It’s been six years since Justin Timberlake released his last album, Man of the Woods, which sold 422,000 copies stateside — his first album not to crack a million. To promote the release of his sixth studio album, Everything I Thought I Was, out March 15 on RCA Records, the former boy bander served as the musical guest on tonight’s Saturday Night Live in support of his Social Network co-star Dakota Johnson. After popping up during Johnson’s monologue and joining his sketch-comedy partner in crime, Jimmy Fallon,…

After a miserable NFL parody cold open and a cheeky monologue featuring host Dakota Johnson (dressed to the nines in a black jumpsuit reminiscent of Phoebe Waller-Bridge in Fleabag), musical guest Justin Timberlake, and his pal Jimmy Fallon, Saturday Night Live Weekend Update co-anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che took over. And you just knew they were going to address columnist E. Jean Carroll’s defamation trial win over Donald Trump. Yes, in June of 2019, Carroll penned a column in The Cut alleging that…

This week’s Saturday Night Live kicked things off with a damn near unwatchable parody of CBS’ NFL broadcast before Dakota Johnson took the stage looking absolutely incredible, dressed in a number that recalled Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s black jumpsuit in Fleabag. The actress described her upcoming film Madame Web — a Spider-Man spinoff co-starring Sydney Sweeney — as “kind of like if AI generated your boyfriend’s perfect movie.” “I’ve been doing a lot of press for it and I’m just… not good at talking to…

Timberlake will be the musical guest while Dakota Johnson hosts this weekend Justin Timberlake is ready to throw hands against some Muppets on Sesame Street. SNL released its teasers for this Saturday’s upcoming show, where Timberlake is set to perform as musical guest while Dakota Johnson will take on hosting duties. Johnson and Timberlake were joined by cast member Sarah Sherman for the promos this week, and she made jokes about how attractive the two guests were, as well as a loosely…

Long before she transitioned, Harper Steele was a writer at Saturday Night Live. She was hired in 1995, the same week that a performer named Will Ferrell joined the cast. Unlike his fellow Groundlings Chris Kattan and Cheri Oteri, who’d also been recruited from the L.A.-based improv group to join SNL that season, Ferrell had a hard time finding his groove right away. No one quite knew how to use this tall comedian with the deadpan stare and an ability to go from 1 to 1,000 on the rage scale in seconds flat. But Steele…

MTV, this is your sign to bring back your old programming! On Monday, Saturday Night Live released a hilarious “cut for time” sketch playing off the MTV classic reality show, Pimp My Ride. Host Jacob Elordi appeared in the sketch as a Russian janitor whose car broke down, prompting Please Don’t Destroy boys to want to help by “fixing” his car. And to make the throwback show reference feel even more nostalgic, the Pimp My Ride host himself, Xzibit, made a hilarious cameo. The clip opens with Elordi, playing a…

There were red flowerpot hats on each of the seats. The “Energy Domes,” as they used to call them, were Devo‘s headgear of choice during the early 1980s, back when the band went from extremely bizarre, unclassifiable group to extremely bizarre, slightly more classifiable (postpunk, New Wave, geek rock) group who’d somehow turn a single entitled “Whip It” into a massive hit. No one the Sundance Film Festival audience to put them on before the premiere of Devo, Chris Smith’s documentary on the pride of Akron, Ohio. But…

Jacob Elordi joked about a steamy Saltburn scene as he hosted the first Saturday Night Live of 2024.“You might know me from Saltburn, not from seeing the film, just from seeing the TikToks, “ the 26-year-old star began.A scene from the movie was then shown to the audience, where Barry Keoghan’s Oliver Quick is naked on top of Felix Catton’s grave.“Yeah, I was the one in the grave,” Elordi added, to laughter from the audience.He then went on to apologise to fans who watched the film with their parents. Jacob Elordi…

“Saltburn” and “Euphoria” actor and apparent “babygirl” Jacob Elordi hosted “Saturday Night Live” in an episode that inverted the usual “hot girl host” dynamic (see: Emma Stone, Ana de Armas). Instead, multiple sketches featured female cast members fawning over the handsome and very tall Australian actor. They included a “Bachelorette”-type sketch in which Elordi’s height alone secures him a win on a show with otherwise diminutive bachelors called “Crown Your Short King”; one about a women’s AA group that accommodates a…
