Well, it looks like NBC's Saturday Night Live is going to be keeping us busier over the holiday break than we were expecting – not that we're complaining!

But after two seasons as a cast member, three previous hosting gigs, and several guest appearances, we've got a feeling that Saturday Night Live host/alum Chris Rock will never be known for his sketch comedy work in front of the camera – and that was on display more than a few times during this weekend's[...]

If you've been following our coverage of NBC's Saturday Night Live, then you know that we've become huge fans of stand-up comedian, actor, and inevitable SNL Host "Five-Timer" Nate Bargatze So when the word came down back in October that he had inked a deal with Netflix for two comedy specials, we were excited to[...]

With Chris Rock and Gracie Abrams set for this weekend's edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live, Rock and SNL featured player Jane Wickline offered us a midweek sketch earlier today (which you can check out above) that dropped some interesting "facts" about the long-running late-night sketch comedy series and music series But it's Wednesday night,[...]

Thanks to a host who wholeheartedly gave himself over to "the process" and a musical guest who might've scored the best pair of live performances so far this season (high praise coming off of the musical magic that Chappell Roan brought), NBC's Saturday Night Live returned this weekend after a two-week break – but you[...]

NBC's Saturday Night Live returned tonight with host Paul Mescal (Gladiator II) and musical guest Shaboozey, and it wasted little time reminding everyone that this is the long-running late-night sketch comedy and music series' milestone 50th season by blending a beloved character from SNL's past with some very modern satirical targets. Dana Carvey returned as The Church Lady with[...]
