Last night (Dec. 6), Nicki Minaj was the musical guest on the James Franco-hosted episode of ‘SNL,’ and the hip-hop superstar absolutely killed it. Not only did Nicki perform an emotional rendition of her new song, ‘Bed of Lies,’ with Skylar Grey on piano, she also gave a flawless mash-up of ‘Only’ and ‘All Things Go.’

Ariana Grande has announced her first headlining North American tour in support of her new album, 'My Everything.'

Despite 'SNL' heading into its landmark 40th season (and shedding a few players in the process), things have been curiously quiet on the front of NBC's beloved sketch comedy show, particularly with regard to its initial hosts. Now, the network confirms that 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and 'Parks and Recreation' star Chris Pratt will host the September 27 premiere with musical guest Ariana Grande, preceding comedian Sarah Silverman, while rumors suggest legendary alum Bill Murray will follow!

'Saturday Night Live' didn't waste any time getting to the jokes about the Jay Z vs. Solange elevator fight incident, as the show opened with a fake family sketch starring 'SNL' cast members and a surprise guest star.

Big names popping by 'SNL' for brief appearances stopped being surprising a long time ago, but there's something really special about Barbara Walters stopping by Weekend Update. Maybe it's because Walters (with her 50 year television career) is a much bigger deal than a flavor-of-the-minute celebrity.

Drake is hosting and serving as the musical guest of 'SNL' this weekend (Jan. 18), a popular trend this season, with Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga recently pulling double duty.

'SNL' will make its 2014 debut this coming weekend with rapper Drake pulling double duty as both host and musical guest, but will cast members new and old pull focus from the Canadian performer? Find out in the first official promos from Drake's 2014 'SNL' premiere!

We like to imagine that most folk would be busy with preparations for the big game even late into Saturday night, but 'SNL' will have an MVP of its own come Super Bowl weekend. 'The Heat' star Melissa McCarthy will make her third hosting turn on the 'SNL' stage come February 1, but who will join as musical guest?

'SNL' certainly closed out 2013 right with Jimmy Fallon as host and Justin Timberlake returning as musical guest, an even episode that saw some of the long-running NBC sketch comedy series' best ratings in years, but will the first 2014 installment enter on the same high note? Learn who the first host and musical guest for 'SNL' will be in 2014!

'The Barry Gibb Talk Show' is one of the best recurring skits on 'SNL,' with Jimmy Fallon playing the bipolar Barry Gibb, who alternates between breaking out into falsetto and losing his mind on his guests if they open their mouths to talk, much less disagree with him.
