NBC taps ‘SNL’ anchors for Emmy Awards

sudshr47 April 26, 2018

NBC will reportedly turn to Saturday Night Live‘s “Weekend Update” anchors Michael Che and Colin Jost to host the 2018 Emmy Awards.

This marks a change from several years of white-male late night hosts (well, a gradual change) and increases likelihood of more SNL cast members joining the telecast (KATE. MCKINNON).

“We’re proud to be the first duo hosting the Emmys since Jenna Elfman and David Hyde Pierce, and somehow that’s a real fact,” the duo told Variety. Wow, how is that a fact?

With so many award shows in the last few years being emceed by late night hosts, Che and Jost are SNL‘s next best thing. They aren’t the most prolific or most tenured cast members (Kenan Thompson has been there 15 years), but as the show’s head writers they have a unique grasp of the intersection of news and entertainment.

sudshr47 April 15, 2018

Donald Glover will be pulling a rare double-duty on Saturday Night Live in May.

Saturday Night Live announced Sunday morning that renaissance man Donald Glover will be hosting the show on May 5 with musical guest Childish Gambino, a.k.a. the rapper alter ego of Donald Glover.

Attention Donald Glover fans… you don’t want to miss this one. @childishgambino #SNL

Here’s why Bill Hader broke character on Weekend Update

sudshr47 March 20, 2018

We can’t help but love it when performers break character on Saturday Night Live, which is exactly what happened when Bill Hader brought back Stefon while hosting on March 17.

He was joined on “Weekend Update” by comedian John Mulaney, who writes Stefon, and who whispered a little something in Hader’s ear to make him break while live.

Mulaney played Stefon’s lawyer, and he whispered in Hader’s ear: “My girlfriend works at Yoshinoya beef bowl.” Yup, that’s what set him off.

To be fair, Hader always breaks while playing Stefon, the nightlife connoisseur who ended Hader’s tenure at the show by running away and marrying Seth Meyers. Hader appeared on Meyers’ show this week to discuss the episode and jokes that made them laugh over the years. Read more…

‘SNL’ reveals unseen ‘Black Panther’ scene that includes your new favorite character

sudshr47 March 11, 2018

If you thought you knew everything there is to know about Marvel’s Black Panther, think again.

Saturday Night Live revealed a deleted scene from the movie that shows T’Challa — played by Chris Redd — meeting all sorts of ancestors in Djalia.

His great, great grandfather (Sterling K. Brown) is there, his great aunt (Leslie Jones), and even his wacky, barbecue-loving uncle by marriage, Uncle M’Butu (Kenan Thompson).

Learn what Djalia’s like when T’Challa is away, and get some insight into the struggles of fitting into a family of panthers when you’re more of a warthog.

Returning to the land of purple skies will inspire you but also make you laugh so hard you might want Uncle M’Butu to make an appearance in the Black Panther sequel. Read more…
