Everyone has a favorite, or should have a favorite, Maya Rudolph moment. Is it her pooping on the street in Bridesmaids? Her Donatella Versace impression? Her recent, insanely funny appearance as a philosophical burrito-eating Judge on The Good Place?
Remember when Ashlee Simpson performed on Saturday Night Live in 2004 and the backing track of the song she had performed earlier in the night came on and she stopped in her tracks and did a little jig before SNL cut to commercial? She does! She’s spoken about the 14-year-old snafu several times in the lead-up to her…
Ivanka Trump was reportedly very, very mad about the Saturday Night Live skit that made her the face of a glamorous new perfume called “Complicit.” Aw, it’s hard being complicit.
Tina Fey, Aidy Bryant, and Kate McKinnon have tapped into your subconscious and know that you already think they’re your real-life best friends.

Blogging often feels like emotional abuse masked as news, but every once in a while, the benevolent gods at Vulture send me to you with a golden scroll, and HERE IT IS: CARDI B IS HAVING A CARDI BABY!!!! I was supposed to be writing you a Dirt Bag gossip round-up right now, but I’m not tainting this.
“Problematic!!!” disclaimer here (I know, it’s tired): but it’s still saddening to see people in poverty and/or with a very common stigmatized incurable virus lumped in with sexual predators. Last night’s SNL’s well-intended “Grabbies” skit, an Oscars for Hollywood’s rapists and harassers, was tinged as per usual with…
If you’ve been having... or trying to have... or working up the nerve to have difficult talks about the news cycle around sexual assault, then perhaps you’ll relate to this Saturday Night Live sketch from Saturday’s episode.
Sometimes I try to watch SNL through the lens of a cynical young tastemaker, pantomiming disgust at a show whose glory days are long behind it. Occasionally I succeed, but more often I guffaw along at the sketches like the gym short-wearing, couch-bound middle-aged father that I secretly am. Last night, the enduringly…
In a statement released Tuesday morning, 36 former women staffers of SNL “stood up” for Sen. Al Franken, who worked on and off for the show from its premiere in 1975 to 1995. “What Al did was stupid and foolish, and we think it was appropriate for him to apologize to Ms. Tweeden, and to the public,” the statement…
We all wish Barack Obama would come back to us for just one more day, an hour, a minute, a SECOND. Over the weekend, Saturday Night Live captured our depression in musical form, with a Boyz II Men sendup dedicated to the former president.
Tiffany Haddish, the break-out star of summer box office hit Girls Trip, is far along in negotiating one film, and officially attached to another, Variety reported on Tuesday.

If you are an on-the-go urban millennial who demands premium content across various platforms in order to be engaged, especially platforms which make premium content disappear when it ceases to engage you, then great news: Snapchat has signed a $100 million deal with Time Warner to produce shows in three to…
Tonight’s episode of Saturday Night Live marks the finale of its 42nd season, as well as Vanessa Bayer’s last appearance as a cast member on the show.
In November, during the first post-election SNL, Dave Chappelle devoted much of his 11-minute monologue to Donald Trump. He joked about the the then-president-elect, calling him an “internet troll” at one point, but concluded on a serious note: “I’m wishing Donald Trump luck, and I’m gonna give him a chance, and we,…
Saturday Night Live was at its best this week with a cold open featuring newly engaged love bugs and Morning Joe cohosts Mika Brzezinski (Kate McKinnon) and Joe Scarborough (Alex Moffat).
Harry Styles was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live this weekend and, in debuting his new solo material, excelled on the notoriously difficult (both acoustically and logistically) SNL stage. He also looked very hot while doing it—which may have been a surprise to my coworkers, but could NEVER be a surprise to me.
