“Saturday Night Live” Apparently Had A Plan To Win Over Conservatives With Shane Gillis
Variety says that Saturday Night Live had a plan but it sort of completely went wrong. Yes, I’m talking about the mess that was Shane Gillis. As you know, Shane was hired to be white guy number 7 of the cast, but his life exploded when the internet brought out a podcast episode from last year of him and his friend/co-host Matt McCusker referring to Chinese people as “chinks” and lamenting their desire to learn English while in public, etc. Well, it turns out that SNL actually wanted a guy like Shane because they wanted to bring in the conservatives.
Alec Baldwin Isn’t Totally Done With Playing Trump
That was quick. Much like Alec Baldwin denying he ever went full-Alec Baldwin over a parking spot, Alec Baldwin is now denying that he’s 100% done with squinting hard in a wig that appears to be made of old attic insulation.
Alec Baldwin Doesn’t Want To Play Trump Anymore
There was a time when one of Alec Baldwin’s favorite things to do on a Saturday night was to jump into a messy pile of wigs, ties, and orange setting powder, and drag his Twitter enemy Donald Trump during the cold open of Saturday Night Live. It almost brought him as much joy as getting into fist fights with strangers on the street. But that love affair is over. After two Emmy nominations and one win, Alec Baldwin says he’s ready to call it a day.
Chris Kattan Claims Lorne Michaels Pressured Him To Sleep With A Director
Chris Kattan is claiming Lorne Michaels is not only a boss but also a bit of a pimp. Chris Kattan recounts that while making “A Night At The Roxbury” Amy Heckerling (who was supposed to direct it) wanted a piece of Mango and tried to get with him. When he turned her down, she threatened to quit the movie. This infuriated Lorne and he tried to (allegedly) get Chris to give her a piece of Mango.
Goopy Spoofed GOOP On “Saturday Night Live”
As if losing an hour of sleep for daylight savings time wasn’t the most INSUFFERABLE thing about this day already, Saturday Night Live just went and made the weekend worse with their GOOP parody on Weekend Update. I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that they brought Gwyneth Paltrow on as a surprise guest to make fun of her to her face yet failed by pulling back on all of their punches, or that they failed to offer a mock PSA on the benefits of steaming one’s vagina while simultaneously boiling water for making organic zucchini spaghetti. Major missed opportunity.
Open Post: Hosted By Halsey Performing Double Artistic Duty On “Saturday Night Live”
Wait – Halsey performed on Saturday Night Live but was also the host? Was this SNL’s version of frugality – getting some sorta-known singer to also speak words in skits? Whatever it was – Halsey probably realized she’s not exactly on the superstar train just yet. So she knew she had to make her performances as memorable as possible. Which she did by painting a portrait of her (?) face on the stage floor while singing her song “Eastside” during her second song. And she painted upside down!
