After a two-week break, Lorne Michaels & SNL's Saturday Night Live is back this week with a new show, and we're more excited than usual for it First, it's nice to have SNL back And then, on top of that, we have Keke Palmer (Nope) set to host, with musical guest SZA also taking the stages[...]

But there was something I left out of last week's post that's been gnawing at me over the past week, mostly because it's an important point to raise when discussing SNL and the WWE (known as the WWF back in those days) As much as being on Saturday night on a major network was a[...]

And with SNL on hiatus until December 3rd (with host Keke Palmer and musical guest SZA set to take the stage), it couldn't a more perfect weekend to look back to March 18, 2000 That's when Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson hosted (with musical guest AC/DC), beginning a multimedia crossover mission that's proven quite successful over[...]

Michael Straczynski offering a Babylon 5/The CW update, Paramount Network's Yellowstone getting a bad rap for being "anti-woke" from folks who clearly never watched it, and Saturday Night Live & Dave Chappelle getting called out for Chappelle's opening monologue.

Why are Jewish sensitivities denied or diminished at almost every turn? Why does our trauma trigger applause?" Greenblatt wrote in a tweet earlier today in response to Chappelle's monologue. We shouldn't expect @DaveChappelle to serve as society's moral compass, but disturbing to see @nbcsnl not just normalize but popularize #antisemitism Why are Jewish sensitivities denied or[...]

But that said? This was an excellent way for SNL to go on a two-week break (returning December 3rd with host Keke Palmer (Nope) and musical artist SZA) and another example of how the show will religiously up its game to match the vibe of that show's host And in a sea of highlights, it[...]

With comedian & actor Dave Chappelle hosting (accompanied by musical guest Black Star) this weekend's edition of Lorne Michaels & SNL's Saturday Night Live, we've been taking a look at the calendar to figure out when we would be getting a new episode If SNL takes a two-week break, then our next new show wouldn't[...]

Well, thanks to rapper, "Law & Order" franchise actor, and one of the best ensemble characters in six seasons of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty, Ice-T, we're getting the heads-up that we can expect him to hit our screens on Saturday Night. Image: NBC Screencap; Adult Swim screencap Here's a look at Ice-T's ten-ton hint via Instagram[...]

And even better, the trio is joined by one of our favorite SNL cast members, Ego Nwodim. Image: SNL Screencap In the first sketch, Nwodim tries linking up with Chappelle's Thanksgiving plans Following that, Chappelle explains why having him and Black Star on necessitates a channel change for this weekend Finally… though it might be a little[...]

With reported (but not confirmed) rumblings among the writers over the choice of Chappelle as host, it's going to be very interesting to see what hits our screens on Saturday night (or any drama that might drop before then since we still have three days to go). Image: SNL Instagram Stories Screencap Image: SNL Instagram Stories Screencap Image:[...]

But for now, we're rolling along with how SNL's rolling out its previews for this weekend's show With it being Wednesday, we should expect a look at Chappelle & the SNL cast checking in from the read-thru But before that, we have this season's newest tradition, the midweek sketch. Image: SNL Screencap In the following clip, Chappelle[...]

That brings us to the Tuesday before a new show, which means it's time for an official welcome video for this weekend's host, actor/comedian Dave Chappelle (no stranger to SNL), and musical guest Black Star Considering Chappelle's been no stranger to media headlines over the past several months, it will be interesting to see how[...]

Much like the Harlow episode, the plus side is that the SNL cast & writers are hitting their notes more and more with each passing show Unfortunately, that meant, once again, propping up the host through some rough spots But unlike Harlow, it wasn't that Schumer didn't have a presence in the sketches; it's just[...]

And we have a feeling SNL will be creating some buzz for next weekend, with actor/comedian Dave Chappelle hosting on November 12th with musical guest Black Star Here's a look at the official index cards: Image: NBC Looking Back at Amy Schumer's Saturday Night Live Week As we mentioned previously, we didn't get an on-set promo video for[...]

So what happened to the on-set promo with Schumer, Lacy, and an SNL cast member (or members) that we usually get on Thursdays? We… just didn't get one? Weird That said, what we got to replace it was great… but more on that in a minute For now, jump into our TARDIS as we take[...]

