SNL: Saturday Night Live

By editor@buddytv.com Gossip Girl star Blake Lively will spend her post-Thanksgiving week with the cast of Saturday Night Live, which she is set to host on December 5. For that we'll just have to wait and see--and it's hard not to be curious, given Lively's lack of acting experience in the comedy department. (Unle...

By editor@buddytv.com Following the unfortunate demise of the King of Pop, several celebrities have expressed their sentiments regarding the accident.  One of those who have gotten close to Michael Jackson is veteran actor Joe Pesci, who rose to fame for his numerous films and a recurring stint on Saturday Ni...

Neil Patrick Harris has recently flaunted his hosting flair at the TV Land Awards where a stunt set his tuxedo on fire, hosted Saturday Night Live earlier this year and continuously charms viewers as Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother. ...

By editor@buddytv.com John McCain made his appearance on Saturday Night Live last night.  He did a fine job, taking good-natured jabs at his campaign and looking a lot more like the guy who hosted Saturday Night Live in 2002 than the angry campaigner we've seen these last few months.  John and wife Cindy appeared o...

By editor@buddytv.com John McCain is following in his running mate's footsteps.  Tomorrow, on a brand new Saturday Night Live, McCain will make a cameo.  The news comes this morning.  It was widely rumored that McCain's opponent, Barack Obama, would be the one to make a cameo on Saturday Night Live this weekend.  T...

By editor@buddytv.com Amy Poehler is gone from Saturday Night Live.  Poehler gave birth to her first child on Saturday and missed the live broadcast of Saturday Night Live in the process.  She stated soon after her pregnancy was announced last summer that, once her maternity leave was over, she would not be retur...

By editor@buddytv.com It's only fitting that Amy Poehler gave birth to her first child on a Saturday.  The actress and comedian has been perhaps the biggest star in the post Will Ferrell-era of Saturday Night Live, and maybe the best female cast member in the long history of Saturday Night Live.  It was merely a tes...

By editor@buddytv.com Now that Sarah Palin has made her buzz-worthy appearance on Saturday Night Live, it's time for the next rumor to come along.  Saturday Night Live has always been a desired destination for political candidates, especially during the stretch run f the election season.  Back in 2000, both Al...

By editor@buddytv.com has always been a hot-bed for politics. In the last year, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Mike Huckabee have all appeared on the show, and last night, all eyes turned to SNL when vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin made not one, but two cameo appearances. Viewers have fallen in love with...

By editor@buddytv.com The Saturday Night Live machine is taking full advantage of this contentious election season, airing an ungodly amount of new episodes since premiering its 34th season in the middle of September.  Over the next two weeks, NBC will air two new proper Saturday Night Live episodes, plus two...

By editor@buddytv.com Most Saturday Night Live stars get famous while they're still cast members. An SNL character will catch on and in a flash. People will start watching and rewatching clips of their favorite sketches online. With Tina Fey, the irony is that, now that she is no longer on Saturday Night Live, she'...

By editor@buddytv.com as the series is wont to do, finds itself in a renaissance.  Ratings are through the roof and the sketch comedy series has become appointment viewing in the midst of this election season.  Tina Fey's Sarah Palin has been an absolute gift from god for Saturday Night Live, sparking water-cool...

By editor@buddytv.com It's most difficult to deliver comic gold when both a) people are expecting something specific and b) the bar has been set very high.  Tina Fey spoofed Sarah Palin on the Saturday Night Live season premiere last month, and has now reprised the Palin role three times, despite the fact that sh...

By editor@buddytv.com After a so far sterling (and very politically relevant) season, Saturday Night Live is hell-bent on taking advantage of its momentum with a packed line-up this October.  SNL's first three episodes saw increased interest on the November elections, particularly on Tina Fey's great impr...

By editor@buddytv.com Last week's edition of Saturday Night Live continued a so-far dream 34th season, ratings-wise, as its third episode chalked up a 46 percent increase in viewership in the same episode of last season.  According to numbers released by Nielsen Media Research, the Saturday Night Live episo...

By editor@buddytv.com The skit on Saturday Night Live featuring Tina Fey as Alaska governor Sara Palin and Amy Poehler as Senator Hillary Clinton was a huge hit, to say the least.  A lot of people have commented on Fey's striking resemblance to the vice presidential candidate even before SNL's premiere two week...

By editor@buddytv.com has always welcomed politicians to Studio 8H with open arms.  John McCain even hosted the late-night sketch show a few years back.  Prior to the 2000 presidential elections, both George W. Bush and Al Gore made surprise appearances.  Hillary Clinton showed up during her campaign last year,...

By BuddyTV Among the first episodes targets were the media's infatuation with Barack Obama (played by Fred Armisen, a clear sign they need a skinny black cast member), The Celebrity Apprentice and several Oscar-nominated films. Seeing Bill Hader “drink your milkshake!” was worth the 90 minutes a...

By BuddyTV For the triumphant return, the show is pulling out the big guns, as the host will be none other than Tina Fey. The recent Golden Globe and SAG Award winner for her work on 30 Rock was, of course, a co-anchor of Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update for four seasons in addition to serving as the sh...

By BuddyTV Currently in its 33rd season, Saturday Night Live is a 90-minute comedy variety program that has run since the fall of 1975.  It features slapstick sketches and satirical skits, as well as performing artists and notable guest celebrities.

By BuddyTV On SNL, Meyers is best known for impersonating such figures like John Kerry, Prince Charles, Ryan Seacrest (American Idol), Sean Penn, Stone Phillips and Wade Robson.  He joined the long-running comedy variety show in 2001 as an actor-comedian and has now been promoted to head writer.

By BuddyTV The relative quality of Saturday Night Live is always in question. The Tina Fey years were the best. No, the Will Ferrell years. No, the Chris Farley years. No, the Eddie Murphy years. No, the John Belushi years. No, after episode one, it was all downhill.

By BuddyTV After four months of waiting, fans can finally indulge in a night of slapstick, parody and entertainment as Saturday Night Live returns for a new season.  Many notable guests have been lined up for season 33 but for tonight's premiere, the 90-minute comedy variety show will be graced with...

By BuddyTV Unlike Maya Rudolph, whose fate on Saturday Night Live hasn't been announced up to now, Will Forte straightforwardly says that he has no plans to leave NBC' long-running comedy variety show.  In fact, the 37-year-old comedian doesn't like to think of himself as a big shot celebrity despi...
