UPDATE: NBC's Saturday Night Live didn't just reference the Morgan Wallen drama during the Cold Open (more on that below), with SNL "Weekend Update" Colin Jost discussing how Donald Trump's tariffs are hurting Wall Street: "Money is leaving the stock market faster than Morgan Wallen at Goodnights."

Leaving last weekend's Morgan Wallen drama behind, NBC's Saturday Night Live returned tonight with host Jack Black and musical guests Elton John and Brandi Carlile But with a whole lot going on this past week, a lot of folks were wondering what SNL had in store for its Cold Open With a tongue-in-cheek suck-up to Trump (James Austin[...]

Twitter owner and POtuS Donald Trump's right-hand DOGE-bag Elon Musk hasn't been a big fan of NBC's Saturday Night Live over the past few years – despite having hosted back in May 2021 (with musical guest Miley Cyrus) – and it started well before "Weekend Update," Dana Carvey, and Mike Myers, started calling out Musk[...]

On Wednesday, we were treated to NBC's Saturday Night Live midweek sketch, one which saw Ego Nwodim and Ashley Padilla kicking off a look at just how serious Jack Black is taking his role as SNL host for this weekend's show (which you can check out above) But in a case of better late than never,[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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."

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[...]

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[...]

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[...]
