NBC's Saturday Night Live continued feeding our need for SNL stuff during the midseason break with the latest edition of "SNL: 50 Seasons in 50 Days."

"Kavanaugh Hearing Cold Open," which saw the less-than-worthy Judge Brett Kavanaugh (Matt Damon) put[...]

But SNL wasn't quite done yet, returning a little more than a month later for three special shows (April 11th & 25th, May 9th) under the umbrella of "Saturday Night Live at Home," essentially stepping into the void and giving people something to smile about – even for a little while So, it's only fitting[...]

Over this past weekend, the long-running late-night sketch comedy and music series kicked off a new series on social media: "SNL: 50 Seasons in 50 Days."

That means it's time to bring back "SNL 50 Rewind," where we look back on something related to the episode that's being reaired on Saturday night For example, tonight looks back at Ariana Grande's hosting turn from back in October (with musical guest Stevie Nicks) – so that seemed like a great time to look[...]

We won't spoil where it goes, but let's just say that it embraces its "inner Tarantino" (and yes, that's Lucy Liu in a role we have a feeling will look very familiar to you). Image: SNL Screencap – with host Martin Short (Hulu's Only Murders in the Building) and musical guest Hozier  – hits the final credits,[...]

But with this being SNL's milestone 50th season, there is even more reason for there to be pressure because 2025 is already filled with a lineup of docuseries, documentaries, tribute shows, and more to honor what SNL has achieved over a half-century. How did official "Five-Timer" Martin Short (Hulu's Only Murders in the Building) and musical[...]

We don't want to give too much away, but some of the highlights? Image: SNL Screencap At one point, they all take turns confessing something, with Rudd admitting Ant-Man has pretty weak powers, Fey taking responsibility for the drones in New Jersey, Hanks admitting he never had COVID (with Johansson admitting she does have it), and Baldwin[...]

Thankfully, much of that was counterbalanced by an SNL cast that stepped up in some very big ways, a writing team's lineup of filmed and live sketches that offered something for every comedic taste, and an opening monologue from Rock that was part comedy, part reality check, part wake-up call With that in mind, here's[...]
