Sometimes it feels as if Saturday Night Live‘s dirty little secrets aren’t secret any longer. If they ever were. And I’m not talking about the infamous cocaine-fueled writing sessions of the original cast and staff of the late 1970s, either. No. The dirtier secret of SNL is that 39 seasons …
Kate McKinnon is the star of Saturday Night Live. Anna Kendrick has superstar talent. Tell me something I don’t know! Because now you know. Well, here’s something. A guy I work with at another thing got closer to Kendrick on TV and in life than I ever have, and that …
The beauty of Saturday Night Live remains right there in its title. No matter how much funnier and slicker the pre-taped sketch videos for SNL may be in any given week, and there have been more of them in the past year, too — the things that can happen or …
Saturday Night Live just released an extended blooper reel of sorts, as it shows the extended takes of Bobby Moynihan’s scenes in the 12 Years A Slave audition sketch video. Worth it just for the priceless laughing and smiling fits it brings on in Vanessa Bayer as one of the …

Third-time Saturday Night Live host Jonah Hill also celebrates becoming a second-time Academy Award nominee, so how much goodness would that manifest on this particular Saturday night? Wait. Hold that thought. In fact, hold all of your thoughts. Don’t think. It’ll be better this way. There’s still hope for you …
From the official NBC policy, regarding stand-by tickets for fans who want to attend the very live broadcast of Saturday Night Live: Stand-by tickets are distributed at 7am on the 49th st. side of 30 Rockefeller Plaza on the mornings of the show. You may choose a stand-by ticket for …
New cast, new host, great show and that’s far from the most I can say about how easy it is and was to ensure that Saturday Night Live got off to a good start for 2014. How did they not think of this before? Am I talking about making Drake a …
