One of the nice things about being famous and rich (although not as rich as you might think) is that you can hire someone to manage your social media for you. I’m not saying Sydney Sweeney doesn’t personally check her notifications on X or her DMs on Instagram, but if she did, she might lose […]

Katie Britt Thought It Ruled That Scarlett Johansson Played Her In An ‘SNL’ Sketch That Made Her Seem Like A Hammy Creep
Last week Katie Britt went from semi-obscure MAGA lawmaker to semi-household name. It wasn’t for a good reason. She was the poor Republican chosen to deliver the predictably chaotic rebuttal to Joe Biden’s fiery State of the Union speech, and her soliloquy — hammy and creepy in equal measure — became instant comedy fodder. Britt […]

Read MoreSydney Sweeney And Glen Powell Had Themselves A Cute Little Reunion With Him Crashing Her Date Night In An ‘SNL’ Sketch
Sydney Sweeney hosed SNL Saturday, and she used her opening monologue to make light of her fame.

Last week Mitch McConnell, the longest serving party leader in the Senate’s history, announced he was stepping down. The move wasn’t unexpected.

Read MoreJoe Biden’s Team Desperately Tries To Make The Case That He’s Young At Heart In The ‘SNL’ Cold Open
Joe Biden’s pretty old. He’s even older than the guy whose brain is broken and who’s threatening to be a dictator who’ll help start World War III. But yeah, 81 is old, and if re-elected, he’ll be 82 by the time his second term begins. SNL usually reserves their Cold Open for the broken brain […]

Read MoreOne ‘SNL’ Musician’s Stony Reaction To Shane Gillis’ Rocky Opening Monologue Turned Some Heads
On Saturday Shane Gillis made his belated SNL debut. Why belated? Because the first time the comic was supposed to appear he got fired, after people dug up a litany of racist and sexist jokes he’d made prior to scoring a cast member gig. Since then he’s become something of a big star — big […]
Read MoreShane Gillis Gains Magical Powers When He Scores Trump Gold Sneakers In The ‘SNL’ Fake Trailer ‘White Men Can Trump’
Last night’s SNL was a touch awkward. The host was Shane Gillis, one of the more popular comedians right now…who happened to have been fired by the show a few years back over past racist and sexist jokes. To his credit he didn’t go the Gina Carano route and start hanging out with Ben Shapiro. […]
Read More‘SNL’ Weekend Update Compared Vengeance-Seeking Trump To One Of Batman’s Most Formidable Foes
With every primary win — and every legal loss — Donald Trump gets closer and closer to having to show what it’s like when someone runs for president from jail. On Saturday the serially indicted candidate nabbed yet another state: South Carolina. Has that humbled him? Pshaw. It’s only made him angrier. At this weekend’s […]
Read More‘SNL’ Cold Open Dragged Republican Wimps For Surrendering The Party To Trump Again
Remember when Donald Trump was toast? He’d dined with anti-Semites, his business was found guilty of fraud, he’d launched a scammy line of NFTs. The Republican Party thought they could finally move on. What a difference a year and change makes. Now he’s improbably back on top, spewing nonsense and dodgy garbage like it was […]

How big is Sydney Sweeney right now? So big that no one seems to mind that she’s second-billed in the latest comic book movie bomb.

Read More‘SNL’ Had Teens Losing Their Virginity To That Nightmarish ‘Dune 2’ Promotional Popcorn Bucket
In another timeline Dune: Part Two would have already come and (maybe) went.

That’s not too far off, and its ad campaign has already reached some new, […]
Read More‘SNL’ Weekend Update Dragged The MAGA Crowd For Being Inexplicably Mad At Taylor Swift (And Everybody And Everything)
Last week the conspiracy theory-loving wackos in MAGA hatched some next level nonsense: Taylor Swift is conspiring with the “deep state” to rig the Super Bowl and then somehow get Joe Biden re-elected. Makes sense, right? Or does it? MAGA’s latest doozy earned them a whole new level of mockery (while all but ensuring the […]
