Giants quarterback Eli Manning took to Saturday Night Live to mock his New York credentials, as well as rival quarterback Tim Tebow and big brother Peyton Manning. Manning acquitted himself admirably, and the sketches, on the whole, were pretty good, though writers did put Manning in drag (that's a go-to for athletes who host). more ›

We haven't seen much of former Saturday Night Live star Horatio Sanz since Lorne Michaels & Co. gave him the axe in 2006. After laying his impressions of Rubeus Hagrid and Saddam Hussein to rest, Sanz dropped about 100 lbs and made some sporadic SNL cameos, returning to reprise his rendition of "I Wish It Was Christmas Today" with Jimmy Fallon, Tracy Morgan and Chris Kattan when Fallon hosted last December. But it looks like Sanz is returning to his sketch comedy roots; he recently teamed up with Upright Citizens Brigade director Todd Bieber in creating a new web series on UCBComedy's YouTube channel. more ›

Josh Brolin, best known to many as Brand from The Goonies, made his second hosting appearance on Saturday Night Live, but he was nearly eclipsed by Australian singer Gotye, who not only sang two songs, but also was the subject of an obsessive second Digital Short. But the first Digital Short was pretty great: Laser Cats, as directed by... Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg. more ›

Sofia Vergara hosted the first new Saturday Night Live in three weeks, amid rumors that three cast members (Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg and Jason Sudeikis) might depart the show. Well, if it means getting rid of Gilly, we could probably live with it—but Sudeikis's Mitt Romney impression is getting better and Wiig makes a great Ann! more ›

According to a couple of sources that spoke to Us Weekly, Saturday Night Live is about to lose some major players. Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg and Jason Sudeikis are all rumored to be leaving at the end of the season—an insider told them, "It will be a huge blow to the show." But really... it's about time, no? Wiig is too big for the show now post-Bridesmaids, Sudeikis has been doing just fine outside of studio 8H, and Andy Samberg has been there since the beginning of time! We will miss Samberg's Digital Shorts... but we're not really going to miss Wiig's Gilly character. more ›

Will Ferrell hardly needs an introduction. Last year he won the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor for his "impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th century novelist," which is to say he can pull off a heartwarming performance as an innocent elf as well as a boorish fraternity has-been, all while influencing the American electorate and cracking up his colleagues on SNL. more ›

Plenty of cameos were made the night Lindsay Lohan returned to the Saturday Night Live stage for the fourth time, but one time SNL cast member and Lohan-cheerleader was notably absent: Tina Fey. more ›

Tragic trainwreck Lindsay Lohan will be hosting Saturday Night Live for the fourth (fourth!) time tonight. According to TMZ's sources, "the actress plans to SING the majority of her opening monologue on the sketch show. Sources tell TMZ, nothing's off the table either—Lindsay will poke fun at all the recent mishaps in her life ... arrests, endless court dates, necklace-stealing sagas, jail, morgue duty ... the list goes on." more ›

Lindsay Lohan is returning to Saturday Night Live this weekend for her fourth time—even though there are so many other more worthy hosts out there—which means she's been busy at rehearsals and filming promos this week. You can watch the promos below, where it's no surprise that she's making an attempt to parlay her trainwreck years (2006 to present) into "comedy." It's really all she's got at this point! But can we all agree that it's just not funny, nor is whatever she has gone and done to her face? Also, stop trying to make "Lindsanity" happen more ›

Maya Rudolph returned to Saturday Night Live as host last night, and tackled a larger-than-life female music superstar. No, she didn't play Whitney Houston, but she did spoof Beyonce in a sketch about the Most Important Baby In The Whole World, Blue Ivy Carter. With Rudolph as Bey and Jay Pharoah at Jay-Z, the happy parents greeted a bevy of celebrities, from Prince (Fred Armisen) to Nicki Minaj (Nasim Pedrad), from Taylor Swift (Kristen Wiig) to Bon Iver (Justin Timberlake). more ›

Over the weekend, Oprah Tweeted: "To me Whitney was THE VOICE. We got to hear a part of God every time she sang." Sadly, that voice became muddled in the last years of Whitney Houston's life, but let's take a look back to her earlier years. All of the below videos are 100% guaranteed to give you goose bumps, from a 1976 recording of her singing at her Newark church, to the best "Star Spangled Banner" the country will ever hear: more ›

The site learned that police found a bottle of antifreeze and Gatorade in his room. more ›

Jimmy Fallon's first stint as an Saturday Night Live host meant many veteran SNL performers showed up for the last show of 2011. Rachel Dratch was Denise to Fallon's Sully in the cold open; Amy Poehler showed up, too; Chris Kattan, Tracy Morgan and a svelte Hortaio Sanz performed a song with Fallon; and, in the highlight, Fallon and his Weekend Update co-host Tina Fey had a joke-off with current Update host Seth Meyers and Poehler. more ›

Over the weekend Robyn rocked Saturday Night Live with her tall shoes and dance moves, but a few days before her performance, some SNL cast members recreated her video for "Call Your Girlfriend." Below, watch Taran Killam's rendition, which took place at 4:30 a.m. while on a writing break, and with assists from Vanessa Bayer, Abby Elliott, Bobby Moynihan, and Sarah Schneider. more ›

Burning questions on a rainy Hump Day: could this bit of trivial gossip somehow, actually, possibly, be true? And if it is, can we start taking bets on how long it will last? Page Six is reporting that funny lady Kristin Wiig and Fabrizio Moretti, aka that guy from The Strokes who dated Drew Barrymore, were "literally on top of each other," at a Black Keys (of course!) release party this week at the W Union Square club Lilium. Not figuratively! more ›

Steve Buscemi, the beloved character actor who has gone from "funny-looking" to the Golden Globe-winning lead in Boardwalk Empire, hosted Saturday Night Live for the second time last night. And he used his unconventional looks to play a sports coach who shockingly is NOT molesting his players, and Miley Cyrus's pal from Burning Man—plus he gave advice to other character actors trying to break out. more ›

Jason Segel, who has a little movie called The Muppets coming out this week, just talked extensively about his hosting duties on Saturday Night Live, also offering up this cute anecdote to Moviefone—his list of goals that he made when he was a kid had three things on it: to be on Letterman, to work with the Muppets, and to host SNL. He told them, "I did all three last week. In one week! That's not hyperbole, that's an actual list I had." more ›
