Like him or not, Guy Fieri is kind of a big deal. His career jump-started by winning the inaugural 'The Next Food Network Star,' Fieri's energetic-yet-relatable style has made him one of the network's most popular -- and bankable. In addition to his three TV shows ('Diners Drive-ins and Dives' is the channel's current #1), this month Fieri embarks on a 21-city tour, dubbed "The Guy Fieri Roadshow" and is celebrating the release of his second book, 'More Diners, Drive-ins and Dives: A Drop-Top Culinary Cruise Through America's Finest and Funkiest Joints.' PopEater spoke with the excitable, no-holds-barred chef recently about the inspiration behind his Rock and Roll culinary tour, why a salad "is not sexy," and how he wants nothing more in life than to be on "Saturday Night Live' ... even though they've lampooned him him twice. Oh, and because 'tis the season, how to do Thanksgiving: Guy Fieri style. Check It Out After the Jump!

Taylor Swift is the host and musical guest this weekend on 'Saturday Night Live,' and promos for the show are already taking shots at Kanye West -- who interrupted the country cutie's MTV VMA win.

"Hey, I'm Taylor Swift and I'll be the host and musical guest this week on 'SNL,'" Swift explains.

"Whoop, Kanye West just called, he thinks Beyonce should host," Bill Hader quips. "Funny joke, right? VMAs!" Watch After the Jump

Tracy Morgan just wrote his first book, 'I Am the New Black.' And the star of upcoming films 'Death at a Funeral' and 'A Couple of Dicks,' stopped by to talk about that accomplishment.

In part two of our interview (Catch Part One Here), the funnyman shares with us who would be his dream guest star on '30 Rock,' what he thinks about 'Saturday Night Live,' and how excited he is to perform stand up at Carnegie Hall. Watch It

'Saturday Night Live' funnyman Fred Armisen, 42, and 'Mad Men' star Elisabeth Moss, 27, have tied the knot, Usmagazine.com reports.

The ceremony -- "attended by family and friends" -- took place in Long Island City, New York, the actress' rep confirms.

'30 Rock' star Tracy Morgan released his autobiography entitled 'I Am the New Black,' which details his life growing up in the projects, his struggles with drug abuse, his father's death and his relationship with his mother, among many other personal revelations.

The actor sat down to talk to PopEater about why he wrote the book, the challenges he faced and what he really thinks of former 'Saturday Night Live' cast members Cheri Oteri and Chris Kattan, whom he wrote negatively about."If I saw Cheri and Chris I would love them. If they would, I would hug them," he told us. Watch It

Jonah Hill will co-write, produce, and do voice-over work for a new animated Fox show, Variety reports. The cartoon follows a 7-year-old socialite who speaks and acts like an adult, forced to attend public school.

Does this remind anyone else of Adam Grossman, the smooth-talking 6-year-old played by Hill on 'Saturday Night Live'? Watch him dine at Benihana and order a "Chivas on the rocks" below.

For decades, 'Saturday Night Live' was the place where stars went to show off their funny sides and allow fans and viewers to see them in a different light. So it should come as no surprise that NBC's flagship comedy 30 Rock' - which was created by 'SNL' alumni and revolves around an 'SNL'-style variety show - has taken over the mantle of the hot place to find your offbeat celebrity cameos.

Over the show's first three seasons, everyone from Carrie Fisher to Steve Martin to Pee-wee Herman has come on the show, some for a just a quick cameo and others for longer stints as guest stars. To celebrate the premiere of the show's fourth season, we thought it was a good time to look back and take stock of some of the best '30 Rock' celebrity cameos so far.

Taylor Swift is set to host 'Saturday Night Live' next month, and it's almost guaranteed her infamous run-in with Kanye West will be spoofed at some point. "There are definitely some hilarious things that have happened to me over the past couple of months that I think will be pretty substantial skits," says Swift.

It's a girl for 'Saturday Night Live' comedian Bill Hader. His wife Maggie Carey delivered their first child, Hannah Kathryn Hader, on Oct. 6, PEOPLE reports. The couple, who married in 2006, announced the pregnancy in August. At the time, Hader said, "I'm really excited [about parenthood]. I think it's going to be awesome."

Here at Popeater, being addicted to television is a part of our job, consuming all the new fall shows and the gossip that comes with it on a daily basis. We realize that the rest of you might not be, uh, so diligent (aka you have lives), so we're here to get you up to speed on the biggest TV moment from each day of the past week.

Not only does Lorne Michaels have no interest in firing Jenny Slate, the 'SNL' executive producer actually feels bad for the rookie, who uttered the F-Bomb on the air.

In comments to the Washington Post, Michaels said the night was traumatic for Slate because "it was literally her first time on the show. There was nothing dirty, just a slip of the tongue. It was 'frickin', frickin', frickin' ' and then boom! The pain that Jenny is going through is, I'm sure, considerably worse than that experienced by anybody who saw it."

Megan Fox's SNL appearance on the season kickoff proved that if there's one person who's an authority on new, hot starlets, it has to be... Lorne Michaels. Even though the legendary 'Saturday Night Live' producer looks like your benevolent uncle, he has quite the eye for the young ladies. Here's a look at Megan Fox's SNL monologue and some of the other hot actresses that Lorne tapped to host at the height of their sexiness.

If there was one thing that would be certain for the season premiere of 'Saturday Night Live,' it's that resident 'Digital Short' auteur Andy Samberg would have some sort of ridiculously funny video planned. While the Megan Fox-starring 'The Date' and 'Megan's Roommate' were kinda funny (watch 'Date' here and 'Roommate' here), we don't think they lived up to Samberg's past greatness (and really didn't need to be a 'Digital Short'). Now that his first crack at funny is out of the way this year, we figured it was time to put together the all-time most riotous 'Digital Shorts' that Andy's sick brain has ever concocted. Watch them all after the jump!

'Lazy Sunday'

This was the original 'Chronicles of Narnia'-themed Digital Short that set 'SNL' and the viral video world on fire. Lorne Michaels quickly learned that posting the videos Hulu was a way to cash in on them, rather than everyone watching on YouTube.

An SNL F-bomb in the 'Saturday Night Live' season premiere? Sounds that way.

Most new cast members on 'Saturday Night Live' begin their tenure on the show with a whimper. Perhaps a brief cameo as a waiter, an office worker, maybe throw out a wave during the end-of-show "good nights." But not Jenny Slate. During her inaugural 'SNL' episode, the newbie came out with a bang. An F-Bomb bang, that is, in the middle of a sketch about biker chicks. "You stood up for yourself, and I f---ing love you for that."
