Saturday Night Live is returning to the air this weekend with a new show, following the suspension of production on shows back in mid-March — when the worst of the coronavirus crisis was just starting to hit the US. In accordance with the stay-at-home order in New York, which as a state has more coronavirus …
The second sketch on Saturday Night Live this weekend pulled no punches and brilliantly tackled the downright bizarre saga of Jussie Smollett. Smollett, if you recall, is the Empire star who, by all accounts, staged his own mugging as part of an ill-conceived effort to make a name for himself and generate some buzz. As …
Just when you thought the political climate couldn’t get any more surreal, Kanye West last week had a bizarre and high-level meeting with Donald Trump in the Oval Office, all before the ogling eyes of dozens of reporters and photographers.

In a surprisingly strong first episode of Saturday Night Live’s 43rd season, the show’s cold open this weekend featured Alec Baldwin reprising his role as Donald Trump. And in typical fashion, the opening sketch also included some mockery of other prominent figures from Trump’s administration, including Jeff Sessions and Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the latter being Sean …
Saturday Night Live was in rare form this weekend, rolling out an incredibly funny and creative promo for a hypothetical Amazon Echo product geared specifically for the elderly. Whenever SNL turns its sights on the tech world, the results tend to be hit or miss, if not mostly lukewarm. But this time around, SNL hit it …
