Sometimes, we have a hard time shutting down our Saturday Night Live coverage – especially with this being SNL's milestone 50th season (SNL returning on December 7th with host Paul Mescal and musical guest Shaboozey) But we can't stretch things out for three weeks, so consider this our "final-ish" one ahead of the already ongoing break[...]

After getting a look at a Cut for Time sketch from this past weekend's Saturday Night Live (returning on December 7th with host Paul Mescal and musical guest Shaboozey) featuring host/musical guest Charli XCX and Please Don't Destroy (Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy), we're back with two more updates that have one thing in common:[...]

Before we pack away our coverage of NBC's Saturday Night Live Season 50 for the next three weeks (SNL returns on December 7th with host Paul Mescal and musical guest Shaboozey), we have a Cut For Time sketch from this weekend, where Charli XCX was a double threat as both host and musical guest In[...]

It's not like the team behind NBC's Saturday Night Live didn't already have a ton of pressure on its collective shoulders Along with this being the long-running late-night sketch comedy and music series' milestone 50th season and all, we had a U.S Presidential Election whose results proved that the nation needs SNL now more than[...]

After the credits roll on tonight's Charli XCX-hosted edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live, we were expecting that the long-running late-night sketch comedy and music series would be taking a few weeks off for the Thanksgiving holiday (and a much-needed break) And we were right, with SNL returning on December 7th with host Paul Mescal[...]

In case anyone thought that tonight's Charli XCX-hosted (and also musical guest) edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live was going to dial back on the politics just because of Trump, tonight's cold open put that to rest Set in The White House, the sketch is a take-off of Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) and President[...]

Welcome back to our latest edition of SNL 50 Pregame, where we look back on the Saturday Night Live history of the upcoming host and musical guest This week, the amazing Charli XCX is holding down double duty in what will most likely be the final new show before what's looking like a two-week holiday break[...]

That brings us to Thursday evening, which means it's time for the Saturday Night Live on-stage promos – with Charli XCX being joined by SNL star Marcello Hernández First up, the two share the truth about their real names – and we're not sure who surprised us more Following that, Charli XCX leaves it up[...]

After being joined by Saturday Night Live's Chloe Fineman and Emil Wakim for the midweek sketch earlier today, we're back to check out what SNL host and musical guest Charli XCX is up to Of course, with this being Wednesday night, that means it's time for the read-thru – and we have a look at[...]

Though a typical Saturday Night Live week usually kicks off on a Wednesday, let's face it S**t just ain't' "typical" anymore With that in mind, this weekend's host and musical guest, Charli XCX, is getting the SNL week started early – and on a personal note With NBC's long-running late-night sketch comedy and music series[...]

Back in August, Saturday Night Live star Bowen Yang checked in with Andy Cohen on Cohen's Watch What Happens Live on Bravo At one point during the show, Yang was asked about the worst behavior from an SNL host that they had ever witnessed Though not naming names, Yang described what went down as being "terrible"[...]

If you caught the cold open to this weekend's Bill Burr-hosted Saturday Night Live (with musical guest Mk.gee), then you know that the SNL cast and writers made it clear with their mock "pledge of allegiance" to Trump and NBC's long-running late-night sketch comedy and music series won't be pulling back anytime soon During the[...]

With the real nightmare officially getting underway after what we're assuming will be a Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan-fronted inaugural shindig in January, a whole lot of folks (myself included) were wondering how NBC's Saturday Night Live would respond this weekend (with host Bill Burr and the amazing Mk.gee as the musical guest) Would the[...]

Last week's Saturday Night Live was all about Maya Rudolph's "VP Kamala Harris" meeting up with the real VP Kamala Harris during a cold open that attracted a ton of attention just three days before America was asked to choose between democracy & freedom and fascism Well, as we all know by now, a large[...]

POTUS Election that will have Donald Trump returning to The White House for what looks to be four very painful years if you're not into living in a country that's just overflowing with all sorts of fascism, we have no idea what direction NBC's Saturday Night Live will take later tonight when it goes live[...]

With a whole lot of folks wondering how this weekend's edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live will address the results of the VP Harris/Trump election and the U.S.'s upcoming four-year love affair with fascism, host Bill Burr and musical guest Mk.gee were joined by SNL star Sarah Sherman for tonight's on-stage promos[...]

Normally, we take a break on Mondays from promoting NBC's Saturday Night Live when there's a new show on the way at the end of the week But with Tuesday finding the American people having to choose between freedom and democracy (VP Kamala Harris) and brutal fascism (ex-reality show host, multi-impeached ex-POTUS, and convicted felon[...]
