Though NBC's NBC's Saturday Night Live is currently on a break, we know that the long-running late-night sketch comedy/music series will be back on March 30th with host Ramy Youssef and musical guest Travis Scott heading to Studio 8H Now, we know how April will be kicking off for SNL – and it's going to be[...]

Look, it's not like NBC's Saturday Night Live didn't have a lot of pressure heading into this weekend's episode After course-correcting the season last weekend with host Sydney Sweeny & musical guest Kacey Musgraves, we hoped that Josh Brolin & Ariana Grande would build upon that momentum Because however this weekend's show went, it would[...]

With Josh Brolin and Ariana Grande serving as the third host/musical guest combo of three new shows in a row, we were wondering how long of a break NBC's Saturday Night Live would be taking after tonight Apparently, it will be the end of the month – with March 30th seeing host Ramy Youssef and[...]

When Thursday rolled around, we were treated to NBC's Saturday Night Live on-stage promos for this weekend's show – with host Josh Brolin & musical guest Ariana Grande joined by SNL star Chloe Fineman In the first promo, Brolin addressed that rumor about himself and his "Dune 2" co-star… no, his other co-star[...]

Far be it from us to tell the folks at NBC's Saturday Night Live what to do, and we know that we're less than 48 hours away from Josh Brolin and Ariana Grande taking the stages of Studio 8H But if there was ever a reason to scrap the cold open and go with something[...]

A major element in fitting into Saturday Night Live is to create memorable characters While it sounds like a no-brainer, people forget that there's such a revolving door with the NBC weekly late-night variety series because they never quite fit in Fortunately for alum Ana Gasteyer, she was able to churn out one of the[...]

So before we slap this week's Shane Gillis-hosted edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live onto the autopsy table, let's start off with a few positives – cool?
