Earlier today, NBC's Saturday Night Live checked in with its midweek sketch with stand-up comedian Shane Gillis (who is being joined this weekend by musical guest 21 Savage) getting a chance to workshop his monologue with SNL stars Marcello Hernandez & Sarah Sherman Now, we're getting a chance to check in with Gillis and the SNL[...]

In the clip above, Gillis gets a chance to workshop his monologue with SNL stars Marcello Hernandez & Sarah Sherman, and… well… he definitely makes an impression on them And don't forget that on March 2nd, we have Sydney Sweeney (Anyone But You) hosting, with musical guest Kacey Musgraves Following that, on March 9th, we[...]

That means it's time for SNL to roll out the video welcome for host stand-up comedian Shane Gillis and musical guest 21 Savage As was previously reported, the long-running sketch comedy/music series parted ways with then newly-announced cast member Gillis in September 2019 –  only days after recordings of racist, sexist, and homophobic comments surfaced, part[...]

I went into this weekend's edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live ready to review it – pretty much my game plan every time there's a new SNL Unfortunately, SNL proved to be its own worst enemy – with host Ayo Edebiri (The Bear), musical guest Jennifer Lopez, and the SNL team paying the price for it[...]

From the interesting decision to have controversial ex-SNL cast member Shane Gillis host when the show returns on February 24th to host Ayo Edebiri (The Bear) addressing some brutal comments she made about this weekend's musical guest Jennifer Lopez during a 2020 podcast And then there was the cold open earlier tonight – one that has[...]

We learned that SNL won't be returning until February 24th – and when it does, musical guest 21 Savage will be joined by stand-up comedian Shane Gillis – a name that SNL fans might remember from a few years back Back in September 2019, the long-running sketch comedy/music series parted ways with the newly-announced cast member[...]

But sometimes, good things come to those who wait – with Friday (?!?!) bringing us Edebiri, Lopez, and SNL star Heidi Gardner ready to go in Studio 8H In the first promo, it's a "lovefest" between Edebiri & Lopez – and sorta Gardner Following that… someone might want to check on Bowen Yang… just sayin'[...]

But just when they seem ready to throw in the towel, Edebiri offers an inspiring (if not exactly truthful) inspirational pep talk that might've just saved SNL (though we're thinking Lopez had a lot to do with it, too).

With the 50th season of NBC's Saturday Night Live kicking off later this year, there's going to be a lot going on to celebrate the late-night sketch comedy/music series' half-century on our screens – including Sony Pictures' SNL 1975, a feature film focusing on what went into getting that first episode on our screens Directed[...]

Normally, when there's a new episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live on the way, the Monday before is usually pretty quiet – with Tuesday expected to bring the SNL welcome video for host Ayo Edebiri (The Bear) & musical guest Jennifer Lopez But it appears that there may have been some rumblings coming out of this[...]

But I'm tipping my hat and awarding serious points to the SNL cast & writers for being the driving force this week With that in mind, let's look at what worked and what didn't – along with some random thoughts along the way. SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE (Image: NBCUniversal Screencap) The "NFL Championship Sunday" cold open was a[...]

But we do have a look back at Dakota's SNL hosting gig from 2015 and Timberlake's last hosting gig – back in 2013. SNL (Image: NBCUniversal Screencaps) Though he's made a ton of cameo appearances in live & filmed sketches over the year, Timberlake has served as either host or host & musical guest on five occasions[...]

Only minutes after we posted the midweek sketch ahead of this weekend's NBC's Saturday Night Live with host/Madame Web star Dakota Johnson and musical guest Justin Timberlake, SNL broke out the index cards & the corkboard to let us know that Ayo Edebiri (The Bear) is set to host on February 3rd – and will be[...]
