It is interesting in many ways seeing how comedies tend to work almost in cycles. For example, do you remember the days when NBC used to be the home of critically-acclaimed, outside-the-box series? Well, those days are starting to slowly and surely wither away thanks to the network’s decision to now try and emphasize family […]
This took a while, didn’t it? While we first heard reports before the end of “Saturday night Live’s” season finale last month that Fred Armisen was going to join Bill Hader in leaving the show, neither the actor nor NBC actually confirmed that it was going to happen … leading some to imagine the frightening […]
Occasionally there is a sketch cut at the last minute from “Saturday Night Live” that is actually pretty funny, and it was cut mostly because there was either not time for it on the show, or the sketch was simply too dirty to make it onto the show. However, most of the time the only […]
While we don’t know all of the details yet surrounding some changes coming up at “Saturday Night Live,” there is one thing that you can definitely say for sure: Change is indeed coming. Bill Hader is off the show, and it seems as though Fred Armisen and possibly Jason Sudeikis, as well, though nothing is […]
There are some editions of “Saturday Night Live” (see Melissa McCarthy) that we absolutely cannot wait to watch again. However, there are also some editions that we could barely get through the first time around, and one of those was the show hosted by Vince Vaughn.

Last year, we started a tradition around here when it came to talking about “Saturday Night Live”: Posting a list of ten people from the TV community that we’d love to see taking the reigns as host someday. Sadly, we can’t say our dream came true for any of the people that we posted for […]
We’re not into the doldrums of “Saturday Night Live,” which is admittedly a sad place to be. However, we’re going to continue to do re-watch articles for all of the episodes that have only aired once over the past few months. Don’t expect pieces for the shows that have aired twice already, though, since there’s […]
Who knew that you could quantify a distinction between singing superstars Justin Timberlake and Justin Bieber? As it turns out, the difference between them is literally around 20 people. Days after saying goodbye to “Saturday Night Live” with an absolutely brilliant send-off to his character of Stefon, Bill Hader explained in an interview with Howard […]
If you love comedy, then you probably had a few reasons to smile over the year on “Saturday Night Live.” The Stefon sketch Saturday night was a thing of beauty, and in between it and the return of Fred Armisen’s Ian Rubbish to say goodbye, it marked the end of the era. Let’s go ahead […]
And now, we present a history lesson to all of you out there bellowing that “Saturday Night Live” is dead and/or dying after so many years. The ratings are in for the season finale featuring host Ben Affleck, and they proved that at the end of the day, not much has really changed at all […]
