SNL

This was probably the best bit from Louis C.K.’s hosting gig on SNL this weekend. Actually, all the bits with C.K. were funny.

Might have to make the effort to watch this one live. Or, during Sunday morning coffee hour. Either way. On another note, does anyone else feel like SNL has taken it to another level this season? They really seem to be going for it.

Everything about this sketch from last night’s SNL is so spot-on it’s not even funny. Except it is. Maybe it’s too inside tech baseball for most people, but since this pertains to my job all I could do was nod my head at all the jokes. The tech press really is this bad sometimes. I [...]

Speaking of SNL from this past weekend, star Kristen Wiig’s final goodbye was surprisingly more emotional than I thought it would be.

In case you missed it this weekend. Not as hilarious as the first, but then, few moments from the past decade of SNL were.

Segel scored majorly great ratings for his episode of SNL, which either [...]

In an otherwise uninteresting article about Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s faux-outrage over Fred Armisen’s impression of him on SNL, the article ended with this phenomenal line: The mayor has appeared on episodes of “Curb Your Enthusiam,” “Law & Order” and “30 Rock.” He also played himself in the Matt Damon stinker “The Adjustment Bureau,” which marked the true [...]

Anna Farris hosted SNL this past weekend and starred in one of the funnier and bizarre sketches in quite some time. No use ruining for it, but she plays a woman contestant on a Lifetime game show called “What’s Wrong With Tanya?” where mothers have to guess what’s wrong with their daughter. Perfect.

This was really the only moment from last night’s SNL that was really, really good. Stefan and Zoolander together? Perfect.
