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[...]

After getting their official "red carpet" welcome video from NBC's Saturday Night Live on Tuesday, host/Madame Web star Dakota Johnson and musical guest Justin Timberlake are now officially in the middle of the big push for this weekend's edition of SNL That brings us to today's midweek sketch, with Johnson offering a twisted tour of[...]

Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings would love Emma Stone to take the test and compete as a contestant on the show - and not the celebrity version.

So let's kick things off on the right note with a look at the official SNL welcome video for Johnson & Timberlake – with the midweek sketch & read-thru heading our way tomorrow.

Well, it turns out that "Pimp My Ride" was cut for time – and now it's an SNL Cut for Time release In the clip above, the guys look to help 30 Rock janitor Sergei (Elordi) pimp out his ride – but despite a warning from Pimp My Ride legend Xzibit, things take a fiery[...]

In more blunt terms? I would be surprised to see him sporting a "Five-Timers" robe anytime soon. But most of the blame falls on the SNL Cast & writers for taking a single premise ("Guess what? Jacob Elordi's hot!") and comedically beating it to death over the course of ninety minutes The show felt like the[...]

Now, Johnson hosting again wasn't a surprise – especially with Madame Web on the way – and Timberlake appearing on SNL just feels like an afterthought at this point But as the musical guest? In case the news wasn't enough to confirm that the former NSYNC member had some new music on the way, Timberlake[...]

Before SNL host Jacob Elordi and musical guest Reneé Rapp take the stages of NBC's Saturday Night Live this weekend, we already know who's on tap for next weekend Earlier today, the SNL index cards hit the corkboard to confirm that Dakota Johnson (Madame Web) will host on January 27th with musical guest Justin Timberlake.

When there is a new episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live set for the weekend and it's the Thursday evening before said weekend? Well, that can only mean one thing – it's time for the on-stage promos!

In the following clip, Elordi appreciates just how huge of an opportunity it is to host, so he wants to make sure his first SNL steps are memorable ones But when it's clear that he's overthinking things, SNL stars Marcello Hernandez & Punkie Johnson step in to lend a hand – we think?

But thanks to tonight's Emmy Awards, we were able to get a little nostalgic SNL goodness from Tina Fey and Amy Poehler After Jimmy Fallon and before Seth Meyers, Fey & Poehler were "Weekend Update" anchors from 2004-2006 – and hall-of-fame-worthy every time To present the award for Outstanding Live Variety Special, the duo was[...]

NBC's Saturday Night Live said goodbye to 2023 and hello to a holiday break this past weekend, with SNL alum/comedy icon & host Kate McKinnon & musical guest Billie Eilish doing their part to end things on a festive & funny note But not every sketch that was in play that week made it to air[...]

We had high hopes when we learned that Saturday Night Live alum, actor & comedian Kate McKinnon and musical guest Billie Eilish would be taking the stages of Studio 8H to help the SNL fam end the year on a strong note before shuffling off to their midseason break (returning on January 20th) And what[...]

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[...]

With SNL alum Kate McKinnon hosting and Billie Eilish set as the musical guest, we're feeling really good about what we can expect by the time everyone takes their final bow for the year But before we get to that, NBC is airing A Saturday Night Christmas Special tonight beginning at 9 pm ET –[...]

Earlier today, we got a chance to check out SNL alum/comedy icon & host Kate McKinnon setting a new standard when it comes to midweek sketches moving forward (more on that below) But with it being Wednesday night, it's time to take a look behind the scenes at how this weekend's midseason finale of NBC's Saturday Night[...]

We're already liking the tone that SNL alum/comedy icon & host Kate McKinnon is setting with their midweek sketch promoting this weekend's midseason finale of NBC's Saturday Night Live None of this "gone-in-sixty-seconds" stuff – McKinnon breaks past the one-minute mark And forget starting things in Studio 8H – been there, done that[...]

After Adam Driver & Olivia Rodrigo helped the SNL team offer up a show that ran dark & twisty  this past weekend, we've got SNL alum/comedy icon Kate McKinnon and musical guest Billie Eilish returning to Studio 8H to officially help NBC's Saturday Night Live wrap up the year in crazed comedic style[...]

Unfortunately, not every sketch is able to make it to air from the final rehearsal – but every now and then? SNL releases a "Cut for Time" sketch – but for this go-around, we're actually getting two unaired sketches. In "Court Case," Driver's defendant pleads his case in court to a very receptive jury – but[...]

This weekend's SNL vibed like a holiday episode for those who are just about f***ing done with the holidays, the depressing end-of-the-year look-backs, and everything else that avalanches upon us during the final month of the year And to that, I say – thank you Some folks out there seem to forget that when SNL[...]

Of course, we have a look at the two "Undercover Boss" sketches – but we've also included a look at two monologues with some great lines & moments that don't get brought up enough.
