After this weekend's show with host Martin Short and musical guest Hozier, NBC's Saturday Night Live will be taking a much-needed winter's nap – and the long-running late-night sketch comedy and music series is going to need it Along with the second half of the milestone season, the SNL team will also be doing a[...]

This weekend is it, folks! That's right, it's the final new show for NBC's Saturday Night Live this year before it takes a well-deserved midseason winter break (ahead of what's looking to be a very busy 50th anniversary-themed 2025) To wrap up the year, SNL & SCTV icon Martin Short (Hulu's Only Murders in the Building)[...]

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 were expecting Saturday Night Live host and alum Chris Rock to hold back in any way during his opening monologue tonight, those expectations were crushed about a minute into Rock's run From Jake Paul/Mike Tyson and Luigi Mangione – the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson – to Donald Trump[...]

With only two episodes remaining before NBC's Saturday Night Live takes a well-deserved midseason winter break (ahead of what's looking to be a very busy 50th anniversary-themed 2025), SNL alum and host Chris Rock and musical guest Gracie Abrams will be taking the stages of Studio 8H later tonight With that in mind, this week's SNL 50[...]

Before a new episode of Saturday Night Live hits our screens (with host Chris Rock and musical guest Gracie Abrams), the WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event is making a two-hour prime-time return in a very big way (with the next edition already set for January 25, 2025) We've got Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes taking on[...]

With it being the Thursday before a new show, we're usually expecting NBC's Saturday Night Live to drop on-stage promos with the host, the musical guest, and at least one SNL cast member – like what we're sure we're going to get later with SNL alum and host Chris Rock and musical guest Gracie Abrams[...]

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,[...]

That means NBC's Saturday Night Live is a little less than two weeks away from taking a much-needed winter break – but when the show returns in 2025? Well, that's when the Season 50 festivities really begin (more on that in a minute) But with a new show this week, it's time to turn our[...]

Regarding the creative atmosphere of Saturday Night Live, nothing seems to be off limits as far as impressions, including creator Lorne Michaels Among those lampooning him include alums like Dana Carvey, who's currently playing President Joe Biden, presumably until the end of his term in January 2025, and writer Robert Smigel, who voiced him during his TV[...]

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[...]

Before we say goodbye to 2024 and prepare ourselves for the possible opening of the Hellmouth in 2025, NBC's Saturday Night Live has three more shows to go Tonight, host Paul Mescal (Gladiator II) and musical guest Shaboozey will take the stages of Studio 8H On December 14th, Chris Rock will host, with musical guest Gracie Abrams[...]

With Paul Mescal (Gladiator II) and musical guest Shaboozey taking the stages of NBC's Saturday Night Live this weekend, we were already treated to Mescal's midweek sketch earlier today – with Devon Walker, Heidi Gardner, and (especially) Mikey Day learning the hard was just how much of a "method actor" Mescal can be (you can check[...]

After getting a look at the first promo for the three-hour 50th-anniversary primetime live special on NBC and Peacock honoring the long-running late-night sketch comedy and music series over Thanksgiving, we're learning who else will be joining December 7th's host Paul Mescal and musical guest Shaboozey when Saturday Night Live returns this weekend Well, now we[...]

Last week was one of those rare Saturday nights during an active season of NBC's Saturday Night Live when a repeat episode of SNL didn't air – so we took a break, too But with Nate Bargatze's recent hosting gig getting an encore showing tonight (and SNL 50 resuming next Saturday with host Paul Mescal[...]

During the cold open to the Bill Burr-hosted edition of Saturday Night Live from earlier this month (with musical guest Mk.gee), SNL's cast and writers made it clear with their mock "pledge of allegiance" to Trump that NBC's long-running late-night sketch comedy and music series wouldn't be pulling its punches anytime soon That was when we[...]

We were all set to wrap up our coverage of NBC's Saturday Night Live Season 50 until the week ahead of its December 7th return (with host Paul Mescal and musical guest Shaboozey) But then SNL put out not one… not two… but three "Cut For Time" sketches – what could we do? Honestly, we're surprised[...]

Sometimes, we have a hard time shutting down our Saturday Night Live coverage – especially with this being SNL's milestone 50th season (SNL returning on December 7th with host Paul Mescal and musical guest Shaboozey) But we can't stretch things out for three weeks, so consider this our "final-ish" one ahead of the already ongoing break[...]

After getting a look at a Cut for Time sketch from this past weekend's Saturday Night Live (returning on December 7th with host Paul Mescal and musical guest Shaboozey) featuring host/musical guest Charli XCX and Please Don't Destroy (Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy), we're back with two more updates that have one thing in common:[...]
