Each sketch he was in felt more like something he was working to get through, rather than living in the comedic moment and having fun. SNL (Image: SNL/SNL YouTube Screencaps) The "Auctioneers" sketch was a perfect example of this Sarah Sherman had just as much comedic heavy-lifting to do as Damon did, but I never thought of[...]

After checking out what Saturday Night Live UK had to offer cold open-wise earlier today, it's time to see what NBC's SNL has in store for us With host Matt Damon and musical guest Noah Kahan on tap for the first of the final two shows of Season 51 before SNL heads off into its[...]

With that in mind, here's a look back at Damon's and Kahan's respective previous appearances, a recap of the past week, and more (including the first four episodes of the really cool original digital series "The Rundown"): Image: SNL Screencap SNL Rewind: Matt Damon & Noah Kahan's Previous Appearances Matt Damon: Though this weekend counts as his third[...]

With only two shows to go for the first season of SNL UK and the 51st season of SNL, we're down to two cold opens each before both shows shut down for the summer Thankfully, we can now rest assured that there will be more double doses of SNL this fall, with the UK edition[...]

The biggest news is that SNL UK will be back beginning this September for a 12-show second season (maybe more?) Next week, the first season wraps up with Ncuti Gatwa (Doctor Who) as host and Holly Humberstone as the musical guest But before we get to any of that, Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso) and musical guest Myles Smith[...]

Now, with NBC's Saturday Night Live kicking off the first of its final two Season 51 shows this weekend, host Matt Damon and musical guest Noah Kahan are joined by SNL star (and Please Don't Destroy member) Ben Marshall for this week's on-stage promos We've got fears of a Good Will Hunting joke, Damon getting[...]

Even as we inch closer to this weekend's edition of the recently renewed Saturday Night Live UK, with host Hannah Waddingham (Apple TV's Ted Lasso) and musical guest Myles Smith, viewers are still talking about SNL UK star George Fouracres and the "British Pork" sketch Shortly after it aired, Fouracres took to social media to[...]

SNL UK will be back for a 12-episode second series, with the new series kicking off in September SNL and SNL UK EP Lorne Michaels shared in a statement, "I'm incredibly proud of our team and the show It keeps getting better every week I'm grateful to Dana Strong and Sky for believing in and[...]

After yesterday's midweek sketch (more on that in a minute), Waddingham and the SNL UK cast are checking in from the table read for this weekend's show. Image: Sky Screencap And don't forget that SNL UK wraps up its first season on May 16th, with Ncuti Gatwa as host and Holly Humberstone as the musical guest[...]

On both sides of the Atlantic, we're down to our final shows – which means it's going to suck twice as much saying goodbye to SNL and SNL UK on May 16th But before we get to that, we still have this weekend to enjoy In the U.S., we've got Matt Damon on tap as host,[...]

From the opening show, we've found a whole lot to love about SNL UK Being on this side of the Atlantic, we will readily admit that there are quite a few UK-specific references along the way that get lost on us – at least, until we look them up The fact that we want to[...]

NBC's Saturday Night Live was back this weekend with host and musical guest Olivia Rodrigo, as SNL kicks off its final three shows before wrapping up Season 51 for the summer If we had to describe last night's effort in one word, that would be "fun." It was clear that Rodrigo was enjoying her time[...]

Of course, before we get to Rodrigo's monologue, we have the very important matter of the SNL Cold Open to check out At this point, what didn't happen this week that SNL couldn't target – especially when it comes to the Trump Administration? Maybe a take on the Scott Jennings/Adam Mockler incident from CNN? Maybe[...]

But before we get to that, global phenomenon Olivia Rodrigo will take to the stage of Studio 8H as both SNL host and musical guest To help set the mood, we have a look back at Rodrigo's previous appearances, a recap of the past week, and more Also, we have some insights from Rodrigo about[...]

After host Aimee Lou Wood and musical guest Meek take to the stage this weekend, SNL UK will only have two remaining shows left for its first season – and it is going on strong Here's a look at who's on tap, announced earlier today: On May 9th, Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso) hosts, with Myles[...]

