SNL delivered a somber cold open last night as Kate McKinnon took the stage–donned in her Hillary Clinton character–and performed an emotional rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” (RIP). The opening actually bumped host Dave Chappelle’s monologue to minutes later…a move not often taken by the sketch comedy show. It’s been a tough week in America for many.…
In what can sort of be viewed as a non-musical sequel to his “Sports Song,” Weird Al took a starring role in a new parody video posted by The Kicker, a new comedy site launched by Saturday Night Live writer Bryan Tucker. Sure the site is a sports-comedy site and probably doesn’t share my opinion…
In 1997, actor and comedian Chris Farley died of a drug overdose at the young age of 33. I was in 7th grade at the time. Now, I’m 31 and I still watch his movies on the regular. Although his name is now forever added to the list of talent that’s been taken from…
It’s refreshing to see a Saturday Night Live musical guest really use the space well. If there’s one thing you should know about Janelle Monáe, it’s that there’s no bottling that energy up…she comes alive. See her cause a ruckus with “Dance Apocalyptic” and “The Electric Lady” below.
You probably know her as the dim-witted, selfish, attention-whore Kelly Kapoor on NBC’s The Office, but Mindy Kaling wants to be clear: She is no Kelly. Mindy would never fake a pregnancy for attention, nor a rape for that matter. She also wouldn’t consider driving away from the site of a vehicular manslaughter. She may,…
Why the hell isn’t Robyn HUGE in the U.S. already, dammit!? The Swedish Pop singer dropped by Saturday Night Live this weekend with a one-two-punch featuring “Call Your Girlfriend” and “Dancing On My Own.” And here they are. Listen and love.
Everybody knows: I am not the biggest Florence and the Machines fan. In fact, I’m not a fan at all (We can talk for hours about how overrated Lungs was. So over-hyped and undeserving!). But I’ve also got to give credit where credit is due. Florence and her gang played Saturday Night Live this weekend,…
After reading the thrilling conclusion to Tina Fey’s latest literary treasure, Bossypants, I’m confident that she and I would be the greatest of friends. In fact, she probably already wants to be my friend. If she had a Paris Hilton-esque reality show about finding said BFF, I would be a sure-shot victor, combining our wits…
My prayers were answered! Dana Carvey and Mike Myers put on their ripped jeans once again to portray Garth Algar and Wayne Campbell in a brand spankin’ new Wayne’s World skit on Saturday’s episode of SNL. Carvey was there hosting, and Myers was there being awesome. It’s Wayne’s World! Wayne’s World! Party time! Excellent! Life.…
There is hope for SNL yet! Dana Carvey is set to host this weekend with musical guests Linkin Park. This will be his fourth time hosting, after having appeared in 1994, 1996 and 2000. Please, God, let Mike Myers be available for a Wayne’s World reunion. I. would. just. DIE. With Dana Carvey attached, the…
