saturday night live

To help ring in President’s Day, political commenter and author Bill O’Reilly came on ‘SNL‘ as a guest for What’s Up With That? along with Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Upton. Wondering what insightful comments both of them made?

In light of their 14-month hiatus, Bronx Beat hosts Betty Caruso and Jodi Deitz, played by Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph, brought their sexy “boom” man Lou (Justin Timberlake) and cameraman Tony (Andy Samberg) on their ‘SNL‘ set.

In one of Maya Rudolph‘s acts as the ‘SNL‘ host this weekend, she got all dolled up as the fabulous Beyonce, awaiting the arrival of the celeb guests, like Bon Iver (played by Justin Timberlake), coming to see her new baby. Since Blue Ivy is the miracle child of the music world, it was only fitting for every visitor to bring her a gift. But what do you give the baby who has everything?

Thanks to Zooey Deschanel and ‘Saturday Night Live,’ we now finally have a song worthy to be the theme for Valentine’s Day. Sure there are all those classic ballads from the ’80s and ’90s, but there’s none quite like the one Deschanel performed during her opening monologue on Saturday that truly sums up what the day of love is all about.

Obviously M.I.A. giving the middle finger to everyone watching the Super Bowl was just as horrendous as Janet Jackson’s infamous nip slip. That’s why Zooey Deschanel had to promote her new group called One Finger, A Million Moms on ‘Piers Morgan Tonight’ via ‘Saturday Night Live.’

What would it be like if Cee Lo Green and Matthew McConaughey got freaky on the beach together (and by “freaky” we mean drinking wheat grass and masculine smoothies, of course)? To answer this question, ‘Saturday Night Live‘ had to give Cee Lo his own talk show and dress Channing Tatum up as the laid-back sex symbol.

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.

Ever wonder what those NBC Football guys do to stay relaxed when making their Super Bowl 2012 promos? As Channing Tatum and the ‘Saturday Night Live‘ guys found out, they only take about a few seconds to make, but you have to stay loose in order to get a genuine shot.

All of our letter writing has finally paid off! Channing Tatum will be hosting ‘Saturday Night Live’ this weekend. Omg, like, we’re totally freaking out right now.

Many were shocked and excited to hear that Lana Del Rey — the singer with a tremendous internet following, but no actual album to hock — was the musical guest for ‘Saturday Night Live.’ You know who wasn’t, though? Juliette Lewis and tons of other people on Twitter.

Clearly, the good people behind the Golden Globes just couldn’t get enough of Ricky Gervais‘ antics and mud-slinging comedy since they’ve asked him back for more. ‘Saturday Night Live‘ seems assured of his impending success on Sunday that it’s booked him up solid with similar hosting gigs… well, not really similar.

The former basketball player and outspoken media personality, Charles Barkley, delighted sports fans with a pitch-perfect parody of Shaquille O’Neal on ‘Saturday Night Live.’ Almost as entertaining, though, was when he got a taste of his own medicine.
