We have SNL Alum Kristen Wiig returning to host on April 6th (with musical guest Raye) and Ryan Gosling (The Fall Guy) returning to host on April 13th (with musical guest Chris Stapleton) But before then, we have the month of March to wrap up – with host Ramy Youssef and musical guest Travis Scott set[...]

In the clip above, Youssef works on his promos, but he ends up having a much harder time finding his "firsts" when SNL star Kenan Thompson does a little SNL fact-checking And don't forget that we have SNL Alum Kristen Wiig returning to host on April 6th (with musical guest Raye) and Ryan Gosling (The[...]

Of course, that means kicking things off with a "red carpet" welcome video for Youssef & Scott as Studio 8H gets ready for SNL's March 30th return Following that, we have two more weeks of new shows – with SNL Alum Kristen Wiig returning to host on April 6th (with musical guest Raye) and Ryan[...]

When SNL does return on March 30th with Ramy Youssef & Travis Scott, it will be the first of three new shows – with Kristen Wiig & Raye set for April 6th and Ryan Gosling & Chris Stapleton set for April 13th So with some time to kill, we thought that we would offer a rundown[...]

Because however this weekend's show went, it would set the tone heading into a break (with SNL returning on March 30th with Ramy Youssef & Travis Scott) – and no one wanted a break like the one heading into the Shane Gillis-hosted episode If that wasn't enough, the real world added another layer of pop[...]

Apparently, it will be the end of the month – with March 30th seeing host Ramy Youssef and musical guest Travis Scott heading to Studio 8H.

When Thursday rolled around, we were treated to NBC's Saturday Night Live on-stage promos for this weekend's show – with host Josh Brolin & musical guest Ariana Grande joined by SNL star Chloe Fineman In the first promo, Brolin addressed that rumor about himself and his "Dune 2" co-star… no, his other co-star[...]

If you're sticking with the current cast, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, or Sarah Sherman would make that cold open memorable – here's hoping it happens.

Though the midweek sketch is a close second, NBC's Saturday Night Live on-stage promos on Thursday are always our favorite because it gives us a chance to see the host and musical guest together – like we have above with this weekend's host Josh Brolin & musical guest Ariana Grande, joined by SNL star Chloe Fineman[...]

Now, it's Wednesday evening – meaning that it's time to check in with Brolin and the SNL cast during read thru for this weekend's show.

Immaculate got a boost from SNL this past Saturday when host Sydney Sweeney mentioned the upcoming horror film in her monologue It was a good thing, too, as awareness of this NEON film is not very high, even with Sweeney as the star also in the film are Álvaro Morte, Benedetta Porcaroli, Dora Romano, Giorgio Colangeli, and Simona Tabasco[...]

That means that it's time to roll out the video red carpet ahead of a week's worth of promotion – though in a clip that we have below from NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers, Brolin offers some backstory on the very first "The Californians" sketch on SNL that's worth checking out.

Between a random Dave Chappelle on-stage appearance, podcast drama between Ayo Edebiri & Jennifer Lopez, pushback from fired SNL cast member Shane Gillis being invited back to host & other side issues, we were being forced to focus way too much of our attention on the behind-the-scenes drama and not nearly enough on what was[...]

If you had a chance to check out our review of January's Jacob Elordi (Saltburn)-hosted (with musical guest Reneé Rapp) edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live, then you know that we made our case as to why it might end up being the worst show of SNL's 49th season Aside from Elordi coming across as lost[...]

On Wednesday, NBC's Saturday Night Live host Sydney Sweeney (Anyone But You) was joined by SNL cast member Michael Longfellow for a midweek sketch showing us how those on-screen "meet-cute" moments would work in the real world (which you can check out below) Later in the day, the cast and Sweeney checked in from the read-thru[...]

Earlier today, we were treated to the midweek sketch for this weekend's edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live (with host Sydney Sweeney (Anyone But You) and musical guest Kacey Musgraves). In the clip above, Sweeney was joined by SNL cast member Michael Longfellow for a "teachable moment" regarding those "meet-cute" moments we've seen over the years in films and[...]

And with it being Wednesday, that means we have a look at Sweeney & the SNL cast later on today during their table read But right now, we have Sweeney being joined by SNL cast member Michael Longfellow for the midweek sketch – one that proves to be a teachable moment You've heard of (and[...]

Since it's Tuesday, it's time to roll out the video "red carpet" welcome to Sweeney & Musgraves (with a midweek sketch and read-thru most likely on tap for tomorrow).

It's the puppet emu who makes the sketch work – it's Gillis who comes across as the prop.

If you don't know, Gillis was originally set to join the SNL cast back in 2019 – alongside Bowen Yang and Chloe Fineman But after being announced, some controversial podcast comments and jokes resurfaced that resulted in SNL pulling his offer and issuing a statement where executive producer Lorne Michaels took responsibility for SNL's slacking[...]

That's a huge departure from SNL's thoughts on Gillis from September 2019, when the long-running sketch comedy/music series parted ways with the then newly-announced cast member –  only days after recordings of racist, sexist, and homophobic comments surfaced, part of a YouTube channel called Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast.
