In stark contrast to last week’s disappointing repeat of the Hugh Laurie episode from December, this week’s repeat is one of this season’s finest, with TV, film, stage and internet star Neil Patrick Harris.
For a taste of what’s in store, visit NBC.com and check out the Save Broadway sketch.

Alec Baldwin returned to SNL as host for the 14th time on Valentine’s Day, along with some special celebrity guests, and teen heart throbs Jonas Brothers.
The opening sketch was pretty lame - a Republican gripefest over the Obama administration. It was so weak, not even Dan Aykroyd could save it. I kept thinking [...]

Tonight on SNL, Alec Baldwin returns as host, with musical guests Jonas Brothers.
Check out this PROMO for the ep, featuring Baldwin and the JoBros.
This is Baldwin’s 14th appearance as host.
Some of my fave sketches have feature Baldwin during his previous hosting stints - Canteen Boy and Schweddy Balls, just to name a couple - so [...]

Color me shocked - last night’s episode of SNL with host Bradley Cooper was one of the best this season!
Each sketch, from beginning to end, was consistently funny.
In Bradley Cooper’s opening monologue, he recounted his many appearances on Inside The Actors Studio - as a student - and James Lipton even made a brief appearance. [...]

Bradley Cooper takes on hosting duties for this episode of SNL. Who, you may ask? Don’t worry, I had to look him up as well. Turns out I do know who Bradley Cooper is! I knew him as “Hearts and Scalpels” leading man Aidan on Nip/Tuck, and from the hit film [...]

Steve Martin is the lone member of the 15 time club, yet that wasn’t enough to impress this long-time SNL viewer.  I expected so much more.  Much like his movie career of late, Martin’s latest foray into Studio 8H was mediocre at best.
It started off promising, and I particularly liked Steve Martin’s comment regarding President [...]

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?
I’ve never attended a taping, and I don’t know anyone personally that has been one of the lucky audience members over the years.  [...]

January 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment

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.
The Associated [...]
