• Best Skits From Kristen Wiig Hosting SNL

  In Entertainment, Television / 15 May 2013 / 0 comments

  

  Kristen Wiig was on the other side of the SNL fence last Saturday, hosting for the first time since leaving the show last season. She came back in style, bringing with her some of our favorite characters from her days as a cast member. The Californians, Target Lady, Garth and Kat and Lawrence Welk all came back to say hello, and with them the nostalgia that made Wiig a household name. She also came at us with a couple new characters that will have you on the floor, rolling in true Kristen Wiig form. Hands down, the best skit of the night was about a new show on The Disney Channel  ”Aw Nuts! Mom’s a Ghost!” is about a family with a dark past, but now with more spirit than ever. Wiig’s performance was a lot to live up to and the skits were funny, but sub-par given Kristen’s history and on screen amity with the current cast. The skits below we’re the funniest of the show, but we expect more from a cast member who’s jersey is already up in the rafters after a year of departure.  

• Justin Timberlake ’20/20 Experience’ Volume Two Coming Later This Year Says Questlove

  In Music / 18 March 2013 / 0 comments

  

  Hot on the heels of his highly anticipated SNL hosting gig and following a weeklong stint on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon alongside the Roots, Justin Timberlake gears up for the release of 20/20 Experience this week. For the past few months, Timberlake was hard at work promoting the new album, his first since FutureSex/LoveSounds in 2006. The latest member inducted into SNL’s elite Five-Timers Club will join Jay-Z for the Legends of Summer tour and co-headline the Yahoo! On The Road tour that hits 14 cities within the United States kicking off in New York City on May 3 and ending in San Francisco in May 31. Still, the new album, Legends tour and festival appearances notwithstanding, the item generating a huge amount of buzz is news that a followup album to “20/20 Experience” could hit just a few months from now. The Roots drummer Questlove got the inside scoop. “Spoiler alert. 20/20 Vol 2 comes out in nov. (10 songs now . . . 10 songs later= 20 vision),” he posted on an Okayplayer chat board over the weekend. Yes, that’s right. He is saying a second album will be released sometime around November. 10 songs on this album + 10 more »

• You’re a Rat Bastard Charlie Brown (SNL Video)

  In Awesome / 18 December 2012 / 0 comments

  

  SNL breaks out the big guns for this holiday stage rendition of A Charlie Brown Christmas, staring Al Pacino, Edie Falco, Phillip Seymore Hoffman, Michael Keaton and Larry David. A real knee slapper that deserves a little Roosevelts recognition. Hader’s impression as Pacino could be the best thing SNL has produced since the digital short. The only thing better than this, would be a full feature featuring this cast.  

• There’s One of These Girls at Every Party (SNL Video)

  In Comedy / 17 December 2012 / 0 comments

  

  Seth brings on, SNL rookie, Cecily Strong as ”The girl you wish you hadn’t started a conversation with at a party” and it’s all too close to home, this highly accurate depiction gave me chills. There’s one at every party, bar and lounge in America. A cute girl with potential, who’s just drunk enough to be annoying and just annoying enough to completely dissolve every morsel of norepinephrine you had in your body. She’s self righteous, entitled, sprinkled with some ignorance and topped off with a humble brag. Beware; If you spot an attractive girl standing by herself at a party, this is probably why.

• Bill Hader Explains Stefon on Bill Simmons Grantland Podcast

  In Television / 21 November 2012 / 0 comments

  

  Hader and Simmons, two of the industry’s most creative writers, discuss Bill’s SNL character, Stefon, a Weekend Update regular that has taken the show by storm. The two discuss the origins of the character and the process of creating New York’s most outlandish and eccentric fictional clubs. Hader’s been the show’s saving grace for quite a few years now and has been a supporting actor in a good line of movies and countless Adult Swim TV shows, as well as a writer on South Park. I think It’s just a matter of time until he’ll be hosting SNL, so drink in all the Haderade while you can.

  We’re in Newport, CA about to crash a few blowout 4th of July house parties but since beach/street drinking is strictly frowned upon we had to divise a quick drinking game to get a solid buzz going in our hotel. What better way then the SNL skit we’ve been quoting for the last three days. The Californians it is.

• Mick Jagger + Foo Fighters + Arcade Fire + Kristen Wiig’s Goodbye Made For An Incredible SNL Season FInale

  In Television / 20 May 2012 / 2 comments

  

  This was the season finale for Saturday Night Live and they had an impressive lineup including Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, Foo Fighters, and Arcade Fire. There are rumors that this was the last episode for Adam Samberg, Kristen Wiig and Jason Sudeikis. If Samberg is leaving that could also mean that Digital Shorts are also gone. Former SNL cast member Chris Parnell returned to the show to make “Lazy Sunday 2,” the sequel of one of the first ever Digital Shorts that originally aired in 2005.
