Gabourey Sidibe and Andy Samberg: Best SNL Promos Ever?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Commercials, Saturday Night Live, Video,
Okay - full disclosure time.
I. Love. Gabourey. Sidibe. I think the Precious star is the funniest woman to come around in a long time. I want to be her best friend. I think she can do no wrong.
That said, I don’t think I’m biased in saying these new Saturday Night Live promos are the best spots I’ve seen in quite some time…if not ever.
Am I the only one hoping she even tops Tina Fey‘s recent appearance?

VIDEO: Tina Fey Introduces Sarah Palin’s New Network
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,
“You know, ever since I won the silver medal in last year’s vice presidential election, I’ve made it my goal to connect with as many people of this great nation as possible,” Sarah Palin (a.k.a. Tina Fey) said during her appearance on yesterday’s Saturday Night Live. “You know, with my work as a contributor on FOX News and my new TLC reality show Sarah Palin’s Alaska, it just seemed like the next logical step was to launch my own network.”
What kind of programming would be featured on the Sarah Palin Network? My Daughter Only Sprained Her Ankle. You Can’t Seriously Be Considering Euthanizing Her, Tea Party Wheel of Fortune, Are You Smarter Than a Half-Term Governor? and Alaskanence - a show about a single woman who doesn’t believe in sex before marriage, who is struggling to raise her three young children - are just a few of the titles Palin’s new venture would air.

Tina Fey Will Return to SNL to Reprise Palin Role
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Gossip, Video,
SNL alum Tina Fey will return to the series this Saturday (April 10), where she says she will once again impersonate former Alaska governor Sarah Palin.
Since SNL is live, there’s no guarantee that a skit will make it all the way to the broadcast…but chances are pretty good that the series will poke fun at the politician again. With Fey on the line-up, a Palin skit is truly irresistible.

VIDEO: Betty White Talks SNL Gig, Super Bowl Commercial
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Daytime, Late Night, Talk Shows, NBC, Syndication, Commercials, Saturday Night Live, Video,
Betty White may be “scared to death” about her upcoming Saturday Night Live gig, but she didn’t appear that way during yesterday’s Ellen show.
During Monday’s broadcast, White admitted that she had been asked to host SNL three other times before, but she had always turned the producers down because the program is “so New York” and she’s not. So when this whole “silly Facebook thing started” and she was asked again, she was pleasantly surprised.

NBC may have chosen Jay Leno over Conan O’Brien, but the Peacock can still recognize good comedy.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Daytime, Drama, Late Night, Prime Time, Specials, Talk Shows, ABC, Cable, NBC, Syndication, Saturday Night Live, Gossip, News,
-Spike TV has ordered a pilot about a golfer (John Schneider) and his sex-crazed caddy…named Tiger. It’s not known who’ll play John’s buddy in Back Nine.
-Tina Fey’s admits her Saturday Night Live hosting gig this April will likely include a Sarah Palin sketch. At least there’ll be one funny part that night.
-Nadya Suleman will be leaving her babies behind to co-host The View next Wednesday. The noise may send the Octomom running back home.
-Meanwhile, Barbara Walters has decided that her upcoming Oscars special will be her last. Having to keep ten Best Film names straight is more than she can handle.
-Stewart Bailey, a former co-executive producer on the Daily Show, is now in charge of helping Last Call with Carson Daly. It’s a shame to see talent like that wasted.
