Even with the promotional machine getting ready to be unleashed tomorrow for this weekend's host, Jack Black, and musical guests, Elton John & Brandi Carlile, this past weekend's edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live and the questions surrounding how musical guest Morgan Wallen handled their exit during the "goodnight" at the end of the show[...]

It was an odd way for something as simple as a "goodnight" to go down, vibing as if Wallen either suddenly got lost or was looking to get away from SNL sooner rather than later. Thank you, Mikey Madison and @MorganWallen! Goodnight! pic.twitter.com/FDlInhhHqb — Saturday Night Live – SNL (@nbcsnl) March 30, 2025 Did Wallen have issues with[...]

As we wait to see if there's any fallout from NBC's Saturday Night Live musical guest Morgan Wallen's odd departure during the "goodnights" from last night's Mikey Madison (Anora)-hosted show, veteran SNL writer Josh Patten took to social media to make it clear that they have a different definition of "god's country." Though we go more[...]

So here's a really brief history of NBC's Saturday Night Live and country music singer Morgan Wallen During Season 46, Wallen was set to be the musical guest alongside host Bill Burr, but that changed when a TikTok video of the country music artist at a house party minus a mask began circulating on social media,[...]

Bill Murray wasn't part of the initial "Not Ready for Primetime Players" lineup of Saturday Night Live, joining in season two, but he's every bit as invaluable to the late-night variety series' legacy as the original crew The actor and comedian, who's starring in the dark comedy Riff Raff, appeared on the Howard Stern Radio Show to reflect[...]

While promoting his latest film, Any Day Now, Gray spoke to Bleeding Cool about the Jason Reitman-directed biopic on the premiere episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live playing writer and player Al Franken, if he read for any other part, prep work, voiceovers, and why he would consider doing a musical.

When he's not busy stopping by NBC's Saturday Night Live Season 50 to offer a pretty great impression of Elon Musk (more on that below), Mike Myers is doing his part as a proud Canadian to make sure POtuS Donald Trump knows that Canada isn't anyone's "51st state." Following up on his sending the "Never[...]

During the cold open to the Bill Burr-hosted edition of Saturday Night Live from November 2024 (with musical guest Mk.gee), we were first introduced to Dana Carvey's take on POtuS Donald Trump's resident DOGE-bag Elon Musk – one that the Twitter overlord (and SNL host who reportedly made SNL star Chloe Fineman and others cry) wasn't[...]

After an amazing effort by Lady Gaga as host and musical guest, NBC's Saturday Night Live has been taking some time off – that's right, there isn't a new episode this weekend, either But the long-running late-night live sketch comedy and music series will be back before the end of the month – and SNL[...]

It was back in November 2024 when Chappell Roan was the musical guest on NBC's Saturday Night Live (with host John Mulaney) when her new song "The Giver" was first unveiled publically after Roan posted images of five Polaroids with one word on each image, reading "She Gets The Job Done," teasing that something was[...]

But after Lady Gaga pulled off doing double duty as both host and musical guest during last night's edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live, I can't help but compare what went down this week with what was served up last weekend by Shane Gillis It's not my fault – it's EP Lorne Michaels who keeps[...]

After a huge anniversary weekend celebration that included a concert at NYC's Radio City Music Hall, a complete reairing of the first show of what was then known simply as Saturday Night, and a three-hour-plus primetime celebration that still has folks talking, NBC's Saturday Night Live returned at the beginning of the month with host Shane Gillis[...]

  NBC's Saturday Night Live returned tonight with Lady Gaga doing double duty as both host and musical guest – and it didn't waste time kicking things off by twisting the knife on a juicy political story from this past week. The cold open addressed a report from The New York Times that "DOGE-bag" Elon Musk (Mike Myers)[...]

Okay, so maybe NBC's Saturday Night Live didn't have the best Season 50 return show post-50th-anniversary celebrations But if there's a major positive to take out of all of it, it mostly had to do with host Shane Gillis and EP Lorne Michaels and very little to do with musical guest Tate McRae and SNL's writers[...]

How is Bleeding Cool and NBC's Saturday Night Live connected to all of those? It was back in November 2024 when Roan was the musical guest on SNL (with host John Mulaney) when the single was first unveiled publically – after Roan posted images of five Polaroids with one word on each image – reading[...]

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE/SNL (Image: Twitter Screencap) A personal highlight? The way Yang handled Vance's various over-the-top freak-outs about Zelenskyy not being appreciative enough and making them look[...]
