This is why we're glad we're still keeping our Saturday Night Live coverage active On the day when ex-reality show host and multi-impeached ex-POTUS learned 34 times over that he can now add "convicted felon" to his title, it only felt right that SNL star James Austin Johnson would check in via Instagram to[...]

With NBC's Saturday Night Live having recently wrapped its 49th season, we're starting a new series of posts that will run between now and when milestone Season 50 kicks off this fall In "SNL Second-Guessing," we're looking back at a sketch from the most recent season that either deserves reconsideration or more attention – with[...]

With NBC's Saturday Night Live having wrapped its 49th season earlier this month, we would have normally put our SNL coverage into summer storage for the next few months But as we've mentioned previously, this summer isn't quite the same as previous ones because this is the summer leading into the milestone 50th season We[...]

Earlier this week, NBC's Saturday Night Live (in conjunction with T-Mobile) shared a lineup of bloopers from the recently wrapped 49th season – and now, we have the second round for your viewing pleasure With the milestone Season 50 coming our way this fall, we're hoping to see a lot more of these behind-the-scenes looks over[...]

It always feels weird when a season of NBC's Saturday Night Live comes to an end Thankfully, there should be a lot more SNL-related buzz going on this summer as we head into the milestone 50th season – with a big weekend set for February 2025 that will include a live primetime celebration of the[...]

Shortly after, the issue ended up being a topic during Saturday Night Live co-head writers and "Weekend Update" anchors Colin Jost & Michael Che's "Joke Swap" this past weekend "ChatGPT has released a new voice assistant feature inspired by Scarlett Johansson's AI character in 'Her,'" Jost began the joke written by Che about Jost's wife,[...]

Earlier today, we wondered if Saturday Night Live co-head writers and "Weekend Update" anchors Colin Jost & Michael Che's "Joke Swap" was what finally got the attention of OpenAI regarding its new ChatGPT model that includes a Voice Mode "ChatGPT has released a new voice assistant feature inspired by Scarlett Johansson's AI character in 'Her,'" Jost[...]

  Did Saturday Night Live co-head writers and "Weekend Update" anchors Colin Jost & Michael Che's "Joke Swap" get the attention of OpenAI?

Of course, we're talking about the 20-episode 49th season of NBC's Saturday Night Live With a few months off before the long-running sketch comedy/music series returns for its milestone Season 50, it'll be interesting to learn over the summer what the plans are going to be, festivities-wise As we get ready to pack up our[...]

While I can more than understand why a lot of viewers are looking at Ryan Gosling, Mikey Day, Heidi Gardner, and Kenan Thompson-starring "Beavis and Butt-Head" as the best sketch of NBC's Saturday Night Live Season 49, this weekend's SNL season finale with host Jake Gyllenhaal and musical guest Sabrina Carpenter offered a sketch that[...]

When it comes to NBC's Saturday Night Live, the season finale is a pretty bittersweet affair On one hand, we're excited to see the SNL cast & writers getting some time to unwind, decompress, and pursue other projects – after a season like the one we just had, they've more than earned it On the[...]

Like what Crockett did to Greene – and why it almost feels like it was made for this weekend's season finale of NBC's Saturday Night Live – especially as an SNL cold open.

While we will readily admit that this weekend's edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live with host Maya Rudolph and musical guest Vampire Weekend didn't exactly work for us (as our review can attest), that doesn't mean that some of you out there didn't love it So it's with you in mind that we're passing along an[...]

When I heard that Maya Rudolph/Vampire Weekend and Jake Gyllenhaal/Sabrina Carpenter would be closing out the final two episodes of NBC's Saturday Night Live Season 49, I made what I thought was a pretty safe assumption – that the Jacob Elordi-hosted episode would end up holding onto the title of being the worst episode of[...]
