How about this for a “Saturday Night Live” surprise? It’s not often that the new season begins with four new episodes in a row, but that is precisely what we are getting as we move into season 42. Today, NBC confirmed that Tom Hanks is going to host the upcoming Saturday, October 22 episode alongside […]
This past weekend, “Saturday Night Live” certainly accumulated a substantial amount of mileage out of Alec Baldwin’s debut as Donald Trump. The show scored its best overnight ratings for a premiere in eight years and tied their best start in the demo since the premiere before the 2012 election. Maybe Darrell Hammond’s impersonation of Trump […]
The “Saturday Night Live” season 42 premiere was by our money one of the best starts to the series in years, so why not try and keep the momentum going? The video below, at least to us, may very well be the funniest promo in recent “SNL” lore, at least since they started shooting more […]
This weekend “Saturday Night Live” of course went all-in discussing a number of pop-culture topics, with of course the Presidential Election being at the top of the list. We figure that from now until November, we’re going to see a lot of Donald Trump on the show. Maybe once that’s over one way or another that’ll dissipate. […]
With us in the center of election season, “Saturday Night Live” of course did something it tends to do: Surge in a positive direction. Last night’s show hosted by Margot Robbie and with musical guest The Weeknd (read our review here — it’s one of the best premieres in years) drew a 2.7 rating in […]
For the season premiere of “Saturday Night Live,” we got a chance to see not only some of the best comedy we’ve seen in some time for the season premiere; we also had a performance from someone still at the top of his game musically in The Weeknd. we’re not going to say that we […]
While it went by in the blink of an eye on the “Saturday Night Live” premiere, you may have noticed one major change during the opening theme song: The promotion of a variety of formerly featured players from this past season. Officially, Michael Che, Colin Jost, Pete Davidson, and Leslie Jones are now formal cast […]
Saturday Night Live, SNL 42 review
“Saturday Night Live” is back! We waited for it for several weeks, and that said anticipation was probably increased tenfold because of both the cast turnover (farewell, Taran Killam, Jay Pharoah, and Jon Rudnitsky) couple with the fact that Alec Baldwin is now playing Donald Trump rather than Darrell Hammond. We really don’t think that […]
Tonight, “Saturday Night Live” is airing its season premiere, and based on the sneak peek below, we could be in for some fun. Sure, telling jokes about The Weeknd’s new hair is hardly revolutionary, but we’re glad to see that Margot Robbie appears to be excited to be there, and she’s having fun with Kenan […]
Judging from the latest comments from “Saturday Night Live” creator Lorne Michaels, one thing feels relatively clear: We’re probably not ever going to get a cohesive answer as to what precisely went down with Jay Pharoah and Taran Killam’s departures. We don’t get the sense that either one of them was planning to leave the […]