But what we did get earlier today was SNL cast member Ego Nwodim (one of our major favs) taking us on a mini-mic (you'll understand) tour of Studio 8H as the team continues getting everything together for Saturday Night And along the way, we get a chance to meet some of the important players who[...]

Now, we're getting a chance to check out Schumer, and members of the SNL cast during today's read-thru And since I see Sarah Sherman & Colin Jost together, I hope that means another round of Sherman headline-bashing Jost on "Weekend Update" is on the way. SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE (Image: SNL Instagram Stories Screencap) SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE (Image:[...]

That brings us to the midweek sketch, with Schumer joined by SNL cast member James Austin Johnson as the latter does a rundown of Schumer's rider With our host being a new mom, there are definitely some needs that the baby will have Like loose cigarettes Or a gun. Image: NBC Screencap Here's a look at how[...]

So with it being Tuesday, that could mean only one thing… SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE (Image: NBC Screencap) Here's a look at the official intro "welcome video" for Schumer and Lacy, with more SNL previews & updates rolling out throughout the week (like tomorrow's midweek sketch and SNL read-thru): In the "Cut for Time" sketch "JNCO Longs," Andrew Dismukes,[...]

Our line-up for this morning includes our thoughts on which Doctors should make BBC's Doctor Who returns (and which ones are fine just where they're at), NBC's Saturday Night Live rises above Jack Harlow but left a great sketch on the cutting room floor, and Javicia Leslie (Batwoman, The Flash) spending part of Halloween in[...]

Pumpkins), and the SNL cast & writers stepped up in big ways But now we're getting a chance to check out one of SNL's "Cut for Time" sketches, and if we're being honest? It's a f***ing crime that this didn't make the cut because I'm still laughing about the premise and the screencap below as[...]

The reason why Megan Thee Stallion was such a great host was that she gave herself over to the SNL process and trusted them enough to be willing to go all-in in her sketches while still maintaining a sense of herself I didn't get that with Harlow, who came across more as a combination of[...]

So with that in mind, we're taking you back to the last time Harlow was on SNL Following that, we have some major updates on why Melissa Villaseñor departed SNL and a status update on Chris Redd, who was attacked this week in NYC Here's a look: Image: NBC Screencap First up, here's a look back at[...]

But what makes this one a little more special is that it also features the SNL season return of Cecily Strong (always a good sign). Image: SNL Screencap And in the following promo, Harlow makes it a point of honoring that "The Queen's" return, which goes great until it… well… gets a little too "House of the[...]

Take a look: Image: NBC SNL Here's How Jack Harlow's Saturday Night Live Week Is Going Beginning with Wednesday night on the east coast, we had a chance to check in with Harlow and the cast during the SNL read-thru- here's a look at some screencaps and the post from the official SNL Instagram account: Image: SNL IG Screencap Image:[...]

Our line-up for this morning includes HBO Max redeveloping Green Lantern to focus on John Stewart, BBC's Doctor Who finding a quality companion in Disney+, Netflix previewing Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre, Jack Harlow bringing some inadvertent Halloween spirit to NBC's Saturday Night Live, Charlie Cox kicking ass training-wise for Disney+'s Daredevil:[...]

And now that we've hit Wednesday night on the east coast, we're also getting a chance to check in with Harlow and the cast during SNL read-thru- here's a look: Image: SNL IG Screencap Image: SNL IG Screencap Image: SNL IG Screencap Image: SNL IG Screencap Image: SNL IG Screencap   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Saturday Night Live[...]

Later, we'll be checking in with this week's host & musical guest Jack Harlow & the SNL cast during read-thru But before we get to that, we have this season's weekly tradition of a filmed midweek sketch involving the host This week, Harlow is joined by Kenan Thompson and Marcello Hernandez as the SNL cast[...]

And for a show with a reputation for vibing off its hosts, SNL had an impressive muse on its hands Here's a look at what worked (a lot), what didn't (very, very little), and everything in-between. SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE (Image: NBC Screencaps) Saturday Night Live Season 48 Review: Megan Thee Stallion Monologue: Smart move by the Saturday Night[...]

So will be getting two more in a row before a break heading to Halloween? Or are we looking at October 22nd being an off-week, with SNL returning on October 29th for an unofficial Halloween episode? SNL offered some clarity on the matter, confirming that the 22nd will be a skip week But when SNL[...]
