Is there a recurring SNL sketch more divisive than "The Californians"? For everyone who loves it, there is someone else who thinks it's one of the worst things to ever happen to the show. The latest edition won't change any minds, but the return of Kristen Wiig does make it a little more special than the past couple of times they've trotted it out.

Although SNL is known for frequently pushing the boundaries of good taste, it tends to favor comedy of the sexual and political nature above anything else.

Since it's produced so quickly, SNL will never not take advantage of any holiday that arrives near its air date. That meant that last night's episode saw a handful of mom-themed sketches in honor of Mother's Day! The first of them was a great fake commercial for a flower delivery service starring the terrific Kristen Wiig. Check it out below.

The great Kristen Wiig returned to host SNL this week, giving the show an opportunity to resurrect all of the characters that vanished from show since her departure a year ago.

Kristen Wiig Packs a Pistol on 'Portlandia'

Dan Seitz — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:22:00 +0000

Sometimes, you just shouldn’t push a Bridesmaid too far. Especially if there’s a Siamese cat involved, as we see in this clip from IFC’s “Portlandia” (warning: mild salty language ahead). See, that’s the problem with having your cat as a part of the band: he’s so cute that everyone just wants to abduct him in [...]

Lana Del Rey thought she performed two songs from her new album back when she was the musical guest on ‘Saturday Night Live.’ According to her fans, however, it sounded instead like she “clubbed a baby seal while singing the Taliban national anthem” (totally not our words). But guess what? Del Rey (as impersonated by Kristen Wiig on ‘Weekend Update’) knows this and she’s sorry.
