Sia’s story of meeting Donald Trump on ‘SNL’ comes with a crappy twist ending

Way back in 2015, before he was firing everyone from his golden toilet in the White House, Donald Trump just wanted a photo with Sia.
In a Rolling Stone profile published Friday, the singer recalled how Trump politely took it in stride when she decli…

‘Saturday Night Live’ wants Obama to do ‘Black Jeopardy’

TwitterFacebook

“Black Jeopardy” has become one of the most indelible sketches in Saturday Night Live‘s 40-plus-year tenure, and the cast and writers behind it want a shot with the man himself: Barack Obama.

“I think Obama would be a lot of fun on Black Jeopardy,” Kenan Thompson told Vulture in an oral history of the sketch. “I feel like he could do it. If we reached out and had a good enough idea for him, he’ll come do it.”

“Black Jeopardy” started in 2015 and has only been in five episodes of SNL, which seems shockingly low considering how amusing and salient the sketch is. Thompson, Michael Che, and Bryan Tucker discussed the origins and evolution of this sketch and all the ideas that might still make it on the air. Read more…

Saturday Night Live Season 43 wasted no time in getting right to it, tackling sexual harassment, the ongoing Trump presidency, and all manner of pop culture and news with incisive humor, and sometimes some music.

Here are our favorite sketches from Season 43 of Saturday Night Live.

10. Stranger Things 3

The kids of Hawkins are growing up on Stranger Things, something that got harder to ignore with Season 2. Puberty is afoot, and Eleven (Natalie Portman) meets other mutants like her, but all their abilities come with a side effect like those nosebleeds. The sketch includes vomit, farts, and boners – and simple human Mike can’t hide how horny he is. Read more…

Tina Fey reprises her hilarious Sarah Palin impression on ‘SNL’

TwitterFacebook

Whatever you may remember about Sarah Palin, things look pretty different in politics now than they did when she was on the Republican ticket as John McCain’s running mate. 

Tina Fey reprised her legendary Palin impression while hosting Saturday Night Live‘s season finale on May 19, leading the gone-but-not-yet-forgotten faces of the Trump White House in a chorus of “What I Did For Trump.”

Fey’s Palin is joined by Michael Wolff (Fred Armisen), Rex Tillerson (John Goodman), Sarah Huckabee-Sanders (Aidy Bryant), Kellyanne Conway (Kate McKinnon), Stormy Daniels (Cecily Strong), and Omarosa Manigault (Leslie Jones). They may have been fired – or quit, truth is a construct now! – but we still remember them… er, when someone reminds us. Read more…

Female friendship has an edge (and Nicki Minaj) in cut ‘SNL’ song

TwitterFacebook

Female friendship is a delicate wonder – just ask the women of SNL‘s cut “Female Friendship” sketch from the Tina Fey-hosted season finale on May 19. Fey, Aidy Bryant, and Kate McKinnon are just a few girlfriends at a bar, but make no mistake – they’ll carve up your life to defend their friends.

A group of girlfriends goes to a bar and encounters a series of predicaments we’ve all been through; the person who refuses to remember you, the apathetic ex, the lying coworker. The ladies (and musical guest Nicki Minaj) sing about the joys of female friendship, like stalking someone you hate on Instagram and finding their every flaw because they insulted your friend. Who hasn’t been there? Read more…

‘SNL’ sketch explains why Tina Fey isn’t in the ‘Mean Girls’ musical

TwitterFacebook

Mean Girls is a musical now, but fans of the movie keep asking: Why isn’t Tina Fey in the musical?

The SNL season finale, hosted by Fey, answers that question – and her absence seems to be for the best.

The sketch – filmed away from the SNL studio – shows Fey saying in interviews that she doesn’t want to be in the musical, that she doesn’t need to be like Lin-Manuel Miranda (who makes an appearance to address this shade). Still, she clearly wants her shot, so the director gives her a chance.

Fey may not be the best Cady, Gretchen, or even North Shore Lion mascot, but the sketch reminds us how brilliantly adept she is at comedy, including the physical (that Lion costume takes a tumble). In the end she decides to sit the show out, and that she doesn’t have to bike Lin. Read more…

Surprise! Donald Trump faked a phone call to look cool when hosting ‘SNL’

TwitterFacebook

The cast and crew of Saturday Night Live may have got a peek at the braggadocious Trump presidency when he hosted the show in 2015. 

Cast member Pete Davidson recalled that Trump was “weird all week” and at one point, faked a phone call – and didn’t even make it look real.

According to Davidson – whose impression is subtle but pretty damn good – Trump picked up a phone that didn’t even ring. He said: “Hello? Fantastic, okay great,” and then announced to the room, “Hey everybody, my book just went No. 1.” (The book, which released a week later, debuted at #5.) Read more…
