Now, it's time to see how things are going for Edebiri during the official read-thru for the weekend with the SNL case & writers.

But just when they seem ready to throw in the towel, Edebiri offers an inspiring (if not exactly truthful) inspirational pep talk that might've just saved SNL (though we're thinking Lopez had a lot to do with it, too).

After an unexpectedly newsworthy Monday, we're back on track with a new episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live Season 49 on the way this weekend Ahead of what we're expecting will be the last live show before a break (unless SNL is working Super Bowl weekend), we have host Ayo Edebiri (The Bear) & musical guest[...]

Only minutes after we posted the midweek sketch ahead of this weekend's NBC's Saturday Night Live with host/Madame Web star Dakota Johnson and musical guest Justin Timberlake, SNL broke out the index cards & the corkboard to let us know that Ayo Edebiri (The Bear) is set to host on February 3rd – and will be[...]

First, we get to congratulate Bad Bunny, who gets to move out of the Season 49 basement as the worst show this season so far Second, next week's host Dakota Johnson (Madame Web), and musical guest Justin Timberlake were presented with a bar set so low they could crawl over it Yeah, this wasn't a[...]

But when it's clear that he's overthinking things, SNL stars Marcello Hernandez & Punkie Johnson step in to lend a hand – we think? Back in November 2023, SNL fans got a chance to check out the official Season 49 cast image that was taken by Photographer Mary Ellen Matthews – here's a look: SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE[...]

We're going to be keeping our radar set for Thursday's on-stage promos – and between tomorrow and Saturday night, we should start getting a clearer picture of how the rest of Season 49 is shaping up.

After what we're sure didn't feel like a "long winter's nap" to the long-running late-night sketch comedy/music series, NBC's Saturday Night Live returns for its final run of Season 49 episodes After getting the "red carpet welcome video" treatment on Tuesday – and with a look at the read-thru for this weekend's episode expected later[...]

A return-from-break episode with a host that I actually have no vibe on going into the weekend could make for a fun surprise – but Rapp has already proven themselves to be a strong musical presence (and a one-person promo machine) to things should be good on that front.

Even with SNL alum/comedy icon & host Kate McKinnon & musical guest Billie Eilish wrapping up 2023 for NBC's Saturday Night Live as we're writing this, SNL has given us a heads-up on when Season 49 will resume Make sure to mark your calendars for Saturday, January 20th – with host Jacob Elordi (Euphoria, Priscilla) and musical[...]

There was a whole lot to like about this weekend's show – the first of three before the Season 49 midseason break And while it's not a competition, Stone, musical guest Noah Kahan, and SNL's cast & writers definitely set a high bar for Adam Driver & Olivia Rodrigo to clear next weekend and Kate McKinnon[...]

Instead of making us wait until this weekend when host Emma Stone (Showtime's The Curse) and musical guest Noah Kahan take the stages of Studio 8H to let us know who's on tap and when fro the remainder of the year, SNL confirmed earlier today that Season 49 has two more shows after this weekend before[...]

But there was one very important formality that needed to be addressed – the official Season 49 cast image taken by Photographer Mary Ellen Matthews Here's a look at how it turned out: SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE — Season 49 Cast Shot — Pictured: (top row l-r) Andrew Dismukes, Punkie Johnson, James Austin Johnson, Marcello Hernandez, Ego[...]

It wasn't that this weekend's Saturday Night Live was bad, but it felt like there was a disconnect between host Jason Momoa & the SNL team.

For what it's worth, that would be a very cool thing to share on Saturdays moving forward… Image: SNL Screencap Here's a look at Chalamet, Yang, and boygenius from this week's on-stage promo – followed by a mini blooper clip showing some of what didn't make the cut: Promo bloopers with @RealChalamet, @xboygeniusx, and Bowen! pic.twitter.com/F1NOjdWat8 — Saturday Night[...]

After three episodes, it looks like NBC's Saturday Night Live Season 49 is back on some serious comedic footing once again After a strong season-opener with SNL alum Pete Davidson & musical guest Ice Spice, the show took a step back the following week with host & musical guest Bad Bunny Thankfully, Halloween weekend host/stand-up comedian[...]

Saturday Night Live host Nate Bargatze, musical guest Foo Fighters, and the SNL team got Season 49 back on track just in time for Halloween.

Even with first-time host/stand-up comedian Nate Bargatze and musical guest Foo Fighters (Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, Rami Jaffee, and Josh Freese) offering up some tricks & treats from the stages of Studio 8H this Halloween weekend, it's never too soon to start looking ahead to the rest of NBC's Saturday Night Live[...]

So far, NBC's Saturday Night Live Season 49 has given us SNL alum Pete Davidson (Peacock's Bupkis) & musical guest Ice Spice for the season-opener, followed by host/musical guest Bad Bunny during the second episode That means we have a third episode on tap for this weekend – with first-time host/stand-up comedian Nate Bargatze and musical[...]

NBC's Saturday Night Live had a rough Season 49 outing with host/musical guest Bad Bunny that even the SNL cast couldn't completely save.

After a solid Season 49 start that kicked off with host/SNL alum Pete Davidson, musical guest Ice Spice, the debut of newest feature player Chloe Troast, and surprise appearances from Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce (and that's not even close to everything), NBC's Saturday Night Live returns this Saturday – with singer/rapper/songwriter/actor-part-time pro-wrestler Bad Bunny[...]

With only days to go until NBC's Saturday Night Live kicks off Season 49 with host/SNL alum Pete Davidson & musical guest Ice Spice, it's time for our favorite part of every lead-in week Yup, the on-set promos that feature the host, musical guest, and one or more SNL cast members For this go-around, Kenan Thompson[...]

In addition, there have been rumblings that James Austin Johnson & Sarah Sherman have been promoted from feature players to the main cast for Season 49 (though nothing has been officially confirmed so far) And all of that leads to one thing – today is the official start of the SNL Season 49 marketing machine[...]

And for NBC's Saturday Night Live, it's been a particularly busy week with the news that Season 49 would be kicking off this month – with SAG-AFTRA's blessing (more on that in a minute). October 14th sees SNL alum Pete Davidson & musical guest Ice Spice taking the stages of Studio 8H, while October 21st brings Bad[...]

Well, it looks like all of that speculation over when NBC's Saturday Night Live would kick off Season 49 can be put to rest because SNL is returning a week from this Saturday for the first of at least two new episodes October 14th sees SNL alum Pete Davidson & musical guest Ice Spice, while[...]
