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."

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[...]

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[...]
