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[...]

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.

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[...]
