Last night Louis CK hosted a brilliant, very Louis CK episode of SNL, full of skits that went on just a tad too long only to be decisively followed up by a perfectly awkward and pedantic punchline. It also gave us a preview for a show that really needs to happen right now, maybe yesterday, about the two best damn…
Louis CK is returning to host Saturday Night Live for the second time this Saturday, which is good news for fans of his and SNL alike. The last time CK was left to helm the cast of studio 8H, it ended up being one of the more funny and strange episodes in recent memory, so here's to hoping that this time will bring…
This video will serve as a glorious beacon of hope for every struggling actor out there who has ever been told "you're never going to make it." And they have Bradley Cooper to thank for it.

“Holy shitsnacks,” is more or less what you’ll say after reading “writer and former lawyer” Betsy Karasik’s opinion piece about the “vast and extremely nuanced continuum of sexual interactions involving teachers and students” that the Washington Post didn’t so much publish as release from the double-locked cellar in a…

Kim and Kanye will be revealing North West on Kris Jenner's talk show in order to save her Mama Rose ass from cancellation. After Ye couldn't convince Anna Wintour to care, they rejected a $4 million offer from an Australian paper and another "well over $10 million" to show the first photo on Kris.
So SNL writers apparently found a great work-around for Louis CK's purportedly awful rehearsals - they simply crafted sketches in which the self-deprecating comedian could do as much stand-up as possible, such as this sketch in which Lincoln is imagined as a show on FX about our sad-clown 16th president, you know, the…
