Although some people think SNL is on the decline, it still catapults some of our favorite comedians into super stardom. Like, Bridesmaids star and writer Kristen Wiig. Wiig found her way into America’s heart playing the wacky and brilliant characters we’ve all come to love. Now, those characters are joining the ranks of Rachel Dratch’s Debbie Downer and Will Ferrell’s George W. Bush. This past Saturday Wiig danced her way to a good-bye in her touching final episode. Now, we can at least hope for a cameo here and there.
Even though she’s only just left, I’m looking forward to the reprisal of some of her best characters. Some of her memorable were recurring roles and others only graced our televisions once. Either way, here are some that I’ll never forget. Read More »
That’s the million dollar question, huh? I feel like we’ve been waiting so long for Lindsay Lohan to make a real comeback and steal our hearts like she did back in the day. After several stints in jail and her court fiascos, all of us have been wishing that cute little ginger would turn her life around. But she keeps proving us wrong over and over, so I don’t blame the world for thinking she can’t do it. On the flip side, someone’s got to give her a little hope. Leave it to the folks at Saturday Night Live to give her a billionth chance, and she thinks she did a great job.
Well, props to Lindsay for taking a break from the morgue to attempt a comeback at acting. It takes a lot of guts to make fun of yourself and all of your scandals on public television. Sadly, it wasn’t quite the performance we were looking for. In between jokes about her drug use, brief time as a lesbian, car chases, and bad movies, you can catch Lindsay staring at the cue cards and being super awkward. I couldn’t help but cringe.

Stick a fork in me, I’m done. Channing Tatum hosted Saturday Night Live last night. While SNL has had some pretty funny sketches lately, I thought last night’s episode was hilarious. Maybe I was distracted by Channing’s beautiful, chiseled jaw line and bulging biceps. Or maybe the show’s season is finally picking up speed. Channing’s former career as a stripper was spoofed, along with some politicians, an open-shirted Channing as Matthew McConaughey and Lana del Rey, who bombed her performance in January. Whether you think this episode is funny or not, you don’t want to miss out on the multiple instances of Channing’s hip thrusts and lip licking.
And I just think everyone needs to see Channing Tatum rip his shirt off… Read More »
For Chanukah there are many things I want from stores around town or off my favorite sites online, but this year I’d prefer some things I’ve learned from Saturday Night Live. Who said TV isn’t educational? It’s taught me about my true wants and desires. (Besides number 4, but I’m trying to help you girls out there any way I can.) If at least one of these come true, I’ll be happy to spin the dreidel and share my Chanukah gelt. Happy Holidays everyone!
Alec Baldwin hosted SNL (and Steve Martin made a guest appearance, it was funny. Watch it here.). Again. I’m not complaining because I love me some Jack Donaghy, but really guys? Was Steve Martin busy? (Actually, he wasn’t…he helped Baldwin host his 16th episode during his opening monologue). Also, has Bridesmaids not taught the SNL writers anything? Women are a lot funnier, nicer, smarter, skinnier and overall just plain better than men.
Now with that bashing aside: let me show you some potential hosts that would not only get the job done, but have hosted less then three times or haven’t hosted at all. Seriously, that is extremely low by SNL standards. Read More »
I was watching 7 Minutes in Heaven with Jason Sudeikis this morning and had a revelation: I think I like him.
Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I didn’t like him before, I just never really thought about him. But you know what? He’s kinda cute. And goofy. And I might not spending seven minutes in a closet with him. Just sayin’.
So, dear readers, have I been existing in my own bubble of ignorance on this one, or is everyone finally waking up to realize the dude’s kinda charming and funny in an awkward dad sort of way? Has my sudden desire to make out with anyone in sight caused this knee-jerk infatuation, or is he actually an acceptable male specimen? Help me out, guys!!
Chris Brown went from cute teen pop star to even cuter boyfriend of Barbadian goddess Rihanna, and ended up becoming the bad-boy of R&B. Or, more accurately, the guy who makes the music that we all feel guilty listening to because of the infamous incident.
Most of us can’t forget what Mr. Brown did to Rihanna, can’t get the images of her badly beaten face out of our minds. No matter how many catchy songs the guy attempts to put out.
Despite your opinions on how artists’ personal lives should influence their career, there’s no denying that Chris Brown messed up. Badly. In a very public way. In a perfect world, artists could pull a Miley/Hannah Montana-esque quick-change and keep their two worlds separate, but we know that’s impossible. So why is SNL choosing to promote and support him with the music guest spot on the February 12th episode?
