly enough time complimenting them on how handsome and sexy they are. SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE/SNL (Image: Twitter Screencap) A personal highlight? The way Yang handled Vance's various over-the-top freak-outs about Zelenskyy not being appreciative enough and making them look[...]

And the velocity of cancellation — and lots of people deserved to not be liked — it just became not quite the Reign of Terror, but it was like you're judging everybody on every position they have on every issue as opposed to, 'Are they any good at the thing they do?' I do think[...]

Vincent, Kim Gordon, Joan Jett, and Violet Grohl sing lead in honor of Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, Pat Smear, and Malone formed Post Nirvana (as they were introduced by Adam Sandler) for a performance of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" – and the performance was electric!

If there's one thing about NBC's Saturday Night Live and its SNL50: The Anniversary Special that's caught our attention, it was SNL's willingness to own up to some of its past "sins." For example, the "Black Jeopardy!" sketch called out SNL brutal track record when it comes to hiring writers and cast members of color[...]

NBC's Saturday Night Live allowed John Mulaney to offer a historical love letter (warts and all) to New York City during SNL50: The Anniversary Special, a star-studded effort After advising Pete Davidson and David Spade that "It's 1975 – New York is dying It's a bankrupt hell hole," Davidson chooses to stay (though Spade will make[...]

NBC's Saturday Night Live gave us an emotional musical moment during SNL50: The Anniversary Special that we didn't see coming – and we have Adam Sandler to thank for that We knew that we were in for something special when none other than Jack Nicholson appeared to introduce Sandler – and it wasn't long before Sandler was[...]

NBC's Saturday Night Live brought back Kate McKinnon's Colleen Rafferty during SNL50: The Anniversary Special for an all-star edition of McKinnon's "Alien Abduction" series of sketches We're saying all-star because we have Jon Hamm and Aidy Bryant as the government official and scientist, respectively, questioning three abductees about their experiences – McKinnon's Colleen, along with[...]
