SNL Wishes You a Happy Mother's Day With 1-800 Flowers

Jacob Hall — Sun, 12 May 2013 15:13:31 +0000

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.

SNL: Zach Galifianakis Kills With His Opening Monologue

Jacob Hall — Sun, 05 May 2013 15:49:03 +0000

Some SNL hosts just feel like they were born to be on that stage and Zach Galifiankis is one of them. Rather than do a traditional monologue, he performed six minutes of his oddball, avant garde stand-up comedy. It was a great reminder that he may be a big movie star now, but he's still one of the great modern comedians.

SNL Tackles Gun Control Law

Jacob Hall — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 15:36:29 +0000

SNL hasn't been too political in recent months, but last night's cold open saw the show jump right back into current events, taking on all of the recent movement on gun control laws...or lack thereof. In true SNL fashions, both sides of the debate come out looking pretty moronic.

SNL: Lonely Island Returns With "YOLO"

Jacob Hall — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 15:45:52 +0000

When Andy Samberg left SNL, we thought we'd never see another Lonely Island music video on the show again. This is a situation where we're ecstatic to have been wrong! Samberg and his crew (including a few cameos that you're bound to recognize) are back with a new song and new video and it's one of their best.

SNL Previews All 19 'Hobbit' Movies

Jacob Hall — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 16:21:36 +0000

Welcome back, SNL! Everyone's simultaneously beloved and hated live sketch comedy show returned last night after its holiday break and, naturally, they had to play catch-up, making fun of everything that they missed in the past couple of weeks. First on their list? 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.' Or rather, its eighteen sequels.

'SNL' Deleted Scene: Bill Hader and Fred Armisen Crack Up as Russian Doormen

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 04:59:59 +0000

While most would agree that 'SNL's' most recent turn with 'Django Unchained' star Jamie Foxx hosting and musical guest Ne-Yo stayed mostly level, it's no secret that a portion of 'SNL' viewers tune in to see which sketches can make the performers break. "The Californians" has been known to get cast members giggling, partiuclarly Bill Hader and Fred Armisen, but we've never seen them lose it so hard as a deleted sketch from Saturday featuring the pair as doormen. Check it out inside!

Don't Make The Ding Dong Upset! [VIDEO]

Craig Russell — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 19:28:02 +0000

Jamie Foxx has done some pretty impressive work in his days as an entertainer. Academy Award winner, has had a #1 song, been a star on TV, and now add pissed off store cake to the list! Foxx was hilarious on SNL over the weekend as… a Ding Dong who was upset about the recent [...]

Classic SNL Presidental Clip – Dukakis on the Elevator [VIDEO]

Matt Hendricks — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 17:07:10 +0000

Well, after the debate last night, it made me think of this classic clip from 1988 and SNL. SNL polices their stuff pretty tight, but this is still pretty damn funny. We all remember Dukakis, and how short he was. Check out this scene from the 1988 debate on SNL. That’s John Lovitz playing Dukakis… [...]

Sinead O'Connor Makes Kim Kardashian Look Like An Old Married Woman!

Craig Russell — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 16:23:41 +0000

Wow…why are celeb’s so weird? Maybe we normal folk are just as strange, but they just don’t publish our sorrid tales on the front of Yahoo. Sinead O’Connor, that pillar of mental strength, got married about 3 weeks ago, and it’s already over. That was quick! O’Connor married her 4th husband Barry Herridge on her [...]

"The Hoody Vs. The Goodie" [VIDEO]

Craig Russell — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 14:00:28 +0000

That’s how Jim Nantz, CBS football announcer put it at the beginning of the New England/Denver game Sunday. Tom Brady and Tim Tebow. Blah Blah Blah. As a fan of a team who lost to Denver and “Tebow Magic” I hope he gets knocked out the game. Like really knocked out. Of course, the Tebow [...]

Now the rumor is Ben and Jerry’s are going to make an ice cream flavor based on that skit, just in time for Christmas! According to Ana Gasteyer, one of the 3 involved in the skit, Ben and [...]

Time For A New "Best Of Craigslist" Post!

Craig Russell — Wed, 25 May 2011 14:19:11 +0000

I tell everyone that when you use Craigslist, I get a percentage of the sale, sine it’s “my” list. And that’s true. I get exactly 0 percent of the profits of Craigslist sales! And now it’s time for another “Best of Craigslist”. Sometimes the “Best of’s…” are because the person writing the ad is creative, [...]

Craig Russell — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 21:46:41 +0000

As I let you know about earlier, “The Paul Reiser Show” has been cancelled by NBC after 2 showings. Now it seems Paul is a guest on the NBC late night talk show “The Tonight Show.” It stars Jay Leno…perhaps you have heard of him? As my Facebook friend Bob put it best…”Paul will be [...]

Did You Know…

Craig Russell — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 20:47:26 +0000

Bank robberies, at least in central Ohio, increased in 2010. More interesting — 18%, up from 7% the year before, were committed by WOMEN. The increase can be attributed, according to police, to the so-called church lady bandit, who robbed seven banks wearing clothes and a hat that made her look as if she had [...]
