It's a sad day for funny women that are also smart and beautiful. Saturday Night Live a.k.a. The Lorne Michaels Show has fired Michaela Watkins on the grounds she needs her own show.
Yes, you read what you read. That was the explanation he gave Micheala when she asked why.
He went on to imply she was better off on a sitcom. Let's hope she lands on her feet. Like on a sitcom opposite of SNL. OK... no shows run at that time, but wouldn't that be sweet satisfaction?
Saturday Night Live's Bill Hader and his wife Maggie Carey are expecting their first child. Hader proudly showed off his wife's growing baby bump at Gen Art's New York Premiere of Paper Heart on Wednesday night.
"I'm really excited. It's going to be awesome," Hader told People. He said that his wife has been doing great throughout the pregnancy. "She's awesome. Way tougher than I am," he said.
They do not know the sex of the baby, but they are both very confident about parenting. "Bill's going to be a really cute dad," Carey said.
The couple married in 2006 and their baby is due at the end of September.
This was a big weekend for Seth Rogen with Monsters vrs Aliens (he voices Bob the blob), Observe and Report is next and he appeared on SNL. He slimmed down too, must be for his Green Arrow movie.
Speaking of SNL, What was better his monologue (the running joke was Seth losing weight) or The Fast and Bi-Curious? You'll need a bag to breath in, this stuff was funny!
Talk about an over the top sketch. Alec Baldwin really let his inhibitions go on this sketch. And really, haven't we all been wondering when the Wii would come out with a game about this?
We'll admit, we got a little chuckle out of a skit that the Jonas Brothers and Alec Baldwin starred in together during last night's Saturday Night Live. The Jonas Brothers acted in about 3 skits but we found this one online of Baldwin acting as the 4th Jonas Brother, see what goes down:
What are your thoughts? Can the Jonas Brothers act? Alec Baldwin may have a mean streak in him, but we think he's a pretty funny guy!
In what I call a gutsy (and still funny) move by Saturday Night Live (SNL), to remind everyone in America to 'get a sense of humor', the show went after New York's blind governor Paterson again.
That's right, again. You may recall the show took a lot of heat for mocking the Governor last month and making a parody out of his current tenure in office. More specifically they made jokes over him being blind. A lot of jokes. From him wandering through the set to holding a chart upside down and looking in the wrong direction because he is blind. (See Original December/2009 Controversial Video Below):
But SNL also made a lot of fun of every aspect of his life. They created a caricaturization of his resentment for New Jersey which is now a running joke. Frankly it's hilarious.
Now we have a Governor of a State that should be pretty thick skinned since he is in POLITICS in the first place. I mean come on... if ever the expression "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" applied to anyone, it would be a politician. You don't get in that business if you can't take the heat. But hey, The Governor's office did have some affect on how SNL portrayed in this latest sketch though. They minimized sight gags on him being blind this time around, but they are still there. The focus on most of the jokes were of Paterson being a hard nosed New Yorker with an opinion on everything.
In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Tina Fey and her husband shared some pretty intimate details. Everyone has a scar or mark on their body with an interesting (or maybe, not-so-interesting) story behind it.
Fey opened up for the first time about the mysterious scar on her left cheek. It was the result of an attack by a stranger when she was only five years old. Tina says, "I'm kinda able to forget about it. Until I was on camera, and it became a thing of, 'Oh, I guess we should use this side.'"
Husband and composer Jeff Richmond was fascinated by the scar when he first met his future wife, he says, "This is somebody who, no matter what it was, has gone through something. And I think it really informs the way she thinks about her life. When you have that kind of thing happen to you, that makes you scared of certain things, that makes you frightened of different things, your comedy comes out in a different kind of way, and it also makes you feel for people."
Former head writer and Weekend Update co-anchor Tina Fey will host 'Saturday Night Live' on February 23. The episode marks the return of the NBC show following the writers' strike; it was the only late-night show completely on hiatus due to the negotiations.
"It's been a long dry spell without 'Saturday Night Live' on the air," said Rick Ludwin, head of late-night entertainment at NBC. "They've been sitting on the sidelines watching all this happening in politics and the primaries. 'SNL' thrives during an election year and they can't wait to get back on."
No musical acts have been announced as guests on the show.
