If it's Wednesday, then it must be time for the midweek sketch – which makes sense since there is a new episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live this weekend (with stand-up comedian Shane Gillis and musical guest 21 Savage) In the clip above, Gillis gets a chance to workshop his monologue with SNL stars Marcello[...]

After a three-week break from what's already proving to be an "interesting" 2024 for NBC's Saturday Night Live, things are about to get a whole lot more "interesting" with a new show set for this weekend That means it's time for SNL to roll out the video welcome for host stand-up comedian Shane Gillis and musical[...]

For a while there, we felt like we were the only ones who sensed that there was a weird vibe around NBC's Saturday Night Live since it returned for the back half of Season 49 a few weeks back We had Dave Chappelle showing up at the end of the Dakota Johnson/Justin Timberlake show –[...]

I went into this weekend's edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live ready to review it – pretty much my game plan every time there's a new SNL Unfortunately, SNL proved to be its own worst enemy – with host Ayo Edebiri (The Bear), musical guest Jennifer Lopez, and the SNL team paying the price for it[...]

Well, we can definitely say that NBC's Saturday Night Live made some news tonight From the interesting decision to have controversial ex-SNL cast member Shane Gillis host when the show returns on February 24th to host Ayo Edebiri (The Bear) addressing some brutal comments she made about this weekend's musical guest Jennifer Lopez during a 2020[...]

NBC's Saturday Night Live might be making news tonight for all of the wrong reasons We learned that SNL won't be returning until February 24th – and when it does, musical guest 21 Savage will be joined by stand-up comedian Shane Gillis – a name that SNL fans might remember from a few years back[...]

With the 50th season of NBC's Saturday Night Live kicking off later this year, there's going to be a lot going on to celebrate the late-night sketch comedy/music series' half-century on our screens – including Sony Pictures' SNL 1975, a feature film focusing on what went into getting that first episode on our screens Directed[...]

Not to beat an issue to death, but to put into perspective just how different things were with this week's Saturday Night Live as compared to last week's Jacob Elordi/Reneé Rapp show?
