Ben Stiller Culture Talk Show The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Tina Fey

All the hilarious things that happened during Jimmy Fallon’s 5th anniversary special

sudshr47 February 26, 2019

Jimmy Fallon just celebrated five years of hosting The Tonight Show with an episode like no other.

The anniversary special, featuring celebrity guests Tina Fey, Ben Stiller, and Australian TV personality Robert Irwin – all being really, really mean to Fallon – was more like an darkly funny episode of sitcom than the regular upbeat talk show. Per Esquire, the whole episode was in fact an homage to the ’90s sitcom The Larry Sanders Show.

The Larry Sanders Show, starring comedian Garry Shandling, centred around the behind-the-scenes operations of a talk show, and was in fact inspired by The Late Show in the years when Johnny Carson hosted the talk show. Read more…

Your faves Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, and Amy Poehler sang ‘Shallow’ and Lady Gaga loved it

sudshr47 February 25, 2019

The very first musical performance of Oscars night was from Queen, but the second came from Maya Rudolph, Tina Fey, and Amy Poehler.

The SNL vets belted out a few lines from “Shallow” while gearing up to present the first award of the night, Best Supporting Actress (which Regina King won for If Beale Street Could Talk). And Lady Gaga herself seems to have been a fan, laughing along in the audience.

In their time on stage, the trio also skewered this year’s tumultuous lead-up to the Oscars, the president’s longed-for border wall, and the infamous Fyre Festival sandwiches – while cracking cheesy puns about the nominees. (“My Spanx are moving into my Spider-Verse,” joked Poehler.) Read more…

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

sudshr47 May 20, 2018

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

sudshr47 May 20, 2018

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

sudshr47 May 20, 2018

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…

Tina Fey and Rachel Dratch rep their colonial Super Bowl LII teams on ‘SNL’

sudshr47 February 4, 2018

Pete Davidson has come to this assembly of Founding Fathers in 1775, to bring us tidings of a momentous win at Bunker Hill by the American colonies against the British. Welcome news indeed! And joining the celebrations are a group of patriots from New England, where the battle was won!

Leading the horde of heavy Boston accents was none other than Rachel Dratch – whose “Boston Teen” persona “Zazu” appeared in numerous sketches over the course of her tenure on the show. The group of red, white, and blue-clad colonists are boisterous in their praise of “Captain Thomas Brady,” who overcame an armada of Brits to rally for the win. Read more…
