This weekend will mark a monumental occasion for 'SNL,' not only elevating season finale host Ben Affleck into the five-timers club, but also bidding a fond farewell to veteran Bill Hader, potentially Jason Sudeikis and Fred Armisen as well. Less impressed with the proceedings is the controversial Kanye West, who barely manages to hid his disdain in the most recent promos for this weekend's all-new 'SNL.'

'SNL' will say goodbye to eight-year veteran Bill Hader this weekend, potentially Jason Sudeikis and Fred Armisen as well during the Ben Affleck-hosted season finale, but newly-minted 'Late Night' host Seth Meyers isn't going anywhere yet.

Jacob Hall — Sun, 05 May 2013 16:19:22 +0000

SNL has made fun of 'Game of Thrones' before, but with the third season of HBO's fantasy series reaching all time high ratings, it was certainly time for a revisit. However, the target this time isn't the show itself, but rather the fans. Check it out below.

SNL: Zach Galifianakis Kills With His Opening Monologue

Jacob Hall — Sun, 05 May 2013 15:49:03 +0000

Some SNL hosts just feel like they were born to be on that stage and Zach Galifiankis is one of them. Rather than do a traditional monologue, he performed six minutes of his oddball, avant garde stand-up comedy. It was a great reminder that he may be a big movie star now, but he's still one of the great modern comedians.

You've Got to Watch SNL's Fake New Balance Commerical

Jacob Hall — Sun, 05 May 2013 15:22:25 +0000

Even after all of these years, SNL does fake commercials better than everyone else. However, last night's New Balance commercial parody is the cream of the crop -- it's hard to remember the last time the show made a fake ad that was this funny and spot-on. Check it out below.

SNL: Martha Stewart Joins Match.com

Jacob Hall — Sun, 05 May 2013 15:07:24 +0000

The past week has seen no shortage of jokes concerning Martha Stewart joining Match.com, but there was no way SNL wasn't going to get in on this action. After all, what kind of comedy variety show would it be if it didn't let one of the cast members break out a Martha Stewart impression?

'SNL' Preview: Zach Galifianakis Brings Pretty Nail Art to Studio 8H

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 01 May 2013 21:29:17 +0000

May will no doubt prove to be one of 'SNL's' biggest months in years, with the recent announcements of alumni Kristen Wiig and 'Argo's' Ben Affleck to host, but this Saturday's all-new installment featuring 'The Hangover Part 3' star Zach Galifianakis and Of Monsters and Men will certainly kick things off right. Get a sneak peek of Galifianakis' third-time hosting inside!

'SNL' Preview: May Brings Kristen Wiig, Ben Affleck and Kanye West!

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 17:15:22 +0000

Vince Vaughn's first 'SNL' hosting gig in over a decade might have felt a bit undercooked, something we're hoping two-time host and 'The Hangover Part 3' star Zach Galifianakis will fix in his May 4 outing, but it's the rest of 'SNL's' all-star May lineup that really brings the A game. Not only will beloved former cast member Kristen Wiig return to the 'SNL' stage for her first hosting gig, but so will Ben Affleck, with musical guest Kanye West! Preview 'SNL's' all-star May inside!

'SNL' Taps Zach Galifianakis for Third Hosting Gig

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 14:18:24 +0000

'The Internship' star Vince Vaughn's recent 'SNL' hosting gig might have been a mixed bag of cobras, Vaughn not having hosted the late-night sketch comedy series in about 15 years, but the newest host revealed during the airing is more than enough to have us excited. 'The Hangover Part 3' star Zach Galifianakis will take the stage once again on May 4, joined by Icelandic group Of Monsters and Men, but will the third time for Galifianakis be as successful as his third 'Hangover'?

'The Voice' Spoofed on 'SNL'

Kat Lee — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 21:28:59 +0000

Casey Battersix is quite the hot commodity on SNL's version of 'The Voice.' Buttersix, played by host Melissa McCarthy, is being fawned over by Adam Levine (Bill Hader), Usher (Jay Pharoah), Shakira (Kate McKinnon) and Blake Shelton (Jason Sudeikis) after a hilarious performance of 'Don't Mess With My Toot Toot.'

