Saturday Night Live

For those keeping track, it took less than a week for “Saturday Night Live” to start to tout the recent appearance of Cecily Strong at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. They reference it in the latest promo below for Saturday’s show hosted by Scarlett Johansson. They paint Cecily as a desperate comic trying to make […]

Are you ready for “Saturday Night Live” to bring the hilarity again? Well, let’s just hope that the show meets that expectation in some way. This weekend’s show is being hosted by Scarlett Johansson, who we have a reasonable amount of optimism in. She’s an accomplished host on the show, and has no problem seemingly […]

Over the course of the next two weeks, you better prepare for a heck of a lot of promotion for “The Avengers: Age of Ultron” over on “Saturday Night Live.” Next week, the sketch show is going to be hosted by Scarlett Johansson, and tonight, the show is repeating their episode hosted by Chris Hemsworth. […]

“Saturday Night Live” has officially confirmed the final hosts for season 40, and we have to say that are overall feeling here is that of surprise. Let’s start first and foremost here with Reese Witherspoon, who will be hosting the May 9 edition of the show. Witherspoon has done this before, and she is certainly […]

At this point, Mumford & Sons have to be considered a “Saturday Night Live” favorite. Any musical guest who is asked to come back for another performance typically is, and we understand why you would pick them. They were one of the founders of the current folk-rock mainstream movement in our eyes, but as we’ve […]

Tonight’s “Saturday Night Live” episode hosted by Taraji P. Henson is the last of a three-week stretch, and that only means one thing: A long hiatus is upon us! Specifically, we are going to be waiting around for a few weeks now until May 2, which is going to hopefully be the first of three […]

“Saturday Night Live” loves its politics, so can you really be that shocked that the series decided to start things off with a cold open featuring Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton? It was a great chance to mock how some politicians have already used social media to announce that they are running for President. The […]

We go into this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live” episode with uneven expectations. Talent-wise, we have almost zero doubt that this will be an entertaining show. The presence of both Taraji P. Henson as host and Mumford & Sons as musical guest make that feel very likely to occur. Now that we’ve said this, we have to […]
