Saturday Night Live’s Sasheer Zamata was recently named an ACLU ambassador and she’s using her new position to “shine a spotlight on gender and privilege,” she wrote on the organization’s blog. And she’s, of course, doing it with some pretty spot-on humor.
Donald Trump has made a name for himself building ugly buildings and saying vile words.

Sanders actually describes his underwear reserves as “ample.”
When Tracy Morgan stepped out a stage to host last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live, he knew viewers would have questions.

On Tuesday, NBC News reported that soggy burlap sack Donald Trump will host Saturday Night Live on November 7 with musical guest Sia.
Amy Schumer finally took her turn as the host of Saturday Night Live and, as typical of the show, it was uneven, but Schumer worked hard to get laughs. The sketches proper were a bit weak, but Schumer’s opening monologue, a fake ad for guns, and the cold open, a Fox and Friends parody that included the Planned…
Hillary Clinton appeared on Saturday Night Live’s season premiere and used the bit to make fun of Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, as well as her own positions on issues like the Keystone Pipeline and marriage equality.

It’s always been unclear whether Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek is at all amused by the long-running Saturday Night Live sketches about his show, the ones that depict him near the point of tears or a dangerous fit of rage when dealing with the dumbest celebrity contestants in the world. Judging by Wednesday night, though,…
Justin Bieber’s sensual Calvin Klein ads were destined to be spoofed, and Kate McKinnon—who was most likely Justin Bieber in another lifetime—was the perfect person to do it. In these outtakes from her original Saturday Night Live skit, McKinnon plays the drums dressed as the boy wonder and saunters around in CK…

Last night’s season finale of Saturday Night Live saw host Louis C.K. deliver a controversial monologue about his “mildly racist” attitudes and your “neighborhood pedophile.” Kate McKinnon rolled out her Hillary Clinton impression and Taran Killam skewered Tom Brady and the ridiculously named “Deflategate.” But the…

Host Reese Witherspoon and the cast of Saturday Night Live opened last night’s show by apologizing to their moms. After admitting to everything from burning the house down, being weird, sneaking out, and “rubbing jeans” with high school boyfriends, the show ran a montage of childhood videos. Aidy Bryant’s awkward…
Saturday Night Live was pretty uninspired last night, some weird attempts to joke about the Baltimore protests and a Ruth Bader Ginsburg sketch that fell flat. The one bright spot was the show’s Black Widow trailer. The superhero finally gets her own movie, but in classic Hollywood fashion, it’s a romantic comedy.
It’s rare for a Saturday Night Live cold open to be the best sketch of the night, but Kate McKinnon playing a maniacal Hillary Clinton paired with Darrell Hammond’s spot-on Bill Clinton, was one of the only laugh-out-loud sketches. That’s probably a good thing, since we’ll undoubtedly be seeing McKinnon’s impression…
Taraji P. Henson is wearing a white fringe jacket ripped straight from Cookie’s closet in this promo spot for Saturday Night Live, which she’s hosting this Saturday. Watch her slap Taran Killam and offer him Cookie-style advice on confronting a fellow castmember. Killam also pitches a show called Umpire. Mumford and…
A week after HBO premiered the Scientology documentary Going Clear, SNL has its response—a music video for “the Church of Neurotology” that perfectly channels the dowdy 20th century insanity of L. Ron & friends. “Religion and science intertwined, aliens live inside of our minds,” sings a beatific Aidy Bryant, eyes…
