At this point, it feels like the question should be less about whether we're going to lose any Saturday Night Live cast members heading into Season 51 and more focused on how many At least, that's what social media and entertainment news sites would have you believe There were rumblings that Colin Jost would announce[...]

As we mentioned earlier tonight, NBC's Saturday Night Live is wrapping up Season 50 with host Scarlett Johansson (Jurassic World Rebirth) and musical guest Bad Bunny Of course, with this being the season finale, there's the crucial matter of "Weekend Update's'" Michael Che and Colin Jost's "joke swap" tradition that must be addressed Why? Because Johansson[...]

With NBC's Saturday Night Live wrapping up Season 50 tonight with host Scarlett Johansson (Jurassic World Rebirth) and musical guest Bad Bunny, we were wondering what SNL would be targeting with its final Cold Open until the fall Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) apparently found love in the Middle East with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman[...]

The combination of tonight's NBC's Saturday Night Live being the Season 50 finale and Scarlett Johansson (Jurassic World Rebirth) hosting (with Bad Bunny set as musical guest) could make for a very interesting end-of-the-season edition of "Weekend Update's'" Michael Che and Colin Jost's "joke swap" tradition (more on that in a minute) If you're new to[...]

By now, we all remember the drama that went down between NBC's Saturday Night Live and musical guest Morgan Wallen regarding how he exited the show during the "goodnights." As if exiting via the front of the stage while the show was still on the air wasn't questionable enough, Wallen's subsequent "Get me to God's country" post[...]

We're going to chalk up the penultimate episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live Season 50 as a combination of a bad case of the nerves and the SNL writers taking some big and very random creative swings this week It wasn't that it was a bad show; far from it, in fact (which I'll get[...]

From James Austin Johnson's Donald Trump celebrating his first 100 days with another round of executive orders, to host Quinta Brunson offering a look at the tragic (and masochistic) life and times of overlooked boxing legend Jerry "Jackrabbit" Tulane, there was a whole lot to like (if not love) about this weekend's return episode of[...]
