Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Andy Samberg Sing About '3-Way' Love

Posted May 22nd 2011 at 09:14 AM by Christine Fenno

Justin Timberlake gave a strong performance hosting the 'Saturday Night Live' season finale this weekend, especially when he reunited with Andy Samberg for a new spoof music video. Featuring cameos by Susan Sarandon and Patricia Clarkson (from the 2009 Timberlake-Samberg duet 'Motherlover'), the new track is the best buddies' funky-fresh ode to the joys of getting freaky in a ménage ...

'SNL' Salutes Helen Mirren's Magical Bosom

Posted Apr 10th 2011 at 11:21 AM by Christine Fenno

Dame Helen Mirren hosted 'Saturday Night Live' this weekend, with the Foo Fighters as musical guest. And in case you missed the episode, it featured a wacky digital short celebrating the 65-year-old Oscar winner's regal rack. Andy Samberg serves as a serenely flaky guide to the ethereal wonders experienced when one is lucky enough to feel up the 'Arthur' star. Mirren, for her part, is an ...

On 'SNL,' Nicki Minaj Is Crazy About 'The Creep'

Posted Jan 30th 2011 at 02:33 PM by Christine Fenno

What are the odds that three awkward dweebs with nerdy suits, greasy hygiene, and perverse social skills could get you out on the dance floor? With the right featured guest rapping on their hot new track, those odds actually go way up. As the musical artist dropping by 'Saturday Night Live' this week, Nicki Minaj worked overtime on the episode, joining the creeps of 'The Creep' -- a.k.a. The ...

Pee-wee Herman, Andy Samberg, Anderson Cooper: How Wasted Can They Get?

Posted Jan 16th 2011 at 10:00 AM by Christine Fenno

In the latest 'Saturday Night Live' digital short, seen on last night's episode, binge-drinking Andy Samberg is a good, old-fashioned bad influence...on Pee-wee Herman! After the two down shots in a rowdy bar, Samberg leads Pee-wee (Paul Reubens) into a full-fledged bender of furniture-breaking debauchery even the cops can't stop. Friends try to stage an intervention, but the new BFFs fail to ...

On 'SNL,' Diddy Likes DeNiro in Drag

Posted Dec 5th 2010 at 02:19 PM by Christine Fenno

Andy Samberg, as stuck-in-the-'90s rhymer Blizzard Man, is an incredibly bad rapper -- and not bad meaning good, but criminally bad. Sample lyric? "We wear novelty chains of enormous size!" A music superstar who doesn't seem to notice is Diddy, who popped up in a sketch on last night's 'Saturday Night Live,' somehow believing Blizz is just the hitmaker to rescue his latest album in the works. ...

Rihanna Rocks 'Ronnie & Clyde' Comedy Clip on 'SNL'

Posted Oct 31st 2010 at 12:42 PM by Christine Fenno

Until they were gunned down by police, outlaws Bonnie and Clyde (Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow) were notoriously successful bank robbers during the Great Depression of the 1930's. But Ronnie and Clyde? They're just a mess. On last night's 'Saturday Night Live,' returning musical guest Rihanna reteamed with Andy Samberg for a new digital short about the bad-ass female gangster Clyde and her ...

Jane Lynch: Even Funnier Paired with Andy Samberg

Posted Oct 10th 2010 at 09:12 AM by Christine Fenno

Jane Lynch hosted 'Saturday Night Live' this week, and in last night's episode, the 'Glee' star hit a series of high notes in sketches with Andy Samberg. The 50-year-old host kicked off with a strong monologue (let's nevermind that bizarre off-one-shoulder coat), during which she and Fred Armisen sang with gusto about Sue Sylvester -- an admittedly "terrible!" ditty she nevertheless hoped would ...

Pop-Ed: Who's In and Who's Out at 'Saturday Night Live'?

Posted Sep 2nd 2010 at 04:30 PM by Mike Ryan

The past week saw some major shakeups at 'Saturday Night Live.' Will Forte, a cast member since 2002, chose to leave. Taran Killam, Paul Brittain and Venessa Bayer (and maybe Jay Pharoah) are in as -- we assume -- featured players. Yes, it's entirely possible that there are no more changes before the 36th season premiere. But 'SNL' history will tell you that's not likely. 'SNL' certainly ...

Predicting the Next Adam Sandler

Posted Feb 1st 2010 at 03:00 PM by Kipp Tribble

Like most of the nation, we watched the unfortunate demise of Conan O'Brien's version of 'The Tonight Show.' The star-powered final week included appearances by Will Ferrell, Tom Hanks, and Adam Sandler. Mr. 'Happy Gilmore' and Conan enjoyed a trip down memory lane about their times working together on a little show called 'SNL' where Sandler was a cast member and O'Brien was a writer. Sandler, of ...

Posted Feb 1st 2010 at 11:29 AM by Amber James

Between all the amazing performances, tributes and awards, celebrities took time to have fun with their famous friends (and idols) at the 2010 Grammy Awards. Uploading backstage photos to Twitter, stars shared the fun stuff we didn't see on TV. At right, Weird Al Yankovic made sure to capture his wife's "blinging" sparkles next to 'American Idol' runner-up, Adam Lambert. "Oh, snap! My wife just ...
