January Jones On “SNL” Teaches Us How A Lady Throws A Party

Jessica WakemanNovember 16, 2009 //


This weekend, January Jones‘ guest-hosting gig on “Saturday Night Live” turned out to be a disappointing failure. Fart jokes? Really? But at least the “Mad Men” princess got a few giggles out of me with a “Ladies’ Guide To Party Planning.” The best part is when she has to go to the bathroom and leaves for the woods with a paper bag.

Hopefully Kanye West Won’t Interrupt Taylor Swift On “SNL” This Weekend

Catherine StrawnNovember 5, 2009 //

My favorite “country” music singer, Taylor Swift, will be hosting and performing on “Saturday Night Live” this weekend, and the promo pays tribute to the Kanye West debacle at the MTV Video Music Awards. Yes, this incident was rather amusing and ridiculous, but I’m gonna be a little annoyed if there are multiple references to it during Saturday’s show. A joke can only be funny so many times. (Oh, and Taylor, please sing “Tell Me Why.” I like that one.) Keep reading »

“J**z In My Pants” = Our New Jam

Amelia McDonell-ParryDecember 7, 2008 //

Last night’s digital short on “Saturday Night Live” was a music video for the song “J**z In My Pants” from Andy Samberg and his “band” The Lonely Island. Molly Sims, Jamie Lynn Sigler and, honorary “SNL” cast member, Justin Timberlake, make appearances too, and it is gross/hilarious/highly groovy. Keep reading »

Tina Fey Tells All

Susannah BreslinDecember 2, 2008 //

Tina Fey is on the cover of the new Vanity Fair. In the magazine, Maureen Dowd’s profile of the Emmy-winning “30 Rock” creator and star — and Sarah Palin impersonator — reveals a lot about the woman behind the comedy — from her opinions on strip clubs to how she got that scar. After the jump, the highlights of everything you ever wanted to know about Tina Fey but were too busy laughing to ask. Keep reading »

Behind The Scenes Of “SNL” With Justin Timberlake

Amelia McDonell-ParryNovember 24, 2008 //

“Saturday Night Live” occasional does these “behind the scenes” interviews with their guests and I just came across this one, from a week ago, when Justin Timberlake made an appearance (well, two) on the Paul Rudd hosted episode. He’s even funny unrehearsed. Oh Justin, why do you insist on being so perfect? Keep reading »

Bush Meets Palin On “Weekend Update Thursday”

Amelia McDonell-ParryOctober 24, 2008 //

On last night’s “Weekend Update Thursday” — “Saturday Night Live”‘s special election coverage — Will Ferrell showed up to do a skit as George W. Bush, with Tina Fey as Sarah Palin. It was gosh darn hysterical and definitely a teaser for the material Ferrell is going to do in his upcoming comedy show, “You’re Welcome America — A Final Night With George W. Bush”, coming to Broadway in February 2009. One quibble about the skit — Tina’s new bangs are all wrong. [Variety] Keep reading »

Five Skits For Sarah Palin On SNL

Amelia McDonell-ParryOctober 14, 2008 //

Rumor has it, Sarah Palin is going to appear on this Saturday’s episode of “Saturday Night Live”, and while everyone seems to think she’ll end up spoofing Tina Fey’s American Express commercial, I’m kinda hoping she’ll poke fun at herself. Were I talented enough to be a head writer at “SNL” and persuasive enough to be Sarah Palin’s press secretary, these are the five skit concepts I would go with for her appearance on the sketch comedy show. Oh hell, just make her the host!

Clips: Tina Fey Stops By SNL To Play Sarah Palin

Amelia McDonell-ParrySeptember 14, 2008 //

Did you catch Tina Fey portraying her long-lost-twin, Sarah Palin, on Saturday Night Live last night? How do you think she did? Personally, I thought her vocal inflections and mannerisms were dead on — I wonder how much it would cost them to have her play the role for at least the rest of the election? Keep reading »

Amy Poehler Won’t Dish On Dirty Talk

Amelia McDonell-ParryApril 21, 2008 //

Majorly adorable Saturday Night Live cast member and Baby Mama star, Amy Poehler, was on The Today Show this morning, and Meredith Viera just could not resist asking Amy if she talks in her sexiest Hillary Clinton voice for hubby Will Arnett. Her surprisingly prudish response, in the clip above. Keep reading »
