The season finale of SNL was the fifth time that Ben Affleck has hosted the show, officially making him a member of the "Fiver Timers" club. You may remember the pomp and circumstance that surrounded Justin Timberlake when he joined this elite group, so how was the Oscar-winning director of 'Argo' inducted?

Yet another blow to the SNL line-up. Since his arrival on the show back in 2005, Bill Hader has been one of my favorite cast members on Saturday Night Live. He’s joining the long list on members that have left the show. He wrote to the New York Times saying: ‘It was a hard decision, [...]

Is This the Bloodiest SNL Sketch Ever?

Jacob Hall — Sun, 12 May 2013 16:17:43 +0000

Although SNL is known for frequently pushing the boundaries of good taste, it tends to favor comedy of the sexual and political nature above anything else. That's why a certain sketch on last night's Kristen Wiig-hosted episode proved to be a massive shock -- it's not every day that the longrunning comedy variety show gets violent.

The return of Kristen Wiig to the SNL stage meant the resurrection of several great characters, including the Target Lady, her role on The Californians and, of course, Kat of "Garth and Kat" fame.

SNL Wishes You a Happy Mother's Day With 1-800 Flowers

Jacob Hall — Sun, 12 May 2013 15:13:31 +0000

Since it's produced so quickly, SNL will never not take advantage of any holiday that arrives near its air date. That meant that last night's episode saw a handful of mom-themed sketches in honor of Mother's Day! The first of them was a great fake commercial for a flower delivery service starring the terrific Kristen Wiig. Check it out below.

'SNL's' past weekend with 'The Hangover 3' star Zach Galifianakis might not have turned out to be as much of a sure thing as we might have liked, but here's hoping the writers saved their A-material for former castmate Kristen Wiig!

'SNL' Deleted Scenes: Zach Galifianakis Goes Retro for Bill Hader's 'Kanish'

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Tue, 07 May 2013 00:45:21 +0000

As expected, this past weekend's all-new 'SNL' featuring 'The Hangover Part III's Zach Galifianakis as host and musical guest Of Monsters and Men offered up a few solid sketches, but varied across the board for the bearded funnyman's third turn. Things could have gotten even stranger however, as a new un-aired sketch teams Galifianakis with Bill Hader for a retro detective comedy, but did this one deserve to make the cut?

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.
