On the Wallen side, sources say that the country music star doesn't have a beef with SNL and that there was no ill will on Wallen's part – either via the way he left the show or his follow-up post on Instagram (more on that below) In fact, some who attended the dress rehearsal noted[...]

We're so used to everybody just turning around and high-fiving us, everybody's saying, 'Good job, good job, good job.' So when there's a departure from that, it's like, 'Hmm, I wonder what that's about?'" In terms of his interactions with Wallen, Thompson shared that he "never met" Wallen, either this past weekend or during his[...]

As we wait to see if there's any fallout from NBC's Saturday Night Live musical guest Morgan Wallen's odd departure during the "goodnights" from last night's Mikey Madison (Anora)-hosted show, veteran SNL writer Josh Patten took to social media to make it clear that they have a different definition of "god's country." Though we go more[...]

Wallen would go on to apologize for what went down, and SNL EP Lorne Michaels would invite Wallen back as the musical guest later that same season during the December 5, 2020, show hosted by Jason Bateman. Now, we're jumping to this weekend, with Wallen joining host Mikey Madison (Anora) for SNL's return show from a two-week[...]

In the video, Wallen is seen doing shots in a crowded party where social distancing and masks were not in play and also seen kissing an unmasked woman. Wallen was contacted by the show and informed that he was being cut from the show "because of COVID protocols," but he said in his Instagram post that[...]

While promoting his latest film, Any Day Now, Gray spoke to Bleeding Cool about the Jason Reitman-directed biopic on the premiere episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live playing writer and player Al Franken, if he read for any other part, prep work, voiceovers, and why he would consider doing a musical.

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[...]

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).

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[...]
