Getty Image Will SNL ever end? The late night sketch show is closing in on its 50th anniversary, and save the first half of the ‘80s it’s been run by the same guy: Lorne Michaels. That’s a long time to be with any job, and at least one longtime cast member, Kenan Thompson, thinks the …

Getty Image In addition to pushing the boundaries of hip-hop, Kid Cudi has long held a reputation for also pushing those of fashion. He solidified his adventurous sense of style in 2021, when he performed on Saturday Night Live wearing a white floral dress by Off-White, the brand founded by his friend Virgil Abloh, in …
New York City Mayor Eric Adams is perhaps the nation’s most well-known public official and its most infamously private individual. While constantly appearing at events in the Big Apple, mangling language in pressers and interviews, the mayor simultaneously tries to keep elements of his private life completely under wraps, so much so that as he …
The most recent episode of Saturday Night Live was (partly) about embracing the holiday spirit. Kate McKinnon’s opening monologue ushered in the Christmas cheer. Even musical guest Billie Eilish rounded out her performance of “What Was I Made For?” with “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.” But the pair’s joint skit allowed them to put …
Getty Image The latest episode of SNL was centered (partially) around Christmas, signaling that the year is almost at an end. The Cold Open was about the holidays.

Last week was not a great one for Rudy Giuliani. Most weeks over the last three years have not been great for the very former “America’s Mayor,” but usually they’re simply humiliating. This one was gutting. First it was revealed he’s basically broke. Then a judge ordered him to pay a staggering amount to the …
Every year, for the year’s final SNL, Weekend Update hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost have a fun little tradition. It’s called “Joke Swap,” and it’s just that: Che forces Jost to read jokes he wrote for him, and vice versa. Che’s jokes for Jost, though, are a little special: They usually involve forcing him …
SNL Cold Opens aren’t always great. Some are actively bad. The one last week, though, was a rarity: a true epic misfire. It saw the live sketch show taking on a powder keg situation: university students protesting Israel’s continued attacks on Palestine. To say they didn’t handle it well would be an understatement. Original star …
In the final Saturday Night Live episode of 2023, Billie Eilish made a TK return as tonight’s musical guest. During her first performance of the night, the prolific recording artist delivered a TK rendition of her Barbie soundtrack anthem, “What Was I Made For?” While on stage, Eilish delivered hauntingly beautiful vocals — surpassing the …
SNL musical guests don’t usually share what songs they’re playing in advance, but that’s precisely what Billie Eilish did during Thursday’s episode of The Tonight Show. One of them, at least. “We’re building for Saturday Night Live. It’s coming up this Saturday. Kate McKinnon is the host, who is unbelievable. She was great in Barbie,” …

Even though it’s currently the 14th highest grossing movie of all time, Barbie gobbled up all the bucks despite being not being a franchise movie. It’s not even getting a sequel (though it might — maybe, maybe not — get a Ken spinoff). What it did do was inspire toy company Mattel to do the …

Is Home Alone 2: Lost in New York the best Christmas movie? No. It’s not even the best Home Alone movie (that would be the one without a bullying cameo from Donald Trump). But it’s not without its holiday season charms, especially the scene where Kevin (played by Hollywood Walk of Fame inductee Macaulay Culkin) …
