NBC may have been busy today with some other big late-night news, but that will all fall by the wayside when 'Identity Thief' and 'Bridesmaids' star Melissa McCarthy returns to the 'SNL' stage for a second time, accompanied by musical guest Phoenix. McCarthy's performance earned praise the first time around despite some lackluster writing, so will lightning strike twice? Find out with the first promos for Melissa McCarthy's 'SNL' turn on April 6!
'SNL' has lost some major names in the last few years, particularly on the female side of things, and its latest could prove no less devastating. Talented comedienne and 'SNL' star Nasim Pedrad has officially signed on for producer Lorne Michaels new untittled NBC pilot, which would likely take precedence over the sketch comedy show if taken to series. Find out about Nasim Pedrad's new series inside!
While most would agree that this past weekend's 'SNL' host Kevin Hart did an admirable job picking up where 'Django Unchained' star Christoph Waltz left off, this weekend 'SNL' really pulls out the big guns tapping five-time guest Justin Timberlake as both host and musical guest. Expectations are sure to run high for the show, so how does an old pro like JT fair in the promos for this weekend? Get a sneak peek of Justin Timberlake without his "Suit & Tie" inside!
'SNL' is back with a real actor this week, after having musicians host two weeks in a row. Christoph Waltz of 'Django Unchained' drops by to spruce things up, but how did he do?
With 'Inglourious Basterds' and 'Django Unchained' star Christoph Waltz hosting, it was inevitable that last night's Saturday Night Live would contain some kind of Quentin Tarantino parody...and oh boy, did they deliver in the most offensively hilarious way possible. There's no reason for Tarantino to make a third historical revenge film now -- SNL has done it for him with 'Djesus Uncrossed.'
Considering his reputation as a teenage heartthrob, it would have been foolish of Saturday Night Live to not upend guest host Justin Bieber's romantic image. The resulting sketch was one of the most bizarre moments from last night's episode, painting Bieber as the last person any self respecting young woman should spend alone time with. Check out the scene for yourself below!
'SNL's recent run of putting musicians in the hosting position may have failed to impress, between such stars as Maroon 5's Adam Levine, Bruno Mars, and likely this Saturday's Justin Bieber double-feature, but movie stars will take back the limelight on February 16 when 'Django Unchained' and 'Inglorious Basterds' star Christoph Waltz takes the stage as host for the first time! Joined by the Alabama Shakes, what can we expect from Waltz's first turn on the 'SNL' stage? Find out inside!
As much as we enjoy Jay Pharoah's President Obama, he has nothing on Jason Sudeikis' Joe Biden. In the vast land of SNL political impressions, the veteran cast member's take on the Vice President of the United States is definitely top tier, generally stealing the spotlight from whoever else he is sharing the stage with. That means that a sketch completely centered around Biden's post-reelection victory party is more than welcome.
