With only about 48 hours to go until Moon Knight star Oscar Isaac and musical guest Charli XCX (welcome back!), we've reached that day in NBC's Saturday Night Live promo cycle when the two take the stage for some "live promos." And this week, we have SNL cast member (and the greatest "Beerhat Subway Jesus"[...]

And that means tomorrow brings the on-stage promos… and will we be getting a Pete Davidson appearance this weekend? To be continued… Image: Screencap Now here's a look at Isaac in the middle of read-thru for this week, followed by what we've been treated to this week so far:   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Saturday[...]

And don't forget that on March 12, Zoë Kravitz (The Batman) takes the main stage at Studio 8H to host, with musical guest Rosalía joining Kravitz: 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 the year, Saturday Night Live creator Lorne[...]

With Isaac and Charli XCX most likely getting their intro video tomorrow to kick off their SNL promo cycle, we have an open day today that's actually being filled by those rare instances where various geek loves coverage in a "perfect storm" of coolness In this case, Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk stopped by[...]

Our line-up of news, opinions & reviews for this morning includes AEW & Tony Khan, AMC's The Walking Dead, VH1's RuPaul's Drag Race, NBC's Saturday Night Live, Paramount+'s Star Trek Discovery, Seth MacFarlane & FOX, Alan Tudyk's pitch for a Firefly/Resident Alien crossover, James Gunn goes "Top 3," the "Star Trek" universe remembers Leonard Nimoy, and[...]

Following that, a man (Mulaney) receives a toy "Podcast Set" as his going-away present at work- a present that will pave the way for him to Joe Rogan-like, brain-numbing success: 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 the year, Saturday[...]

Mulaney, Andrew Dismukes, Chris Redd, and so many more shine in this one, but special props go to Kate McKinnon for bringing life to "Stain on Subway Ground" and Aidy Bryant as "Beer Hat Jesus Christ, Subway Car." If you've never been to NYC before, consider this sketch a friendly "tourist's guide." "Five-Timers Club": Unleashing Steve[...]

That's right, April 14, 2018; March 2, 2019; February 29, 2020; October 31, 2020; and February 26, 2022, means Mulaney makes it into SNL's select "5-Timers" club as host (with LCD Soundsystem having played SNL in 2017) Side note? Mulaney is also the fourth SNL writer to host the long-running sketch comedy/music series without having[...]

And this time around, it's SNL cast member Cecily Strong who's out with them to make sure Mulaney understands that things around Studio 8H have changed quite a bit since he was last there But we're not sure even Mulaney was ready to learn just how much… Image: Screencap While we're a little disappointed that we only got[...]

And that's exactly what we have waiting for you below… Image: Screencap Here's a look at Mulaney in the middle of read-thru (though we can't shake this feeling that he might've known the photo was being taken and went for an ironic pose):   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Saturday Night Live (@nbcsnl) Now here's a look[...]

Then on March 12, Zoë Kravitz (The Batman) takes the main stage at Studio 8H to host, with musical guest Rosalía joining Kravitz. 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 the year, Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels revealed that he[...]

Here's a look at the index cards to make it all official-like: Image: NBC 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 the year, Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels revealed that he had been thinking of retiring and thought it was[...]

Honestly? Can John Mulaney, LCD Soundsystem, NBC's Saturday Night Live & February 26th get here a little faster? Because if we're not sure how many more mornings we can wake up to Kanye West comparing himself to Captain America and Pete Davidson to Iron Man in West's ongoing pissing contest with the SNL cast member[...]

Just look at last month when Kanye West (Ye) vented some serious beef towards actor, comedian & SNL cast member Pete Davidson In a nutshell? Ye's ex Kim Kardashian West hosted SNL last fall, and then Kardashian West & Davidson reportedly started dating Ye also started dating someone but apparently, he still wasn't happy about[...]

FOX acquired the rights to the Gumby universe for both animated & live-action reimaginings (though Rudy Giuliani is apparently not attached).

