This weekend’s “Saturday Night Live” has every bit of the potential that an edition of this show needs to be roll-on-the-floor funny. Why? There’s only one reason: Kristen Wiig. When we saw her on a weekly basis for years, we were actually pretty critical of Lorne Michaels for basically turning the entire show into Wiig […]
It’s rather funny seeing all of the talk about “Saturday Night Live” nostalgia coming from Kristen Wiig, mostly because she was just a part of the show last year. The former cast member is making her first turn as host for the show in a matter of days now, and early expectations are that we […]
While we thought Zach Galifianakis had his best edition of “Saturday Night Live” yet this weekend, apparently the viewers did not exactly seem that enthused to check it out. Overall, this edition of the show drew just a 2.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic, which is a full three tenths lower than the last (and […]
For the first time, we found an episode of “Saturday Night Live” hosted by Zach Galifianakis to be brilliantly entertaining! We’ve know for quite some time that the “Hangover” actor is a very funny man, but there had always been something missing with some of his shows. While not all of them were necessarily hits […]
It’s been a few weeks now since “Saturday Night Live” has been on the air, and when it comes to expectations for this weekend’s edition of the sketch show, this is probably both a good and bad thing. While the primary positive here is clear that the writers have been able to devote some time […]

There are some episodes of “Saturday Night Live” that are tiresome to watch a second time for a number of reasons. While the repeat bad episodes are a no-brainer, even some good ones fail upon repeat viewing. Why? The simple answer is that “SNL” at times veers towards sketches that are dated in a particular […]
If you want to get an indication of just what NBC may be looking at right now when it comes to their to comedy pilots, know this: Lorne Michaels has been able to convince his longtime collaborator Jimmy Fallon to appear on one of his newest co-creations. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fallon is set […]
“Saturday Night Live” will officially return with new episodes a week from Sunday, and rather than making us wait for this show (hosted by Zach Galifianakis) in order to find out the lineup for the rest of the season, NBC is throwing us a bone a little bit early. On Friday, the show announced that […]
You have to give some credit to Ellen DeGeneres: She makes good on her promises. Back when Kate McKinnon first performed a sketch on “Saturday Night Live” mocking the daytime TV host, she invited her to come on in order to have a little bit of fun in the future. Well, with the NBC comedy […]
