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 […]
In some ways, “American Ninja Warrior” is both an easy and difficult show for “Saturday Night Live” to spoof. The obvious reason to go after it is simply a matter of brand synergy. It airs on NBC, after all, which is the same exact network as the late-night show. Yet, there is a struggle here […]
There’s some incredibly sad news coming out today from the “Saturday Night Live.” Matt Villines, one-half of the stellar duo of Matt & Oz alongside Osmany Rodriguez, has passed after a battle with cancer. He was 39 years old. In the world of sketch comedy, it is sometimes difficult for directors to stand out from the […]
This weekend “Saturday Night Live” is airing a repeat in the recent Melissa McCarthy show, and while we do love the “Ghostbusters” star, we’ve gotta be honest: This is probably our least favorite hosting gig out of any that she has done. While there are some okay sketches in here, some of them seem completely […]
