Poehler: Only laugh if he's funny
Original at Salon
• Tue, Nov 10
By Tracy Clark-Flory There isn't enough Amy Poehler to go around -- we're always left wanting more, more, more of the funny lady. This week, though, we were lucky enough to get more than our usual share: She did a guest spot on "Saturday Night Live" over the weekend and was honored last night at Glamour's Women of t...

• Mon, Oct 5
By Sady Doyle Those with the sheer endurance to make it through the “Deep House Dish” sketch on this weekend's "SNL" (dance music is not that good! Yes, this is the entire joke) got a special gift: musical guest Lady Gaga and surprise star Madonna, in a battle to the death.

• Fri, Sep 18
By Alex Koppelman With the dearth of investigative journalism out there, it was up to Saturday Night Live to bring us the real story behind Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., calling President Obama a liar during his speech to Congress. Turns out, as you can see in the video below, that Wilson had a very good reason for his o...

Replacing Poehler

• Sat, Nov 15
By Judy Berman To say that it's been a stellar year for the women of "Saturday Night Live" would be an understatement. From "bitch is the new black" to Tina Fey as Sarah Palin to Amy Poehler's jaw-dropping 9-months-pregnant rap, the sketch show has been all about the ladies in 2008. The only problem? Now t...
Opinion: Saturday night limp?
Original at Salon
• Sun, Oct 26
By Sarah Hepola As always, I loved Darrell Hammond as Bill Clinton, who stole the show with his brief rendition of the Simple Minds classic, "Don't You (Forget About Me)." Katharine Mieszkowski: Wow. If this is what we have to look forward to from "Saturday Night Live" during an Obama-Biden administratio...
The rap on Palin
Original at Salon
• Sun, Oct 19
By Judy Berman Until that point I was on the verge of being pissed about her "SNL" appearance in the show's opening sketch (thanks to the East Coast Broadsheet team for telling us to stay tuned through Weekend Update). The press conference spoof wasn't funny to me, because Palin, unbelievably, still has...