'Tonight Show' Future: Seth Meyers To Take Over 'Late Night' For Jimmy Fallon?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 15:45:21 +0000

Far-flung a future as it might seem to imagine Jimmy Fallon at the helm of 'The Tonight Show' in New York by the year 2014, it's even stranger to consider the next generation of late-night wars being set up. If indeed Jimmy Fallon leaves behind NBC's 'Late Night' for 'The Tonight Show' at any point in the future, who might replace him in the subsequent slot? Is 'SNL' veteran and current head writer Seth Meyers on the short list?

'SNL' Returns Melissa McCarthy as Host April 6

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 00:30:50 +0000

With plenty of buzz from this weekend's upcoming Justin Timberlake-hosted installment of 'SNL, the long-running sketch comedy series seems to have gotten the message to stick with its strongest players. Following the success of 'Identity Thief,' Melissa McCarthy will return to the 'SNL' stage for the second time in two years, hosting the April 6 installment, but who will join the 'Mike & Molly' star as musical guest?

'SNL' Preview: Justin Timberlake Forgot His "Suit & Tie"

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 16:20:44 +0000

While most would agree that this past weekend's 'SNL' host Kevin Hart did an admirable job picking up where 'Django Unchained' star Christoph Waltz left off, this weekend 'SNL' really pulls out the big guns tapping five-time guest Justin Timberlake as both host and musical guest. Expectations are sure to run high for the hour, so how does an old pro like JT fair in the promos for this weekend? Get a sneak peek of Justin Timberlake without his "Suit & Tie" inside!

'SNL' Taps Justin Timberlake as Host and Musical Guest March 9

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 18:41:15 +0000

Admittedly we'd been hazing 'SNL' of late for its emphasis on musical stars to host, namely Bruno Mars, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, and most recently the two-sided flop of Justin Bieber. Now, the original two-sided Justin has returned, as the long-running NBC sketch comedy series has tapped favored guest Justin Timberlake to both host and perform on March 9! Get the latest on Justin Timberlake's big 'SNL' return inside!

'SNL' Tackles the Stranded Carnival Cruise

Kyle Dowling — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 17:09:38 +0000

One of the most talked about topics this past week was the stranded Carnival cruise ship that found itself simply floating along in the ocean without power, sanity, and toilets. Naturally, the story eventually found itself on the floor of studio 8H in Rockefeller Plaza -- home of 'Saturday Night Live.'

'Saturday Night Live' Review: "Justin Bieber"

Britt Hayes — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 18:16:26 +0000

After Adam Levine’s terrible performance as host a couple of weeks ago, can Justin Bieber turn things around and make us all “Beliebers” on this week’s ‘SNL‘? (Sorry, we’ll never use that word again.) Superbowl Blackout Kenan Thompson, Jay Pharaoh, Jason Sudeikis and Tim Robinson are the commentators during the Superbowl blackout, and Taran Killam [...]

SNL: Justin Bieber on the Miley Cyrus Show

Jacob Hall — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 16:58:27 +0000

If there's one thing that we learned from last night's Saturday Night Live, it's that Justin Bieber can't act. Like, at all. However, he can self-deprecate with the best of them, which is sometimes all you need to squeak by with hosting duties. Yesterday's episode also saw the return of The Miley Cyrus Show and Bieber got the play the head of her fan club...who really hates Justin Bieber. Watch it below!

Justin Bieber Pokes Fun at Pot Smoking, Beliebers and Himself on 'Saturday Night Live'

Amy Sciarretto — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 13:59:48 +0000

Justin Bieber hosted 'Saturday Night Live' last night (Feb. 9), in addition to serving as the musical guest. He said it best in the last sentence of his monologue: "We got a great show tonight -- I'm here." Amen to that. The best skit of the night was 'The Miley Cyrus Show' where he pretty much played a Belieber, only Cyrus was the object of his fandom. He also addressed the pot smoking incident, in which he sorta acknowledged that he did what we think he did.

Justin Bieber + Jason Sudeikis Suffer From Bieber Fever in New 'SNL Promos'

Amy Sciarretto — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 04:06:01 +0000

Justin Bieber will commandeer 'Saturday Night Live' this weekend, as both host and musical guest, so another batch of promos has been released. This time, he pairs up with the always hilarious Jason Sudeikis, who is afflicted with Bieber Fever. They both are, actually, and they doubt there is a cure.
