Video: SNL Girlfriend Voice skit
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Prime Time, NBC, Saturday Night Live,
I was just able to catch this past week’s episode of SNL (Season 34, episode 20), and for some reason, this skit had me rolling. If you saw it, it’s the one where three guys are trying to plan a bachelor party, but keep getting interrupted by phone calls. It starts with their girlfriends calling, and each of them talking on the phone using their “girlfriend voice”—that’s right guys, you are not alone on that one. If you haven’t seen it, check it out above. Good times.

Zac Efron to Host Saturday Night Live
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live,
Saturday Night Live will once again be targeting the tweens when it welcomes Zac Efron to the stage later this month.
The High School Musical star will be hitting up late-night program to promote his newest film, 17 Again, which opens on April 17th. His appearance comes just two months after the Jonas Brothers guested with Alec Baldwin. (Taylor Swift also visited back in January.)
No word at this time whether the actor, who recently dropped out of a Footloose remake, will be doing some type of song and dance number. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are officially listed as the musical guests for the April 11th show.

Sunday Ratings: Celebrity Apprentice Pales Against Housewives
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Amazing Race, The, Apprentice, The - Donald, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Saturday Night Live, Ratings,
Looks like the economy isn’t the only thing Donald Trump should be worrying about. Despite a solid debut, The Celebrity Apprentice was served a cold dose of reality this week. When pitted against Sunday night regulars (Desperate Housewives, Cold Case), the reality hit showed signs of weakening. NBC’s performance helped CBS win the viewers while ABC took the demos.
8pm
- The Amazing Race (10.2 million, 3.0/8 in 18-49) lost 600,000 at the pit stop.
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (9.5 million, 2.9/8) slipped by 1.5 million.
- A Saturday Night Live special (2.1/6) and The Simpsons (2.8/8) both pulled in 6 million.
- King of the Hill (4.9 million, 2.4/6) gave up 1.8 million.
- CW’s broadcast of Easy Money (0.2/0) registered 900,000.

Jonas Brothers Staying Up Late for SNL
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live,
Back on January 10th, Saturday Night Live welcomed country sensation Taylor Swift to the late night stage. One month later, her ex-boyfriend will be given the same opportunity.
On February 14th, Joe Jonas - along with his brothers - will be crooning to all the dateless ladies from that NBC studio. The appearance will come less than a week after the trio performs at this Sunday’s Grammys.
Although this this will be the first SNL visit for the Jonas Brothers, the boy banders will be joined by a 30 Rock veteran. Alec Baldwin, the actual star of 30 Rock, will be making his 14th appearance as host. (Only Steve Martin has fronted the show more times. The Pink Panther 2 star made his 15th stop just last Saturday.)

- The City (MTV, 10pm):: Series premiere. “Whitney Port arrives in New York City and begins working for iconic fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg.” And by “working,” we mean she’ll be giving Diane free publicity.

Amy Poehler Officially Says Goodbye to Saturday Night Live
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,
Yesterday evening, Amy Poehler finally made it official: her days with Saturday Night Live are now over.
Although she was not expected to return after the birth of her son in October, Amy surprised audiences last Saturday when she appeared in two sketches. This weekend, she reunited with Maya Rudolph (I thought was gone from SNL too?) for another episode of “Bronx Beat” before joining Seth Meyers on the news desk.
You can Poehler’s emotional goodbye above and her skewering of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich after the jump.

Amy Poehler Makes Surprise Return to SNL
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,
Although she had intended to move on from Saturday Night Live, Amy Poehler delivered an early Christmas present to her fans this weekend.
Poehler, who has been absent from the late-night program since giving birth on October 25, appeared in two segments during yesterday’s broadcast. After reprising her role as Hillary Clinton - who else could possibly play the future Secretary of State? - she reunited with Seth Meyers for another edition of the Weekend Update.
Could Clinton’s new cabinet position mean additional SNL appearances from Amy in the future? Keep your fingers crossed!

SNL Brings On Two New Females
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, News,
Although Saturday Night Live recently lost Amy Poehler to motherhood and Tina Fey (once again) to 30 Rock, the show will soon go back to being unevenly staffed. This weekend, Lorne Michaels will introduce two new women to the NBC program. These casting additions will bring the female portion of the crew up to four. (If you count Seth Meyers, the male half currently stands at nine.)
Starting November 15, Abby Elliott (above left) and Michaela Watkins (above right) will become the latest Not Ready for Prime-Time Players. Elliott - who has performed with the Upright Citizens Brigade (the group co-founded by Poehler) - is also the daughter of a former SNL alum (comedian Chris Elliott). Meanwhile Watkins, who has appeared on several episodes of The New Adventures of Old Christine, comes with several ties of her own. She was once a member of The Groundlings, a comedy troupe that lists Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig amongst its former participants.
Paul Rudd and Beyonce are the featured guests on this Saturday’s show.
