NBC has been surprisingly quiet about ‘SNL’'s impending 40th anniversary special, but VH1 has upped the nostalgia ante in a major way. VH1 Classic will begin a 19-day marathon of ‘SNL’'s 40 years on January 28, working backwards through 433 episodes and staging themed mini-marathons along the way.

Amy Adams has been slated as hot for Saturday Night Live this week, and she's landed pretty popular musical guest, One Direction. Yes, One D will be on SNL Saturday - it's time to set the DVR.

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.’

When Woody Harrelson was revealed to be hosting ‘SNL’ just a few days before the new ‘Hunger Games’ movie was set to open in theaters, it was obvious that the massively popular franchise would, somehow, figure into at least one sketch. Surprisingly, that ended up being the opening monologue, which featured Harrelson performing his own version of Taylor Swift's ‘1989.’ With a little help from some friends.

Just this past weekend 'SNL' announced that 'The Hunger Games' star Woody Harrelson would return to the stage on November 15, and so too do we know what A-lister will also make a return appearance the following week. 'Annie' star Cameron Diaz will make her own fourth appearance hosting on November 22, but what pair of musical guests can we expect to join her?

As if we hadn't seen 'The Hunger Games' or 'True Detective' mocked enough, 'SNL' will take an official turn with one of the major stars. Woody Harrelson has been reaped from the existing pool of victors to host 'SNL' a third time later on in November, with fellow repeat star and musical guest Kendrick Lamar.

33 years after he first made his 'Saturday Night Live' debut in 1981, Prince returned to the live comedy variety show on Nov. 1 to perform an eight-minute medley comprising of three new songs: 'Clouds,' 'Marz' and 'Anotherlove.'

Yeah it is a little strange that a newly minted Oscar winner like Matthew McConaughey would be caught dead making television commercials for Lincoln cars. However, it did lead to a series of fake 'SNL' commercials featuring guest host Jim Carrey playing the 'Dallas Buyers Club' and 'True Detective' star, so who are we to complain?

Iggy Azalea made her 'Saturday Night Live' debut last night where she first performed a medley of 'Fancy' and 'Black Widow,' and then later made her national TV debut of her new single, 'Beg for It.'

Jim Carrey has a dance off with Kate McKinnon and Iggy Azalea to Sia's 'Chandelier' in last night's Halloween-themed 'Saturday Night Live' episode.

You don't have to be a sports fan to know that the NFL has come under fire in recent weeks for how it has handled (or failed to handle) its players committing all kinds of heinous crimes. Although this is a very serious matter that has football fans deeply troubled and concerned about the future of their favorite sport, it's certainly not above satire, which is where 'SNL' comes in.

Chris Pratt's star has risen with his hilarious turn as 'Star Lord' in Guardian's of the Galaxy and Saturday he's set to host the 10th premiere of SNL, but has he always been so funny?
