A few years ago I saw David Byrne and St. Vincent in concert and it was a.) a blessed dream and b.) probably the closest I will ever get to see the Talking Heads live. But! Fred Armisen, Maya Rudolph, and Bill Hader have united to form Test Pattern, a parodic homage to the Heads, and they are kick ass.
I didn’t wake up this morning knowing that I was about to stumble on the biggest pop culture conspiracy of our time, but—as the old saying goes—some were born great, some have greatness thrust upon them, and others (Harry Styles, specifically) are actually Bill Hader in a wig.
During an appearance on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live on Tuesday, Trainwreck stars Amy Schumer and Bill Hader, along with director Judd Apatow, reenacted a ridiculous vacation fight from this season of Real Housewives of New York.
A comedic godsend, at least in the eyes of those who worship her, Amy Schumer is a current cultural beacon, and in many ways, a void-filler. So it’s fitting that her first major film is a rom-com. The hardest-to-reinvent Romantic Comedy—two words that instantly yield lowered expectations—seems at once in need of…
Get excited: Here's a brand new trailer for Inside Out, the Pixar movie coming in June. Featuring Amy Poehler, Bill Hader and Mindy Kaling, it's set inside the mind of an 11-year-old girl as she makes the rocky transition to tweenhood. Can't bawl my eyes out in the middle of a movie theater full of children, just like …
Bill Hader returned to his old stomping grounds last night as host of Saturday Night Live. They should seriously consider only featuring ex-cast members as hosts because last night's episode was refreshingly on point. Also Bill Hader is just the best.
In general, I'm pretty sure a good rule of thumb for journalists (not that I would know) is to be prepared. This is especially important for interviews, as a local TV news correspondent in Denver discovered the hard way, while interviewing Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader.
Whenever you pair Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader up on screen, something good is going to happen. It was true for Saturday Night Live where they brought a fun and sparkly energy to even their weakest bits, it was true in Adventureland where they played the husband/wife owners of an amusement park, and — if the pattern…
Probably the most theme-appropriate news of the extended Labor Day weekend is that Seth Meyers, former (sniff) Weekend Update desk jockey and future host of NBC's Late Night, married his longtime girlfriend, human rights lawyer Alexi Ashe, in an "intimate ceremony" on Martha's Vineyard. It doesn't get much more Labor…
In a move worthy of Charlie Kaufman, Doug Hutchison's newly non-child bride Courtney Stodden took a break from living in a sex tape just long enough to actually film a sex tape. Meta! It is a solo tape, filmed shortly after her 18th birthday, and, SORRY, it is totally private until she decides to sell it for more…
That sound you're hearing right now isn't attempted suppressed laughter, but the tears of a thousand people who have just found out that they'll no longer know what New York's hottest club is because Saturday Night Live's City Correspondant Stefon is moving on.
Dove Chocolate advertising masterminds Fred Armisen and Bill Hader want to know: are you more likely to tamp some Dove chocolates down your food pipe if a serene white lady is telling you to do it? Or would you rather have Kevin Hart shout chocolate endorsements at you while you watch molten chocolate being drizzled…
Stefon graced the Weekend Update desk to reveal all of his favorite Halloween haunts, including more onomatopoetic clubs and the Radioshack dumpster he currently calls home. He also tells the story of how the Ghostbuster character Slimer became famous for his, um, hot dog eating prowess, or at least tries really hard…
Watching last night's SNL was like eating plain yogurt in that it was somehow satisfying even though all you could taste was your own breath. Strangely, with so many opportunities for jokes about Josh Brolin's alcoholism, the episode was pretty tame. A "Laser Cats" sketch directed by Steven Spielberg has gotten some…
Starring alongside Mindy in the pilot will be sillyfunny Ed Helms, creepyfunny Bill Hader and distinguishedfunny Richard Schiff — as the love interest, the ex-boyfriend, and the mentor/colleague, respectively. Mindy plays "a Bridget-Jones type OB/GYN trying to navigate her personal and professional life," and if you…
Even though Tom Hanks was on hand to lend a little legitimacy to the sketch comedy proceedings last night, Jonah Hill's second go-round hosting Saturday Night Live was mostly unfunny. I say mostly, of course, because Stefon dropped by the Weekend Update desk to tell everyone about the most off-putting New York clubs,…
Saturday Night Live returns this weekend with Alec Baldwin as host (!!!) and musical guest Radiohead. Here's the first batch of promos of the season, which include talk of Trapper Keepers, Baldwin's censored Emmy joke, and how, no matter what, the world will always revolve around Alec Baldwin.
In the January 29 episode of Saturday Night Live, NBC broadcast a dangerous and blatantly anti-tansgender segment which they called 'Estro-Maxxx' - the punch line of which was the lives of countless transgender people across the country.
Despite Scarlett Johansson's surprisingly likable turn as host of this week's show, all of the accents, accents, accents in the world couldn't save it from being a fairly forgettable episode.
Don't forget: Sigourney Weaver will be hosting tonight's Saturday Night Live, alongside musical guest The Ting Tings, so naturally we'll be having our SNL live thread. After the jump, a clip to get you psyched up for tonight's show.