After taking to social media to announce she was considering ending her social media commentary on NBC's Winter Olympics after finding her posts repeatedly blocked, NBC wants to make it clear that actress, comedian & SNL alum Leslie Jones is more than welcome to keep working her comedic magic Explaining that a "third-part error" result[...]

But the one person and the one thing that's kept us interested is actress, comedian & SNL alum Leslie Jones and her live-tweeting her thoughts & feelings about what's going on Jones personalizes it on a level that we can relate to even if we don't always agree (though to be honest, that's rare), showing[...]

Look, we weren't the ones who told NBC to buy the rights to the Winter Olympics, thus putting Saturday Night Live on break until February 26th (when John Mulaney and LCD Soundsystem take the stages of SNL) And since no one asked us, here we are So with a few weeks to fill, we're keeping[...]

I mean, it's not like Day hasn't been on SNL before (see below), and from what we can tell in the clip he has the makings of a great Lorne Michael impersonation for when Michaels departs the series. Image: Screencap Here's a look at Day making his pitch to be the next Michaels if and when he[...]

Now that's a long time for us to be out of the weekly SNL loop so it feels kinda weird and maybe we're masochistic to say this but… we kinda miss it Thankfully, SNL released two "Cut for Time" sketches that helped make the wait a bit more bearable And these are just any sketches…[...]

Our line-up of news & opinion topics for today includes some thoughts on Negan's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) future on AMC's The Walking Dead, FOX's The Masked Singer previews Season 7, Paramount+'s HALO drops an official trailer, Spotify starts placing a COVID-19 advisory on Joe Rogan & other podcast hosts, WKRP in Cincinnati & Head of[...]

But we did get Pete Davidson making another run at Aaron Rodgers during the cold open (which didn't make our cut as a sketch but you can check out here starting at the 4:00 mark because Davidson deserves serious props) so things already kicked off on a strong note. Saturday Night Live (Image: Screencaps) As for what[...]

And then we learned that when SNL does return, John Mulaney will be hosting as the newest member of "the 5-Timers Club" with musical guest LCD Soundsystem. Saturday Night Live (Image: NBC) 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 the year,[...]

After yesterday's on-stage promos with this weekend's host Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man: No Way Home), musical guest Katy Perry, and SNL cast member Chris Redd (who killed it as ESPN First Take's Stephen A Smith in last weekend's "Cut for Time" sketch), we've reached that pre-show limbo time where pretty much anything SNL-related can happen[...]

And after an official intro and a look at how things were going with read-thru, it's time for Dafoe and Perry to join SNL cast members Chris Redd (who killed it as ESPN First Take's Stephen A Smith in last weekend's "Cut for Time" sketch) on stage for some promos. Image: Screencap Kicking things off, Defoe shows[...]

While we're sure we'll be getting updates from Perry sooner rather than later, we have a look at Dafoe from at read-thru (though if we're being honest, he looks like a professor grading exams or a screenwriter scribbling down some notes before he forgets them because there's time to start up his laptop). Image: Screencap Now here's[...]

With this past weekend's episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live (with SNL alum Will Forte & musical guest Måneskin) catching the attention of both ESPN First Take as well as FOX "News" (both for very good reasons), we're curious to see what's in store for this Saturday when Spider-Man: No Way Home star Willem Dafoe[...]

The target of her sadly & pathetically passive-aggressive attempts at a rebuttal of some type? Saturday Night Live star Kate McKinnon & her spot-on take on Ingraham during SNL's cold open this past weekend. Saturday Night Live (Image: Screencaps) Now, we're not sure what specifically it was about the sketch that hit the rawest nerve[...]

On Monday, the cast from SNL got a chance to find out exactly what Smith, Qerim, and Irvin thought. Image: Screencap Just in case you need a refresher or you haven't had a chance to check out the "Cut for Time" sketch yet, you can check it out below before getting to know how the folks over[...]

Image courtesy of NBC In Forte's return, the scenario also featured the return of his MacGruber co-stars in SNL alum Kristen Wiig as Vicki St Elmo and Ryan Phillippe as Dixon Piper, the first time he's played the character on SNL Previously during Forte and Wiig's stints as SNL cast members, the third person playing the[...]