And with it being Thursday, that means it's time for the Studio 8H on-stage promos – with Rodrigo joined by SNL star Ashley Padilla For this go-around, we're getting a longer-than-usual collection of clips that… well, they're pretty much all over the place (in a good way) We have Padilla hinting at a shady subway[...]

With SNL UK returning this weekend with host Aimee Lou Wood and musical guest Meek, we've had a chance to see Wood in action with the SNL UK Midweek Sketch and in the midst of the show table read Now, Meek is joining Wood and SNL UK star Ania Magliano for the on-stage promo, with Wood[...]

But now, it's time to get down to business – and that's exactly what Rodrigo and the SNL cast & writers did, checking in on social media during their table read for this weekend's return show. SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE — Episode 1902 — Pictured: Host Olivia Rodrigo during Promos on Tuesday, April 28, 2026 — (Photo[...]

Not looking to let SNL UK have all of the fun, NBC's Saturday Night Live returns this weekend for the first of its final three Season 51 shows This weekend, Olivia Rodrigo will serve as host and musical guest On May 9th, Matt Damon will host, with Noah Kahan as the musical guest Finally, the[...]

At this point, it's no secret that Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul, Nobody) is the man responsible for the iconic SNL Matt Foley sketch, but only recently did we find out how that sketch came to be For years, people have talked up how Odenkirk, long before he co-created Mr Show on HBO with David[...]

After the drama that went down between The White Lotus star and how she was depicted in an SNL sketch that imagined what HBO's hit series would be like in Donald Trump's universe ("The White POTUS," which you can check out above), we were curious to see how the week would kick off with SNL[...]

Whatever the reason, actor, comedian, and SNL alum Kevin Nealon has a bone to pick with DeVito – and he wants to settle in the squared circle Earlier today, Nealon took to social media to throw out the challenge, whether it be in AEW or WWE Well, it didn't take long for Nealon's thrown gauntlet[...]

It might not be a "Five-Timers Club" jacket, but we're ready to give upcoming Saturday Night Live UK host Nicola Coughlan the award for having the best table read image we've seen by anyone hosting SNL UK or SNL Most of the time, the host is smiling while reading or looking off-camera – very simple, very standard[...]

The sketches were so popular that Schwarzenegger appeared in the SNL season 17 episode in 1991 to endorse the duo, and according to Nealon, he was supposed to join a proposed feature adaptation film like Carvey's other popular SNL duo franchise with Mike Myers in Wayne's World. Dana Carvey, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Kevin Nealon in "Saturday[...]

To help kick off the return week, we've got an SNL UK Midweek Sketch that sees Coughlan taking a trip down memory lane – fondly embracing the studio's sights and sounds as if it were yesterday (instead of the four weeks since she was last there) You can understand why SNL UK stars Annabel Marlow[...]

When you look at the pantheon of content SNL has produced over the years, it's hard to tell sometimes whether the joke lands or is forgotten over time Sometimes you'll watch an episode from the archives or see a clip come up in rotation on YouTube, and you see Norm Macdonald doing an impression of[...]

30 Rock creator Tina Fey wasn't exactly sugarcoating how much her character, creator-writer Liz Lemon, and Alec Baldwin's NBC executive Jack Donaghy are based on her own relationship with SNL mastermind Lorne Michaels during her time on the weekly NBC late-night series The NBC sitcom follows the misadventures of its series, TGS, in a tongue-in-cheek look[...]

Our concern was that SNL UK wouldn't be given a chance to succeed; that it would be quickly written off by the British press as an attempt by the US to tell the UK how to do sketch comedy Thankfully, the SNL UK team put that concern to rest with a run of shows that[...]

While taking a well-deserved one-week break, Sky and NOW's Saturday Night Live UK offered us a look at what the future holds when SNL UK returns On April 25th, Nicola Coughlan begins her journey to the "Five-Timers" Club as host, with the Foo Fighters as the musical guest Following that, on May 2nd, we have host[...]
