By Bob Sassone Let's see: Bravo is owned by NBC and Bon Jovi is appearing on several NBC shows exclusively for a while, including Saturday Night Live, The Jay Leno Show, and Today (and doing a promo for all of the USA Network shows that feature a "hero"), so it's a natural that the band would appear with Jame...

Sheesh, if it weren't for bad writing on Lorne-produced things, like "Black Sheep", maybe Chris Farley wouldn't have died. Lorne just kind of seems like an arrogant, megalomanical, or two in the grand scheme of things. Why do we keep letting charlatans like Lorne dumb

By Ben Yakas For the next two months, Bon Jovi will become the pseudo-mascot of NBC, "appearing (exclusively!) on a wide range of NBC broadcast and cable channels" to promote his band's new album, and "along the way, he [will] be hosting Saturday Night Live, doing sports, doing news, basking in James...

In new promos for Saturday Night Live, Bill Hader gets a jump start on the Kanye West jokes in these clips with musical guest/actress Taylor Swift. Will this be the last time we hear the rapper’s name mentioned this week? I hope not! Tags: (T), (T), (T), (T), (T), (T), (T), (T), (T), (T), (T), (...

By Dodai Ian Halperin, who's done unauthorized books on Kurt Cobain and Michael Jackson, is writing a new salacious tell-all, called Brangelina Exposed. He claims that Angelina throws things at Brad. She makes comments about Jennifer Aniston all the time, like, "You'd be just as miserable with J...

By tomoneil Back in November 2006, future Oscars co-hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin sparred over who's hosted "Saturday Night Live" the most times. Currently, the tally is Martin 15, Baldwin 14. Why Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin to host Oscars? Well, it's complicated . Video: NBC

By The Huffington Post News Editors Jason Sudeikis appeared on "Late Night" yesterday and revealed to former cast member Jimmy Fallon his pitches for this week's host of "SNL" Taylor Swift. The young Kanye-interuptee will be both host and musical guest on Saturday and (if Jason has his way) it will be terrible. WATCH:

By Foster Kamer Last night, Saturday Night Live did a re-run of the fairly interesting Ryan Reynolds-hosted episode from earlier this month. In it was a skit with musical performer Lady Gaga and a Madonna cameo. But they re-aired the funnier, racier version.

By Monika Bartyzel After reading Peter Hall's post on Kevin Spacey's stunning impersonations, I had to reacquaint myself with the old SNL sketch he mentioned and get as much Spacey as I could.

By Nicole Williams The country cutie and Best Female Video winner is slated to host this week's episode of Saturday Night Live. Swift, 19, who was asked to host the show over the summer, certainly has plenty of material to draw from when brainstorming skit ideas. "There are definitely some hilarious things th...

By Brian Moylan Why does this misbehaving star deserve to be grounded? Well, after some early success in a Tomb Raider movie and the title role in the abysmal film adaptation of Phantom of the Opera, Butler and his abs starred in the surprise hit 300, grossing half a billion worldwide and making a legion of...

By Jesse At least The Rock Obama and the alien sportscaster killed the first time; I can understand the temptation to go back, even if the writers didn’t rise to the challenge. But that was far from the worst of the episode’s many returns to the well. As if to assure us that any funny voice Kristen Wiig co...

Wiig and Sudekis are extremely strong character actors and impressionists, and accordingly, they've been given a lot of screen time, but unfortunately, they are often stuck with very one-dimensional, go-nowhere sketches. So, seeing as though Wiig is probably one of the most simultan...

By Brad Wilmouth MICHELLE OBAMA: Well, Big Bird. OBAMA: No, Big Bird, I'm not. OBAMA: I'm sure, Big Bird. O'REILLY: Don't – me? I'm just asking, Chris. O'REILLY: So what we are learning is that CNN is analyzing Saturday Night Live. GUTFELD: It was actually funnier than a Saturday Night Live skit.

By Jesse But she’s a likable performer, and clearly game: witness her monologue, which consisted of Barrymore playing up her own valley-girl inflection so that cast members, impersonating real and fictional members of the Barrymore acting dynasty, could parody her. Barrymore didn’t have a lo...

University of Westfield Credit where credit is due, this was the ONLY decent part of the show tonight. How embarrassing is that -- that this was the ONLY thing worth watching tonight?! The mumble at the end by Jenny Slate was great and it was good to see the fringe cast members in on this sketch.

By Jesse In fact, Reynolds did fine all night; he just didn’t stand out much. His only real showcase was a weirdly dopey monologue about the difference between superhero movies and romantic comedies, which made him sound vaguely clueless about both. Elsewhere, he disappeared into a couple of elab...

