From SNL’s dress rehearsal: Lady Gaga in “Female Sea Captains”

From SNL’s dress rehearsal: Lady Gaga in “Female Sea Captains”

Posted by | Nov 17, 2013 | |

Here’s a sketch that didn’t make the cut after dress rehearsal to air live on Saturday Night Live this past weekend. Lady Gaga takes the helm quite literally in “Female Sea Captains,” a sketch set “centuries ago” in Portsbridge, Conn., in a little-known era when all the male sailors fell ill to scurvy. “Or herpes.” And all the ladies replaced them as sailors.

Robin Williams tells Jimmy Kimmel why he still performs improv

When Robin Williams visited Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday night, Kimmel was impressed not only just to have Williams on as a guest — it made him feel like he’s actually hosting a TV talk show — but also because he’d heard that Williams performed improvisational comedy with “the kids” down the street over the weekend. Williams has made a habit over the years of dropping in at improv theaters around the country, from New York to Chicago to San Francisco and Hollywood. So he was more than happy to talk about it. As he was overjoyed just to...
