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[...]

But the long-running late-night live sketch comedy and music series will be back before the end of the month – and SNL has an impressive lineup of hosts and musical guests on tap for three new shows in a row. March 29th: host Mikey Madison and musical guest Morgan Wallen; April 5th: host Jack Black and[...]

Oh, and the song f***ing rocks, by the way. Well, SNL – as it usually does – posted the performance on YouTube And since we were up covering SNL and had a feeling new music would be coming, we ran an article with the video That is, until the video of the performance was taken down[...]

Thanks to Netflix, Meryl Streep is now officially more badass than Rollins and Punk – and Peacock might be more "Attitude Era" than Netflix – thanks to NBC's Saturday Night Live.

It's not my fault – it's EP Lorne Michaels who keeps trying to sell us on Gillis being given a raw deal and how he was an SNL-worthy talent despite Gillis failing to prove Michaels right after two hosting gigs But if Michaels is right and Gillis was more than worthy of joining the cast,[...]

After a strong cold open, Gaga took to the stage for a monologue that was a perfect mix of laughs and cheers (way more than what could be said about last week's monologue). Image: SNL Screencap In terms of her history with SNL, Gaga was able to weave a laugh out of the uncomfortable fact that R[...]

This week, Lady Gaga is doing double duty as both host and musical guest – and for this round of promos, she's joined by SNL star Bowen Yang First up, Gaga understands that she's entering into Timothée Chalamet territory this weekend Following that, Gaga and Yang appreciate just how "fun" brand activations can be at[...]

With NBC's Saturday Night Live returning this weekend with host and musical guest Lady Gaga – pulling double duty for this go-around – we were treated to the SNL midweek sketch earlier today to kick off the road to Saturday's show In the clip above, Devon Walker, Ashley Padilla, Andrew Dismukes, and Heidi Gardner get a[...]

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 and cast That brings us to this weekend, one that sees Lady Gaga taking on the role[...]

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[...]

At this point, I'm not sure I want to hear any more from EP Lorne Michaels about what a great talent Gillis is and how he would've been a great addition to the SNL cast because Gillis hasn't offered us anything that would have us seeing what Michaels sees This wasn't just a bad outing[...]

Tonight's SNL (with host Shane Gillis and musical guest Tate McRae) cold open saw a re-enactment of the meeting this week in The White House's Oval Office between POTUS Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson), Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy (Mikey Day), Vice-President JD Vance (Bowen Yang), and Secretary of State Marco Rubio (Marcello Hernandez) – with[...]

It became a scandal, and I go, 'No, no, he's just starting, and he's really funny, and you don't know how we're going to use him.' And when he came back to the show last year [to host], we saw, 'Oh right, he's really talented, and he would've been really good for us.' Now, his life[...]

Finally, Wickline refers back to the previous promo regarding their names rhyming, which leads to Gillis giving McRae a name change. Image: SNL Screencap During the midweek sketch, Gillis made his way through Studio 8H and saw firsthand from Michael Longfellow, Emil Wakim, Ashley Padilla, Mikey Day, and Please Don't Destroy (Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin[...]

In the clip above, Gillis made his way through Studio 8H and saw firsthand from Michael Longfellow, Emil Wakim, Ashley Padilla, Mikey Day, and Please Don't Destroy (Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy) how everyone is still dealing with SNL50 hangover. SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE — Episode 1877 — Pictured: Ashley Padilla and host Shane Gillis during[...]

Making that case are Michael Longfellow, Emil Wakim, Ashley Padilla, Mikey Day, and Please Don't Destroy (Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy) – but decide for yourselves by checking out the promo above.

In honor of the reairing, we have a look at "Irish Americans," a Cut for Time sketch that sees an American couple (Andrew Dismukes and Ashley Padilla) representing what a lot of Americans think will happen when they visit Ireland.

Everyone got that? Great! As we mentioned earlier, we're getting a chance to look back to around this time one week ago when SNL50: The Homecoming Concert took over NYC's Radio City Music Hall and blew up Peacock with some serious streaming numbers To say that there were a ton of musical highlights would be an[...]

NBC's Saturday  Night Live gave itself a day off after its big primetime 50th-anniversary celebration before getting back to work on SNL Season 50 – and that included dropping some intel on our hosts and musical guests for the first two shows back On March 1st, Shane Gillis (Netflix's Tires) returns to host – with[...]

After the final credits rolled on SNL50: The Anniversary Special and the numbers were counted, 14.8 million viewers (with a 2.53 rating in the 18-49 demo) tuned in across both NBC and Peacock in time zone-adjusted Live + Same Day ratings While the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade still holds the top spot, the anniversary event[...]

If you got a chance to check out SNL50: The Anniversary Special on Sunday night, then you know that NBC's Saturday Night Live went above any beyond to offer an anniversary show worthy of the milestone moment One of the sketches that really hit home was "Black Jeopardy!," which saw Kenan Thompson, Eddie Murphy, Tracy Morgan, Leslie[...]

We had heard some rumblings that another "Scared Straight" sketch would be on the way during NBC's Saturday Night Live's big primetime event, SNL50: The Anniversary Special – and that's exactly what we got With Jason Sudeikis returning as the officer heading the program, three "teens" (Marcello Hernández, Mikey Day, and Michael Longfellow) arrested for shoplifting[...]

If there's one thing about NBC's Saturday Night Live and its SNL50: The Anniversary Special that's caught our attention, it was SNL's willingness to own up to some of its past "sins." For example, the "Black Jeopardy!" sketch called out SNL brutal track record when it comes to hiring writers and cast members of color[...]

NBC's Saturday Night Live allowed John Mulaney to offer a historical love letter (warts and all) to New York City during SNL50: The Anniversary Special, a star-studded effort After advising Pete Davidson and David Spade that "It's 1975 – New York is dying It's a bankrupt hell hole," Davidson chooses to stay (though Spade will make[...]

NBC's Saturday Night Live gave us an emotional musical moment during SNL50: The Anniversary Special that we didn't see coming – and we have Adam Sandler to thank for that We knew that we were in for something special when none other than Jack Nicholson appeared to introduce Sandler – and it wasn't long before Sandler was[...]
