Mark Richards — Mon, 06 May 2013 10:02:59 +0000

If you caught SNL over the weekend you were treated to host Zach Galifiankis and a killer opening monologue. Friends and I were treated to a comedy club performance featuring Zach while in San Fransisco a few years back . He is a fantastic comedian. So instead of a traditional monologue, Zach performed six minutes of his oddball, hilirious stand-up comedy. Sure, he may be a big movie star now, but he's still one of the great modern comedians.

SNL: Zach Galifianakis Welcomes You to "Darrell's House"

Jacob Hall — Sun, 05 May 2013 16:47:16 +0000

Although much of last night's SNL was fairly standard (albeit, very funny) stuff, there was one sketch where it felt like host Zach Galifiankis was allowed to run wild. The scene found the 'Hangover' star playing the host of a public access TV show about how to entertain guests in your home and...well...let's just say that you have to watch it.

If you’ve been thinking, “Saturday Night Live” hasn’t been taking enough risks lately, well, just wait until you see “Djesus Uncrossed,” which puts Jesus Christ in a Tarantino-directed, ultra-violent revenge flick that parodies his movie “Django Unchained.” Warning: you may be offended. The narrator states, “He’s risen from the dead, and he’s preaching anything but [...]

This past Saturday was a big night for SNL marking very funny Andy Sandberg's return after his departure last year, Adam Levine hosts the show for the first time and rapper Kendrick Lamar was the musical guest... The shenanigans that ensued during the show are another post altogether, but here's the brand new Lonely Island 'YOLO' digital short with a twist on the "You only live once..." phrase.

'SNL' Volunteers Jennifer Lawrence as Next Host

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 17:15:44 +0000

This past weekend's 'SNL' with Martin Short hosting and music legend Paul McCartney, certainly proved at least memorable, between the solemn cold opening paying tribute to the victims of the recent Sandy Hook tragedy, and Samuel L. Jackson accidentally cursing not once, but twice amid the sketches. So how can the series top itself again when 'SNL' returns in 2013? By recruiting 'The Hunger Games' and 'X-Men: First Class' star Jennifer Lawrence, as its next host, of course! Will she pay tribute to the 'SNL' greats?

Modern Family's Sofia Vergara Hosts Saturday Night Live

Mark Richards — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:13:30 +0000

I'll be tuned into SNL this weekend for sure. Her onscreen son, Rico Rodriguez, has just one teensy-weensy concern: "I don't think she knows how to read a teleprompter!" he tells Eonline. "But that's OK because she's Sofia. She doesn't even have to say anything to keep people entertained." After all, just look at her!

Get Ready, 'SNL,' for a Taste of Channing Tatum – Hunk of the Day [PICTURES, VIDEO]

Mark Richards — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:13:03 +0000

“Bridesmaids” and “SNL” star Kristen Wiig’s romance with Strokes heartthrob and drummer Fabrizio Moretti is really heating up. The pair, I can’t resist calling Wiigetti, were spotted “partying pretty hard” at dimly lit subterranean lounge Cabin Down Below on Sunday night in the city. It’s being reported that Wiig and her “Saturday Night Live” pals had [...]

Even though it was just reported that Katy Perry plans to take a year off to focus on starting a family with funnyman hubby Russell Brand, Perry’s publicist revealed that she will be hosting the Dec. 10 episode of ‘Saturday Night Live.’ So Perry is not taking any sort of break before 2011 wraps.

More Great Shows Coming To The Stanley In Utica [VIDEO]

Mark Richards — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 14:42:28 +0000

If you missed Peter Pan at The Stanley, you missed a great family friendly show. If you miss the Goo Goo Dolls tonight, you’re going to miss a rockin’ show. I don’t have any Peter Pan footage of the Stanley Theatre show, so I thought I’d put you in the spirit with one of my all time favorite [...]
