SNL 42 review

Going into this weekend’s Saturday Night Live with Melissa McCarthy, a Sean Spicer impersonation was an absolute given. There was footage of the actress driving around New York City on her magic podium, so the big question was when it’d turn up more so than if. The “when” was not in the start of the […]

Before going into this weekend’s new episode of Saturday Night Live hosted by Chris Pine, all indications were that we were not going to be seeing Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump. Did that pattern hold? Well, it seemed to as the show started off with a Morning Joe spoof as opposed to anything with Baldwin front and center … though […]

Given the sheer amount of star power that Jimmy Fallon attracts, it was hard to tell who would open his edition of Saturday Night Live. How about with Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump? We actually didn’t think that we were going to get this given that he just appeared on the show last week, but we […]

Tonight, Saturday Night Live is being hosted by Louis CK, but we know that the main event for the start of the show was going to be seeing the latest Donald Trump “highlight” courtesy of one Alec Baldwin. Indications before the show suggested that he would be returning, and the easy guess was that we’d get a […]

Going into Saturday Night Live this weekend, we had a pretty good feeling that we were going to see an appearance from Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump. He wasn’t there last week, and given that he was not on the show this past week, we had to assume that he would be here. What was a […]

Tonight’s Octavia Spencer episode of Saturday Night Live had a lot of hype going into it, and there was one reason why: Donald Trump. We have this mental imagine of the writers throwing everything into the dumpster come this morning, when they learned what the President had to say in his latest conspiracy theory all about Barack […]

The moment that Alec Baldwin was announced as the host for this weekend’s new episode of “Saturday Night Live,” you knew that there was a PRETTY good chance that there would be a Donald Trump cold open. There have been crazier weeks for Trump, but even saying that is somewhat crazy when you think about […]

Tonight, we assumed that “Saturday Night Live” would open with a political Cold Open, mostly because it’s hard to even fathom just what else the show would want to do at this point in 2017. There’s SO much material there, even if there is no Alec Baldwin to play Donald Trump. Given that he’s hosting […]

Was it that hard to predict that Alec Baldwin would return as Donald Trump for this weekend’s new episode of “Saturday Night Live“? We don’t quite think so, given that yesterday was the Inauguration. It was a toss-up as to whether or not the Cold Open was going to be about either the event or […]
