Tonight on SNL, history is made as Steve Martin hosts for a record-breaking 15 time!
Some of SNL’s most memorable sketches have included Mr. Martin, so here’s hoping the writers brought their A-game (following the horrendous episode with Rosario Dawson two weeks ago). I’ve always enjoyed his appearances over the years, so I’m [...]

It seems SNL has some impressive viewers …
Singer John Legend was filming backstage at the January 18th inaugural concert, which captured some of the world’s top musicians giddily awaiting their chance to greet the President and First Lady. I don’t think anyone was prepared for the following exchange, as transcribed by EW’s Popwatch:

Michelle Obama: [...]

Have any readers actually been to an SNL taping before?
I’d like to hear your experiences. How did you get your tickets?  What year was it?  Who was the host and musical guest?

One of SNL’s funniest sketches of this season nearly didn’t happen. In a pre-Grammy Awards interview with Katie Couric, Justin Timberlake revealed that Beyonce had some serious reservations about the “Single Ladies” sketch, which put JT, Andy Samberg and Bobby Moynihan in tights and heels as backup dancers for the diva’s latest video.

I just couldn’t resist posting another classic Steve Martin clip!
Does anyone else remember King Tut?


I think this musical number was so popular because people remember the insanity surrounding the King Tut exhibit whenever it came to town. Although I didn’t make it to the museum when it was [...]

In case you haven’t heard, Steve Martin is hosting SNL next Saturday for the 15th time. That’s unprecedented on the show until now.
Since 1976, his appearances have created some of the most memorable characters. One of my faves has always been Martin and Dan Aykroyd as those “wild and crazy guys” The Festrunk [...]

Tonight’s on SNL is a repeat of the holiday episode featuring John Malkovich.

I couldn’t possibly imagine any of the current players on SNL as Sarah Palin, after Tina Fey’s insanely great performances last fall leading up to the US Presidential Election.
A few names have been tossed around by Fey as to who her successor will be, which includes Kristen Wiig. But Wiig doesn’t want the role.
She [...]