By Jesse Which brings us to the actual season premiere, after two thoroughly amusing Thursday go-rounds complete with semi-departed cast member Poehler, who’s well on her way to logging more post-departure screentime in her first year off than some cast members get while actually on the show. Y...

As portrayed by Andy Samberg, the goofy looking UConn student named Shep has big plastic rimmed glasses with thick lenses, braces on his teeth, Spider-man on his T-shirt and not a lot of sexual experience. That was the basis of the sketch between Shep and Seth Myers on "SNL Weekend Update Th...

With Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin impression saving the show from a weak Obama impression, and Thursday timeslots building the show’s reputation, it built to some of its best numbers ever and its cache went beyond viral intern...

By The Huffington Post News Editors This isn't Al Franken's first Supreme Court confirmation hearing. In 1991 he appeared in an opening sketch on "Saturday Night Live" that mocked Clarence Thomas's hearing and those involved.

By orfilms@gmail.com (slashfilm.com) Last Saturday Night—as countless unseen choppers flew overhead—a pair of maracas suddenly appeared in the capable hands of host Will Ferrell. Like magic. They gathered: Tom Hanks (on sax!), Paul Rudd, Anne Hathaway, Peggy and fellow SNL vets like Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Norm MacDona...

By The Huffington Post News Editors The sketch follows two party-goers (Andy Samberg and Bill Hader) as they describe the usual suspects at a lame party. While the adjectives are common (motherf**kers, sons of bitches, jokers, what's his face) the visuals are literal leading to the weirdest party-montage SNL has ever put...

By Jesse Unfortunately, yikes, the show went south after that; this was one of the weakest episodes of the season. Cooper was right in the middle of it, not quite as blandly smarmy as he is in most movies, but not displaying the skill you might expect of a Wet Hot American Summer alum, either.

By Jesse Like Martin’s current career, his latest SNL hosting gig was weirdly divided, though it didn’t appear to be his fault. Many moments harkened back to classic Martin/SNL bits of yore: his monologue, for example, which was, wow, an actual comedy monologue with actual jokes. That monologue,...

I watched Saturday Night Live from its inception in the 70s, but over the years my attention went elsewhere. I have to admit that Dana Carvey and Eddie Murphy still seem like the new guys on SNL. So Tina Fey is absolutely foreign territory, and a bit intimidating. How dare the world move on! I was...

By Justin McCarthy JOY BEHAR: She tripped all over herself to be on "Saturday Night Live," made her trip to New York. Meanwhile she should be on "Meet the Press." She avoids that like the plague. [applause] But to do a little prompter reading "oh yeah, I’ll do that."

By Brent Baker Harder now to ridicule Palin? On FNC, Chris Wallace ended an interview with former Senator Fred Thompson: It may be harder for Tina Fey to mock her on Saturday Night Live, although, Lord knows, they'll try. Lengthier quotes from the post-VP debate coverage on Thursday night, October 2:

By Jesse Episode Grade: C+ I know a lot of people react to Saturday Night Live with vague dismissiveness: oh, is that still on? I haven’t really watched it since [Tina Fey/Will Ferrell/Adam Sandler/Dana Carvey/Eddie Murphy/Bill Murray/Chevy Chase] left. So while you can find breathless, fawni...

By Hartford Courant Word of progress in the TV writers' strike is good news, especially when "Saturday Night Live" is digging further and further back for its reruns. It was so old, the cast still included such long-gone cast members as Horatio Sanz, Finesse Williams, Tina Fey and Rachel Dratch. One featured m...

By Brian I’ve got to add SNL to my DVR, I haven’t watched it in years but there’s more and more funny clips from the show lately. I wonder what kind of ratings NBC is getting on Notre Dame games this season. I can’t imagine they’re recouping their investment, though I certainly have tuned in to enjoy a lit...

By Rob It's an easy laugh for SNL (God knows they need those), but it's a laugh nonetheless.

By Cameron Archer Let's get this out of the way. SNL in the '90s: Pop Culture Nation (May 6, 9-11 PM, NBC) has the same problems as SNL in the '80s had, albeit not as noticeably. Clips and musical guests still don't match the seasons. Not everyone from the 1990s versions of SNL offer interviews for the documentary...

By Cameron Archer No opening tirade here, aside from the fact that Classic Saturday Night Live no longer airs on NBC All Night (as of January 2007, anyway.) That's not a bad thing. The reruns were getting to the point where every episode from five or six years ago was considered classic. Don't get me wrong, some o...

By Cameron Archer It's funny how hosts of Saturday Night Live earn their reputations. Former SNL director Beth McCarthy-Miller holds Justin Timberlake up as her favourite guest.
