saturday night live

The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon might be prone to brief spats of name-dropping – hey, the guy knows a lot of people! – but on last night’s show, it was at least somewhat appropriate. Still recovering from Sunday night’s SNL 40 super special, Fallon was eager to share his recollections of the evening with his studio audience (and also Questlove, who was actually there, but who charitably recounted the whole evening with the giddy Fallon). There were a lot of people there!

Mike Meyers returned to Saturday Night Live this weekend and brought with him an old friend: Dr. Evil.

Appearing on 'Saturday Night Live' is one of the biggest promotional coups any musician can score, especially in the coveted gig as host. The show mostly targets pop and rock audiences, but some country music fans have started an online campaign to get country's reigning couple, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert, as the host and musical guest for an upcoming show.

As if surprise guest stars like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Tracy Morgan, Chris Kattan, and Horatio Sanz wasn’t enough, this weekend’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ also had an appearance by a major film star: Jude Law. Law showed up on ‘Weekend Update’ to discuss the craft of acting with Nicolas Cage in another edition of ‘In the Cage.’

One of the great holiday memories from the ‘Saturday Night Live’ of the 1990s is the ‘I Wish It Was Christmas Today” song that Jimmy Fallon, Tracy Morgan, Chris Kattan and Horatio Sanz used to perform. This year, our holiday wished came true and we got to see it again last night when Fallon hosted the show.

Scotty McCreery can now add being mocked on ‘Saturday Night Live’ to his ever-growing ‘you know you’ve made it when’ list. Singer Michael Buble appeared on the show on Saturday (Dec. 17) as the musical guest, and got a chance to show his funny side in a funny skit promoting his “new Christmas album,” ‘Michael Buble Christmas Duets,’ which features ‘The Trouble With Girls’ singer, as well as Taylor

By now everyone knows that Tim Tebow developed a habit of kneeling and praying at each football game, right? Well, in case you all were wondering if this ritual has any effect on the game, someone very special to the football star showed up on ‘Saturday Night Live‘ to clear the air. Yup, Jesus-impersonating Jason Sudeikis himself!

Last night’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ was all about remembering the good times with ex-cast members like Jimmy Fallon, who hosted, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. All three big names are former Weekend Update anchors, and what better way for them to celebrate the fond memories than to throw down a good, old-fashioned ‘Joke Off?’

Here’s a great holiday treat for ‘Saturday Night Live’ fans: Weekend Update’s club guru Stefon shows up on the show’s official Christmas card this year. And it’s not just any picture that’s used for the card, it’s the Norman Rockwell classic “Freedom From Want” painting, with the woman serving a turkey to her happy family. A wholesome scene perfect for a Stefon “photo bomb.”

If you can’t tell by Alec Baldwin’s feud with American Airlines over the whole Words with Friends fiasco, the actor just can’t seem to leave well enough alone. You knew that ‘SNL’ was going to do something about it, but Baldwin actually appeared on the show. And how did he appear? As the pilot of the American Airlines flight he was kicked off of!

Steve Buscemi has played a lot of “creepy” roles in the past — his words, not ours — and perhaps that’s why when he appeared on ‘SNL‘ as Coach Bert, everyone thought he was a pedophile.

You know how Batman always seems to pop up suddenly and surprisingly in all the Batman movies? Well, imagine that you’re Steve Buscemi and Batman is popping up in your kitchen, at your doctor’s appointment and in your bed (not just your bedroom, but your bed). That’s what happened on ‘Saturday Night Live’s’ digital short this weekend.
