Apparently, “Saturday Night Live” is making changes to more than just the cast for the upcoming 42nd season on the air. According to a report coming in right now via Splitsider, Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider have been promoted to co-headwriters for the upcoming season. The two are behind some popular sketches on the show, including […]
Well, it certainly did not take very long at all for the futures of Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah to be a little bit more clear following their departures from “Saturday Night Live” earlier this season. While at Showtime’s TCA Summer Press Tour event on Thursday, it was confirmed that the two actors have landed […]
While for the most part Jay Pharoah has remained quiet following his exit from “Saturday Night Live,” he has at least broken his silence in one way: On Instagram. In the post below, you can see the departing cast member alongside Taran Killam (who is also leaving after six seasons with the show) and Vanessa […]
Late yesterday we were blindsided by the news that Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah were not returning to “Saturday Night Live” for season 42, and as it turns out, there was also a point in which even Taran himself was surprised. Speaking in an interview with Uproxx about his exit, it appears as though other […]
Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah are not the only two people leaving “Saturday Night Live” prior to the start of season 42. We’ve also learned now that featured player Jon Rudnitsky is also out. Losing Rudnitsky at this point is not much of a shock, especially in comparison to the other two departing cast members. […]
We always assume that there will be a little bit of cast turnover on “Saturday Night Live” year in and year out, but we are particularly shocked about the news that came out today. As first reported by TVLine, longtime cast members Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah are each going to be departing the show […]
It appears that the wishes of many “Saturday Night Live” and Leslie Jones fans are coming true. Over the weekend, we wrote about the producers for NBC’s Olympics coverage making an offer to the comedienne to come down to Rio in order to help cover the Games … which was fantastic since we do personally […]
After seeing how “Saturday Night Live” scene-stealer Leslie Jones watches the Olympics, we feel almost like every other way is inferior. Over the past couple of days, Jones has seen many a tweet of hers go viral thanks to her hysterical commentary. We can’t post of them on the site for language reasons, but if you […]
If you missed it, we recently talked about the video that “Saturday Night Live’s” own “Weekend Update” anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che put out at the Republican National Convention, and it was for the most part funny. However, there was something about it that just didn’t work, whether it be the reaction in the […]
Clearly, every network out there is trying to find a way to bring a dose of humor to the Republican National Convention, otherwise known as a place ripe for satire. (To be fair, the same can be said for the Democratic one — we’re equal opportunity when it comes to humor.) For NBC, this meant […]
