Alec Baldwin demanded we overthrow Donald Trump and the government he’s installed. Although the actor and ongoing Saturday Night Live Donald Trump stand-in was impassioned throughout a speech he delivered Sunday night at a Democratic fundraiser in New Hampshire, Baldwin – who owns a history of hot-headed behavior – made it clear the this dismantling should be done by peaceful means. “It is time to overthrow the government of Donald

Seth Meyers is coming back to host Saturday Night Live this week after leaving the cast in 2014. We think that’s pretty awesome! In 13 years on the show, Meyers was a cast member, a Weekend Update host, and served as head writer for almost nine years. While he left the show to replace Jimmy Fallon at Late Night, his time on SNL gave birth to iconic sketches, timeless characters,

It’s comforting to know that president-elect Donald Trump is such a huge fan of comedy that, despite his busy schedule of meeting with some of the country’s worst possible candidates for his cabinet positions, he’s still making time to watch Saturday Night Live. How would we know such a seemingly mundane, unimportant detail about the man who will become the most powerful world leader this January? Well, it’s because part

In what was arguably the most anticipated episode of Saturday Night Live in recent history due, in part, to our recent presidential election, in which American lost their fucking minds and sort of election and insane sociopath to our highest office and, in part, due to Dave Chappelle hosting the show, the veteran comedian delivered a wholly hilarious and thoughtful stand-up set. “Why do we have to say that black

In spite of Hillary Clinton’s shocking loss to Donald Trump of the presidential election on Tuesday night,Kate McKinnon reprised her version of Clinton for Saturday Night Live’s cold open last night, in what will go down as the most emotional, somber opening of the sketch show’s history. Simultaneously honoring singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen, who died the day before the election at age 82, McKinnon played Cohen’s classic and often-covered “Hallelujah” with

Depending on what side of the political fence you’re on, you may be thinking that Saturday Night Live has been killing it so far this season. Their comedy coverage of the three presidential debates starring Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton and Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump (the last of which dropped this weekend, naturally during the latest episode’s cold open) and one vice presidential debate has been, in my opinion,

Something strange in the neighborhood, who you gonna tweet? Well, you can tweet Leslie Jones again, because the Ghostbusters star is back on social media. The Saturday Night Live favorite disappeared from Twitter and Snapchat following a website hack — currently under investigation by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security — that revealed nude photos of the actress, along with passport and driver’s license information. Jones returned to Twitter with the

Did Saturday Night Live plagiarize its “Picture Perfect” sketch from a Canadian satire series? The much-discussed SNL skit about drawing Muhammad is strikingly similar to one that appeared on This Hour Has 22 Minutes in January. “Picture Perfect” starred Taran Killam as host of a Pictionary-esque game show. A contestant played by Bobby Moynihan was then given the prompt “Muhammad” and had no idea where to begin. He stammered that he

This year Tommy Boy turned 20 years old. So, I promptly went out and bought a subscription to AARP Magazine. And then exclaimed “holy shnikes!” as any sensible Chris Farley fan would do. But for real, it’s really been 20 years? Seems like only yesterday we were reenacting all our favorite lines from the very best Farley/Spade vehicle – and truthfully, who doesn’t still bust out “fat guy in a

Black Widow finally got her own movie on Saturday Night Live. In a hilarious spoof of male-dominated superhero films, SNL introduced a spoof trailer for a Marvel rom-com starring Scarlett Johansson. Johansson, of course, plays Black Widow in the various Avengers movies, the latest of which hits theaters this weekend. The films have been box-office blockbusters, with Black Widow in particular stealing the show. This has led many to wonder

Michael Keaton brought back his beloved characters Batman and Beetlejuice during his Saturday Night Live appearance. But it took some prodding from the SNL cast members during the opening monologue. Keaton shot back into the spotlight last year after playing a washed-up superhero actor in Birdman. But for who grew up in the 1980s, he is still known as Batman and Beetlejuice, despite appearing in those movies more than 20 years

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Bambi? If that sounds like something out of a Saturday Night Live skit, that’s because it was. The Fast & Furious 7 star mocked Disney’s penchant for live-action remakes (see: Cinderella and Maleficent) in a hilarious fake trailer on SNL. This “New Disney Movie” SNL skit imagined what would happen if the studio took The Rock and all of his action film co-stars and dropped
