Heading into a two-week break before returning on May 4th with host/musical guest Dua Lipa, NBC's Saturday Night Live had social media laughing its ass off this weekend – with the SNL cast, host Ryan Gosling, and musical guest Chris Stapleton offering up what might just be the best episode of the season so far[...]

Unfortunately, not every sketch was able to make it to our screens – but when we're talking about something as special as Papyrus 2 (penned by original SNL sketch writer Julio Torres), special considerations will be made At the end of Saturday night's episode, we got word that a sequel to the popular 2017 filmed sketch would[...]

By the time I got done laughing along with host Ryan Gosling, musical guest Chris Stapleton, and SNL's writers & cast for 90 minutes, I knew that there were folks out there who hated what they just watched Why? Because this weekend's edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live was a "break-fest" of epic proportions Imagine[...]

"Letting go feels like a breakup, and for processing a breakup, there's really only one thing that can help: the music of the great Taylor Swift," Gosling finally had to admit – and that's exactly what we got (with a loving homage to Taylor Swift's "All Too Well" – who says Gosling wasn't willing to[...]

When we were speculating over whether or not Beyoncé and/or Taylor Swift would make an appearance, we assumed that SNL would be taking two weeks off – meaning that Season 49 could wrap up with three episodes in May (putting the season's episode count in the 20-21 range) Were we right? So far, so good[...]

With Ryan Gosling returning to NBC's Saturday Night Live for his third hosting gig tonight (with musical guest Chris Stapleton), how could we not look back on the SNL role that would go on to have a huge impact on his career? Of course, we're talking about 2017's Season 43 opener (with musical guest Jay-Z),[...]

The first is SNL 1975 by Jason Reitman, which chronicles the timeline before the NBC variety series' first show, and the second will be based on The Chris Farley Show: A Biography in Three Acts, which celebrates the life of the late cast member, actor, and comedian who passed in 1997 A script is being[...]

With it being Wednesday night, our spotlight shifts to what's going on over at Studio 8H – meaning that it's time to see how things are going with Gosling and the cast during the SNL read-thru Here's a look: SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE — Episode 1861 — Pictured: Host Ryan Gosling during Promos on Tuesday, April 9,[...]

Later on this evening, we're getting a chance to check out Gosling and the SNL cast during the official read-thru for Saturday's show But before that, we have a midweek sketch waiting for you above In the clip above, we see just how big of a fan of Stapleton's Gosling is – but when the[...]

Kicking in at around the 2:30 mark in the video above, Ritchson doesn't hesitate to pick hosting the long-running late-night sketch comedy/music over the Oscars – making it clear that hosting SNL would be his "dream."
