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.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,
UPDATE: Gabourey will host the show on April 24.
If you’ve ever watched anything Gabourey Sidibe‘s ever been on (outside of her movie Precious), you know that she is one freakin’ hilarious actress. Thankfully, it didn’t take a Facebook campaign for the producers of Saturday Night Live to recognize this.
It’s just been announced that the Oscar nominee will be hosting the program later this season. Although a date has not yet been announced, it’s believed she will appear sometime in May (after Betty White’s stint on May 8).
You can catch some more of Sidibe’s funniest clips after the jump.

Jon Heder/Will Ferrell Project Won’t Happen
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Cable, Saturday Night Live, Gossip, Video,
The Blades of Glory duo won’t be making us laugh on Comedy Central after all.
Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite, School for Scoundrels) has dropped out of a planned sitcom on the cable network which is being produced by Will Ferrell (just about every other funny movie made since 2002).
Very little info is being offered on the split, only this very ambiguous statement: “Comedy Central, Gary Sanchez Productions and Jon Heder have mutually decided to part ways over creative differences with the character. Jon wishes the show nothing but success, and is very grateful for the opportunity.”

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.

UPDATE: White will be appearing on May 8 with Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch.

“I don’t know why or how,” White said about the fan support, “but it’s been wonderful.”
Although Entertainment Weekly previously reported that she would be involved in a “Women of Comedy”-themed broadcast, the 88-year-old did not elaborate on her upcoming stint.

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