Specifically to the Chris Rock-hosted season premiere on October 3, 2020, an episode where Megan was the musical guest and appeared in a filmed sketch (check out our full review here), and more than proved that she has what it takes to take on tonight's double duty.

And joining her is none other than SNL cast member Heidi Gardner. Image: NBC Screencap In the first promo, Megan makes the "rookie mistake" of thinking any part of the show would be written at this point Following that, "Heidi Thee Gardner" checks in (though we're not sure Megan's a big fan) Then, Gardner shows Megan that[...]

Discovery making moves that could be a bad sign for Cartoon Network, Comedy Central finalizing The Daily Show host Trevor Noah's final day, Netflix's Stranger Things writers offering a Season 4 change involving Hopper & Alexei, Disney+ dropping a preview for the finale of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and Megan Thee Stallion & Sarah Sherman get[...]

That means it's not just time to check in with how things are going with host & musical guest Megan Thee Stallion (fresh off of Disney+'s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and following up on her 2020 SNL appearance) during read-thru but also what the rest of the cast is up to And thanks to Instagram[...]

That's right, Megan Thee Stallion (fresh off of Disney+'s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and following up on her 2020 SNL appearance) is set to pull double duty as both the host and the musical guest With it being Wednesday, we would usually expect an update later today from the read-thru But starting with Gleeson's appearance,[...]

Thanks to SNL host Brendan Gleeson & musical guest Willow (read our thoughts on it here), the 48th season of Lorne Michaels & NBC's Saturday Night Live got itself back on track after a painfully lackluster season opener But now, we're starting the press cycle for the episode that, out of the initial three that[...]

As for Willow? Wow! Once again, SNL turns me onto an artist who kills it live, and now I'm checking out their backstory Performing "curious/furious" and "ur a stranger," Willow embraced the moment and set the Season 48 musical bar for future performers (which Megan Thee Stallion might just reach when she hosts & performs[...]

Joined by SNL cast member Chloe Fineman, we have three mini-promos that we don't want to spoil Let's just say that the topics include not saying "Macbeth" in a theater, Gleeson trash-talking Paddington the Bear, and the demonstration of an "Irish goodbye." Image: SNL Screencap Here's a look at what Gleeson, Willow, and Fineman had to say,[...]

But that's not all because we also have some screencaps from the show's Instagram Stories showing off what the SNL cast was up to during the table rehearsal session, too: Image: SNL Screencap Image: SNL Screencap Image: SNL Screencap Image: SNL Screencap Image: SNL Screencap Image: SNL Screencap   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Saturday Night Live (@nbcsnl) For a chance[...]

That's always a good sign from a host… Image: SNL Screencap So for a chance to see Gleeson turn the SNL studio into his own skate park, check out the clip below: And don't forget that on October 15th, we have Megan Thee Stallion doing double duty as both host & musical guest So with that in mind,[...]

And though it's the second episode of Season 38, after last weekend's season opener (review here)? Well, let's just say that we're giving SNL a do-over and making this the official season opener (at least, in our minds) So we have Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin, State of the Union) hosting with musical guest[...]

So with all of that in mind, how was SNL's return? Pretty bad, actually And it had nothing to do with the departures or the recent additions (with Walker and Longfellow making strong first impressions) It just felt like it was something that the show "needed" to get through so that the real season could[...]

Joined by SNL cast member Bowen Yang (Bros), the first promo begins with Yang making an observation about Teller's name that answers some family questions about the host In the second promo… you know what season it is, right? Yup… Gilmore Girls Rewatch Season!! And finally, it's pretty clear Yang has some things to get[...]

While the remainder of this year still has Brendan Gleeson hosting with musical guest Willow on October 8th, and Megan Thee Stallion hosting & performing on October 15th, it looks like the 2023 half of the season could see actor, comedian & SNL alum Adam Sandler step into the hosting spotlight Speaking with the Variety Awards[...]

Overall impression? Teller joins a very long list of stars who learn a deeper appreciation of the SNL process once they experience it for themselves.

With Thursday expected to bring us our first on-stage promos for Season 48, Lorne Michaels & NBC's Saturday Night Live shared a look at this week's host Top Gun: Maverick star Miles Teller (who's set to be joined by musical guest Kendrick Lamar as the musical guest) during SNL's table read But that's not all, because[...]

After spending way too much depressing time learning who wouldn't be returning on the cast side for Lorne Michaels & NBC's Saturday Night Live Season 48 (Pete Davidson, Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney, Alex Moffat, Melissa Villaseñor, and Aristotle Athari), we actually have some good news to pass along to SNL fans[...]

So when legendary comics creator and pop culture icon Gail Simone took to Twitter for a "Question of the Day" involving who the most underrated SNL cast member was during its run And that's just too fun of a topic for us not to pass along, and it got us thinking First, out of the[...]

You know, 'Live from New York.'" During a tour behind-the-scenes of SNL's show night with CBS Mornings host Gayle King for his Kennedy Center honor before the end of 2021, Michaels revealed that he had been thinking of retiring and thought it was a "really good time to leave." But first and foremost, his commitment is[...]
