The Best and Worst of Last Night’s ‘SNL’ with James Franco
James Franco’s new film The Disaster Artist chronicles the making of Tommy Wiseau’s 2003 cult film The Room. While we’d rather be watching The Deuce, and not necessarily for Franco’s contributions, the actor hosted SNL last night to promote the movie and spread some Christmas cheer. While some of us are still weirded out over […]
The Best and Worst of Last Night’s ‘SNL’ with Saoirse Ronan
Trump, the tax bill, and sexual assault/harassment were the star topics of this week’s SNL. Such horrid talking points could only be softened by the appearance of actress Saoirse Ronan, who brought a lively energy and cheeriness to the series. Audiences should appreciate Ronan’s vocal talents more after hearing her range of accents on display […]
The Best and Worst of Last Night’s ‘SNL’ with Chance the Rapper
Chance the Rapper nailed it as host on last night’s SNL, even if the spotty as hell episode didn’t always provide him with much material to go on. From confused sports announcer and porn star, to high school nerd in love with his dad and more, Chance was up for whatever and full of enthusiasm. […]
The Best and Worst of Last Night’s ‘SNL’ with Tiffany Haddish
After another horrible week of media headlines about sexual predators in our government and rapists who make movies, actress Tiffany Haddish was a welcome presence to the Studio 8H stage. The Girls Trip star had energy to spare and jumped right into things with a can-do attitude. See how it all went down last night, […]
The Best and Worst of Last Night’s ‘SNL’ with Larry David
What do you get when you take one comedian willing to push boundaries, one actor who just admitted that he’s treated women like shit, and a very tense social climate where reports of sexual assault and harassment seem to be growing day by day? An awkward SNL that not everyone can appreciate. Find out how last […]
The Best and Worst of Last Night’s ‘SNL’ with Kumail Nanjiani
Kumail Nanjiani — who wrote and starred in The Big Sick, released this summer — technically made his second appearance on SNL last night. In 2008, the Pakistan-born actor had a part in the James Franco-hosted episode of the series as an “Indian reporter.” But last night was Nanjiani’s time to shine. His comedy style […]
The 14 Weirdest Horror Icon Appearances: Music Videos, ‘SNL,’ and Some Insane Commercials
In the necessary world of cinematic promotion, studios will do anything for publicity. Nowadays, it’s all viral internet campaigns and pop-up shops, but times weren’t always so simple. Without the internet, without VR experiences – without today’s “developed” advantages – marketing pros relied on much simpler means to drive their product. Maybe a music video featuring […]
The Best and Worst of Last Night’s ‘SNL’ with Gal Gadot
Israeli actress and Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot hosted SNL last evening with musical guest Sam Smith. There was a somber tone over the whole episode, despite it also being one of the strongest we can recall in recent memory. Country music singer Jason Aldean addressed the Las Vegas shooting in the opening of the […]
‘The Kids in the Hall’ May Return, Courtesy of ‘SNL’ Mastermind Lorne Michaels
When it comes to sketch comedy, most audiences are familiar with Saturday Night Live first and foremost, followed closely by Mad TV. But some audiences might remember the likes of In Living Color, The State, Upright Citizens Brigade, SCTV and The Kids in the Hall. If all goes according to plan, one of those shows […]
