Saturday Night Live: Tina Fey Promos

We love Tina Fey. The 30 Rock actress is returning to her old stomping grounds this weekend as Saturday Night Live's host for their season premiere. Like they do every week, the comedy sketch series released some promos featuring the host (Fey) and Kenan Thompson. If you recall from Sunday night's Emmys, Fey suffered a tiny wardrobe malfunction, so naturally she had to poke fun at herself. You have to watch this. Check out the SNL promos featuring Tina Fey below:

Saturday Night Live Announces Upcoming Guests

Written by Stephanie Coffey

It's that time of the year where all our favorite shows return to television. This of course includes Saturday Night Live. In a press release that NBC sent out today, we found out just which hosts and musical guests we can expect on this season of the comedy program. To name a few, we'll be seeing Miley Cyrus (she will be the host AND musical guest on October 5th), Bruce Willis, and Katy Perry. The 39th season of SNL kicks off on September 28th with Tina Fey as host and Arcade Fire as musical guest. Will you be tuning in? Check out the press release below: 

Bill Hader Leaves Saturday Night Live: Stefon's Farewell - Video

I think it says a lot about my strength that I'm able to get over my Post-Bill Hader Leaving SNL depression enough to wipe away my tears and make this post. I love Bill Hader. He was easily my favorite cast member of Saturday Night Live in a long time. I had been prepared to say goodbye to other cast members like Jason Sudeikis, Seth Meyers, and possibly Nasim Pedrad, but Bill's announcement of his departure from the show took me a bit off guard. Perhaps I was in denial. I know he'll go off to do amazing things but I will forever be bitter I didn't have the opportunity to camp out and see him live, on stage.

Last night's finale served more as a farewell to him and his buddies than a showcase of Ben Affleck. In fact, I barely remember him hosting. Last night, it was all about Stefon and Seth. And if their happily ever after didn't do it for you, maybe the touching musical number at the end that seemingly revealed both Jason and Fred Armisen were also leaving the show. Personally, when the cast, minus Kanye, all shed some tears as NBC finally showed the group hugs and goodbyes, was when I truly shed tears of my own.

Check out the video of Stefon's farewell, featuring cameos by Anderson Cooper and every weird club goer Stefon warned us about throughout the years, and Fred's musical goodbye here:

Seth Meyers Confirmed to Replace Jimmy Fallon

Well, it's official. Following the announcement that Jimmy Fallon would be replacing Jay Leno on The Tonight Show, the news of who would be replacing Jimmy in his late night timeslot began circulating. Seth Meyers has officially been named to take over Jimmy Fallon's late night show at 12:35 on NBC. With his time now being pretty taken up over his new late night duties, who will be taking over as head writer of Saturday Night Live?

What do you think of this news? I don't know how much I like the idea. Sometimes Seth comes across like he thinks his own jokes are hilarious and he doesn't have a genuine quality like Jimmy does.

Kristen Wiig Hosts Saturday Night Live - Promos

Kristen Wiig is returning to Saturday Night Live one year after leaving the show as a regular. What better way to celebrate her one year anniversary? One of SNL's best, we can't wait to see Kristen return to the show. Which of her characters will be going with her? In these new promos for Saturdays episode, Kristen brainstorms new character ideas with her SNL buddy Fred Armisen.

Vampire Weekend will appear as the musical guest.

Bill Hader to Host 'TCM Essentials Jr.' Showcase

Actor, writer, and comedic genius Bill Hader is branching out from his brilliant roles on Saturday Night Live. The comedian is returning to Turner Classic Movies this Summer to host the network's TCM Essentials Jr. showcase. Bill will be presenting 13 classic movies that are great for parents to introduce to their children. The showcase will begin on June 2nd on TCM with The Court Jester. The showcase will air throughout the Summer on Sunday nights.

In addition to his roles on SNL, Bill has a great list of upcoming projects and can be seen in the upcoming movie The Skeleton Twins and heard in Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2.

Vince Vaughn To Host Saturday Night Live

Vince Vaughn is set to return to Saturday Night Live. NBC has announced the actor will be hosting the show on April 13th, 2013. This will be his second time hosting the show, the first being way back in 1998. He will be following Melissa McCarthy, who will be hosting the show the week before on April 6th.

I don't know, you guys. I keep waiting for SNL to make a hosting announcement that will make me jump out of my seat in excitement. This isn't it. But of course, I'll be tuning in.

Will you? Are you excited to see Vince host the show?

Justin Timberlake Hosts Saturday Night Live - Video

With Justin Timberlake hosting the latest episode of Saturday Night Live, you hoped that the writers would wake up and bring out their good material. And they did. For the most part. A good 80-85% of the episode had me laughing out loud and that's a great percentage in a season that's been pretty lackluster. Although the episode relied heavily on veteran appearances from comedy legends Tom Hanks, Martin Short, Dan Akroyd, Steve Martin, Candice Bergen, Alec Baldwin, and Chevy Chase, most fans were so happy to see the show have so much energy that they didn't care if there was wasted potential. I admit, I'm one of them. I was thrilled to see Andy Samberg reunite with his Dick In A Box buddy but was left confused that they didn't participate in a more hilarious musical number. I kind of wished Andy hadn't used his Digital Short return on Adam Levine.

