With NBC's Saturday Night Live expected to make some kind of news very soon on how Season 47 is shaping up, we've been looking back over the past few months at the previous season via SNL's "Stories from the Show" series as well as a number of interviews that the hosts and cast members have[...]

In the first edition, SNL founder Lorne Michaels and the cast took viewers behind the scenes to show them how they were able to pull off the most difficult season in the show's near half-century run This time around, its host, actor & comedian Dave Chappelle (who hosted the first show after the Joe Biden/Donald[...]

SNL is a good marriage of the two, but it certainly was a different experience for me, even being number one on a call sheet, or going, 'Wait, you want me to look attractive every time I'm on camera? I'm supposed to look pretty today, how bizarre.'" Among her popular characters are Fox News personality[...]

Saturday Night Live writer and "Weekend Update" co-anchor Michael Che is facing some online backlash over his Simone Biles posts.

So it's safe to say that there are stories to be told- and with that in mind, the folks over at SNL are starting back up its "Stories from the Show" YouTube series to help with the downtime until the show returns in the fall (let's start speculating now over who might not be coming[...]

Should Federal Election Commission and/or FCC look into this?" Saturday Night Live (Image: NBCU) We're guessing you know where this is going, right? Not content to just let it go (really?), The Daily Beast reported that Trump spoke to advisers and legal counsel about siccing the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the court systems, and (most disturbing and confusing)[...]

Because whatever people want to say about the past eight months worth of shows, this season will go down as the most unique in the long-running sketch comedy/music series' near half-century- a show that went from "SNL @ Home" to finally have a full audience in attendance So how did the season finale go? Not[...]

With only hours to go until host Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen's Gambit) and musical guest Lil Nas X take the stage of Studio 8H for the 46th season finale of NBC's Saturday Night Live, we're taking a look back at a sketch "that almost was" and why it wasn't with "Weekend Update" co-anchor and SNL co-head[...]

So with Season 46 finale host Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen's Gambit) and musical guest Lil Nas X ready to take the stage of Studio 8H for the 46th season finale of NBC's Saturday Night Live, you know what it's time for?

Lil Nas X has already posted a promise on social media that "Montero" and a new song will be in play that night (we're thinking the song that's dropping on Friday), so there's already that to look forward to.

Extolling the virtues of WandaVision and Falcon, the voiceover also teased viewers to be on the lookout for Hawkeye… "& His Boring Ass Family." Hawkeye (Image: Screencap) Here's a look at the full sketch, which is worth every minute of your time- trust us (though we're pretty confident that Steinfeld's Kate Bishop will be anything but boring): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uItJuJeuDg&t=186sVideo[...]

One letter warranted him an interview, but not for the show he submitted to; David Letterman's head writer at the time was SNL writer John Downey, who responded to Swartzwelder's letter and put him up for a writing position at SNL.

Key has a way to draw you with these little moments here and there that allows the viewer to look past the weak spots. Saturday Night Live (Image: Screencap) On top of that, musical guest Olivia Rodrigo not only continued the long line of quality performances this season but also had two serious breakout moments- especially with[...]

On top of that, we have SNL cast member and comedy icon (yup, without a doubt) Kate McKinnon taking part And maybe we still have a little leftover shock from last week, but the trio found a way to make us feel good about Saturday in less than a minute so that's definitely a good[...]

Add in that we're expecting nothing but excellence from Rodrigo and we're willing to say that we're feeling cautiously optimistic.

After two weeks of controversy leading up to his gig this weekend hosting NBC's Saturday Night Live and with the episode being broadcast globally for the first time in SNL's history (check out our review here), billionaire inventor Elon Musk scored big ratings for the long-running sketch comedy series- just not the season's biggest Nielsen's[...]

Simpson comparison to his claim of being the first SNL host with Asperger's to hold the stage (looks like someone forgot about SNL icon Dan Aykroyd hosting in the early 2000's) and what appeared to be an audition for a mother-son supervillain team for the next James Bond film? It just wasn't good, saved only[...]

As for who has more to add to the Musk conversation, check out SNL cast member and "Weekend Update" co-anchor Michael Che as well as stand-up comedian, actor, and Season 46 host Dave Chappelle. Image: Screencap Checking in virtually with Wendy Williams, the talk show host asked Che about the rumors the cast wasn't too thrilled with[...]

Because along with the clip, we have Cyrus checking in from musical rehearsals and some more thoughts from SNL cast member Pete Davidson about the Musk buzz over the past two weeks.

We're going in a different direction and having a little fun at his expense (we heard he has an excellent sense of humor)- follow us, won't you? Image: SNL We're going to move past the blatant too-cute-by-a-million, as-subtle-as-a-sledgehammer "Nuke Mars" shirt because what's the deal with the bandana? Is he a "Hangman" Adam Page fan? Was he[...]

With only days to go until Elon Musk hosts this weekend's edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live (with musical guest Miley Cyrus)- and on the day we should be getting a look at Musk during the table read- SNL cast member Pete Davidson is sharing his thoughts on the controversy surrounding the billionaire inventor's hosting[...]

From there, we usually get anywhere from 1-3 mini-promos from the Studios 8H stage with the host, musical guest, and an SNL cast member or two But this weekend finds billionaire inventor Elon Musk taking the hosting spot (with Miley Cyrus as the musical guest) and things already feel different. We already know that some of[...]

Add to that SNL cast members Bowen Yang, Andrew Dismukes, Aidy Bryant, and Michael Che all weighing in on the matter (with the three former not exactly coming across as too excited by the move and Che using the opportunity to get some great digs in at "Weekend Update" co-anchor Colin Jost). Now we've reached that point where the[...]

And that not-too-thrilled vibe isn't just shared among the viewers- SNL folks Bowen Yang, Andrew Dismukes, and Aidy Bryant posted varying degrees of pushback on social media (and we offered our humble historical suggestion on how the SNL cast should handle things here) The person we've been following the most on the topic had been "Weekend Update"[...]

First? Huh? Second? So how long will it take before we start hearing from the SNL cast about the booking- keeping in mind just how much Lorne Michaels loves when the cast speaks outside of Studio 8H on matters like these Bowen Yang responded to a tweet from Musk that read, "Let's find out just[...]
