Jason Reitman is giving us an inside look at the origins of one of the most influential comedy series with SNL 1975.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game has been announced, the latest in an increasingly long line of '80s horror movies turned into asymmetric multiplayer games.
Chris Rock has been tapped the 46th season premiere of Saturday Night Live on Oct. 3. The comedian will be joined in Studio 8H by musical guest Megan Thee Stallion. Megan Thee Stallion has never appeared on SNL before but her latest album, Suga, has garnered over 900 million streams to date thanks to the popular single "Savage," so she has more than earned this exciting opportunity, and I think she's well-paired with Rock. The episode will mark Rock's third time as host, and it couldn't come at a better time, seeing as how the new …
Saturday Night Live, the long-running sketch comedy show that still allegedly has full-time castmembers despite all evidence to the contrary, just announced that Jim Carrey will be playing Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in the upcoming 46th season. SNL is gearing up for a return to Studio 8H after a unique season shot from home, one that just happens to land in the middle of possibly the most batfuck insane election season of all time. Here's SNL creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels, speaking to Vulture, on how the show landed Carrey. “There was some interest on …
I found the SNL At Home episodes to be curious, and often successful, experiments. Without the big, broad, brightly lit traditions of Studio 8H and live audiences cackling, the cast and crew of Saturday Night Live were left to their own devices to create comedy with whatever was around them, revealing inadvertently which of the cast had experience and confidence creating their own content. But now, tradition takes over again. SNL's 46th season premiere date has been announced — alongside the news it will be returning to the studio for live broadcast.

Dr. Fauci shares his thoughts on Brad Pitt's Saturday Night Live Emmy nomination.
Saturday Night Live is expected to return to studio 8H this fall, albeit without an audience. Variety reports that Lorne Michaels is making plans to bring his cast and crew back together once again after the show's 45th season ended with three "at home" episodes that were filmed remotely by the cast members themselves. Of course, plans are just that, and no final decisions have been made yet, given the ongoing severity of the pandemic. Of course, it makes sense that SNL dispense with its live audience, as the safety of the show's cast and crew is paramount. …
While Saturday Night Live will forever reign as the longest-running, and arguably most influential, sketch comedy series in history, it's also quite often a launching pad to superstardom. Here are SNL's top stars' best comedies.
Saturday Night Live will be not-quite-live one last time this spring. NBC has announced that the Lorne Michaels-produced late-night mainstay will air its 45th season finale this Saturday, May 9. SNL's last traditionally produced episode was hosted by Daniel Craig on March 7. The last time a Saturday Night Live season was shorter than 20 episodes was in 2007-2008, when the WGA Writers Strike led to a three month gap in production. But after the eventual shutdown of all TV and film production in the United States, SNL was the first scripted series to …
Things are set to get real interesting for Saturday Night Live, which is set to return with a new episode tonight, Saturday, April 11. It's been a few weeks since the NBC live sketch comedy show was live on March 7. In its month-long absence, the way the world operates has drastically changed. As such, SNL has made a huge adjustment to how it'll do things, sticking to the "show must go on" maxim but opting to doing the show in a new way: at home and remotely. So, how can we all tune in to watch …
Saturday Night Live will return this weekend with original content amid the coronavirus pandemic that has brought the entertainment industry to its knees. The show will look a bit different, however, as segments will be produced remotely, and will likely be taped for broadcast rather than aired live. You can definitely count on seeing Weekend Update with Colin Jost and Michael Che, though again, it's unclear whether they'll be seated next to each other in their usual studio, or whether they'll record the segment from the safety of their own homes. NBC also promised there will be …
It looks like NBC staple Saturday Night Live is joining the growing number of movies and TV shows currently in production opting to shutdown and delay the release of new material over coronavirus concerns. Variety broke the news of SNL's shuttering per a source close to the show and the outlet. Neither NBC nor SNL have issued an official statement on the delay. The show was gearing up for a return on March 28 after a brief break with A Quiet Place II director John Krasinski set to host and Dua Lipa joining as the musical guest. It's …
Saturday Night Live celebrates the many contestants we've seen thus far on Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor in their skit titled 'Pilot Hunk.'
Modern-day Saturday Night Live has a spotty history of being funny on the actual day of production, much less in its short promos, so leave it to miracle worker Adam Driver to produce a genuinely chuckle-worthy guest spot. The Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker star is hosting the show on January 25th with musical guest Halsey, and he's arrived at Studio 8H absolutely ready to eff up a few leftover Christmas decorations. Despite the fact I firmly believe this sketch was only conceived and written for the sole purpose of seeing Adam Driver lift a tree …
Christopher Walken, renowned comedian and actor, lent his talents to Stephen King's The Dead Zone in 1983 before his days on Saturday Night Live.
Saturday Night Live has created some timeless Christmas-themed sketches over the years, and these are the funniest.
Saturday Night Live kicked off their 45th (how??) season last night with host Woody Harrelson, musical guest Billie Eilish, and some amusing, topical material like a perfect parody trailer for the new Downton Abbey movie. The feature-length film based on the Downton Abbey TV series is currently in theaters, making a killing both financially and critically, so it makes sense that it would get pegged from some of the season premiere's best jokes. Taking part in the Downton Abbey sketch were regular cast members Beck Bennett, Aidy Bryant, Cecily Strong, Alex Moffat, Mikey Day, and the newest cast …