That being said, the night was full of some hilarious sketches including the return of Stefon. Here are the videos of our favorites from last night's SNL:

Justin Timberlake Hosts Saturday Night Live - Promo

After a couple of dud episodes, are you ready for SNL to hopefully bring back the laughs? With Justin Timberlake returning as a host and musical guest this Saturday, the odds are high for not only the laughs to be brought back..but also sexy. Come on .That joke was too easy. But here's hoping. I can't imagine how long the standby line for this week's episode will be.

Check out the preview promos for Justin's episode of Saturday Night Live here:

Kevin Hart Hosts Saturday Night Live

Kevin Hart hosted Saturday Night Live this week and the reviews are mixed. Some said it was the funniest episode in awhile, while others said it was an episode full of mediocre, badly written jokes consistent with the rest of the season. I have to say some of the sketches were just random and not well done at all. I didn't laugh much and I'm pretty sure he reused some of his material for his monologue. That being said, there were a few skits that gave us a chuckle.

Check out our picks for the best sketches from Kevin Hart's episode of SNL:

Justin Timberlake To Host Saturday Night Live

It's safe to say that Justin Timberlake has been a fan favorite every time he appears on Saturday Night Live. Between his music sketches with Andy Samberg to his hilarious comedic timing, he always seemed like a perfect fit. Like if he wasn't already famous, he would probably be a cast member. So it makes perfect sense that Justin would be returning to SNL on March 9th as both a host and musical guest. Something tells me this episode will be much more satisfactory than when Justin Bieber tried it.

Christoph Waltz Hosts Saturday Night Live

After last night's episode of Saturday Night Live, I am now convinced that Christoph Waltz is the cutest thing ever. It's always a question when a host is revealed to be a dramatic actor but I thought, given the writing that's been on a bit of a decline this season, he did a great job. There were little moments here and there that jumped out at me and made me laugh out loud. Some sketches were of course, better and funnier than others so we've picked out our favorites of the night.

Check out video of the best and the worst from last night's episode of SNL here:

Justin Bieber Hosts Saturday Night Live

I wasn't sure what to expect when it was announced that Justin Bieber would be hosting Saturday Night Live. Although it seemed like the writers relied heavily on the same joke over and over and focused more on the cast members' strengths and Justin's ability to sing, the show did deliver some laughs.

Check out the videos of our favorite sketches of the night:

Adam Levine and Andy Samberg Shoot Video With The Lonely Island

Is anyone else ready for a new video from The Lonely Island? Since Andy Samberg's departure from Saturday Night Live it's been awhile since the hilarious trio have been featured on the show. Not to mention we haven't seen a Digital Short since. The group was recently seen filming with Adam Levine. With the Maroon 5 frontman set to host SNL later this month, could the four of them be filming a new Digital Short for the episode?

Jennifer Lawrence Hosts Saturday Night Live - Promo

When Saturday Night Live returns from a long Winter hiatus, Jennifer Lawrence will be hosting the show. The Hunger Games star will be joined by musical guest The Lumineers when the show airs this Saturday on NBC. Fresh off a win at the Golden Globes, Jennifer will be a welcome breath of fresh air. Will she live up to Martin Short's amazing episode from December?

Check out Jennifer with Jason Sudeikis in these promos for Saturday's episode. What happens when Jennifer aims an arrow at an apple on Bobby's head? Check it out:

Adam Levine To Host Saturday Night Live

From worldwide success in Maroon 5 to fan favorite judge on The Voice, Adam Levine proves he's capable of almost anything. But how are his comedic acting chops? The singer is set to host an upcoming episode of Saturday Night Live. Having been a musical guest in the past, this episode will mark his first time hosting the show. His episode, featuring musical guest Kendrick Lamar, will air January 26th, one week after Jennifer Lawrence hosts the show. I need to double check my prescription or head to Zeal Optics to make sure I don't miss a second of this on TV.

Will you be tuning in?

SNL Dress Rehearsal: Renaldo and Alexi - Video

Some of my favorite SNL moments ever always seem to include a sketch where the hilarious Bill Hader gets the giggles. His giggle is up there with Anderson Cooper has one of my favorites. Really, any scene where the cast breaks character is a good one and this is no exception. The dress rehearsal video for last night's Renaldo and Alexi has both Fred Armisen and Bill fighting to get through the scene without laughing. It's definitely worth a look!

Check out the video from Saturday Night Live here:

Christina Applegate Hosts Saturday Night Live - Promo

The beautiful Christina Applegate will be hosting the upcoming new episode of Saturday Night Live with musical guest Passion Pit. This marks the first time Christina has hosted in 19 years, the last time being in 1993. This promo for the episode features Christina and SNL cast member Jason Sudeikis who, by the way, is lookin' really good.

Daniel Craig Hosts Saturday Night Live

Daniel Craig hosted last night's new episode of Saturday Night Live. I've been reading some reviews and while some of them seemed to think it was a dud overall, I actually enjoyed it. Daniel did a great job with the material he was given. Sometimes, the laughs just aren't there. But there were definitely some hilarious stand out moments for me.

Of course, there was coverage of the presidential debate but the episode featured a surprise appearance from everyone's favorite 8 foot tall yellow bird: Big Bird!
