24 hours after Saturday Night Live aired last Saturday, 58 people lost their lives because some f*cked up psycho with more guns than anyone should ever own decided to terrorize innocent people for no known reason as they enjoyed Jason Aldean’s outdoor concert in Las Vegas. We were all sickened, saddened and shocked as we watched the news. With each press conference the number of dead and injured multiplied to numbers we could not fathom. There were no words, just prayers.
Then on Monday, the music world was saddened and shocked over the sudden death of Tom Petty at the age of 66 from sudden cardiac arrest.
As much as people want to laugh again, we need to be eased back into laughing. SNL found the perfect way to do that. Instead of opening the show with a skit about the White House, they had Aldean sing Petty’s I Won’t Back Down. Before the Country singer sang his first note, he told the audience, “This week we witnessed one of the worst tragedies in American history. Like everyone, I’m struggling to understand what happened that night and how to pick up the pieces and start to heal. So many people are hurting. There are children, parents, brothers, sisters, friends, they’re all part of our family. So I want to say to them, we hurt for you, and we hurt with you. You can be sure that we’re going to walk through these tough times together, every step of the way. Because when America is at its best, our bond and our spirit is unbreakable.”
SNL might have its problems, but they always know how to honor the tragic events of the week beforehand when need be. Sadly, that is happening way too often.
Most people on their 50th birthday do not want to get out bed, but Leslie Jones is not most people. She is celebrating turning a half century old by dancing to Trap Beckham’s Birthday Bitch wearing a little more than just her birthday suit!
Here excitement makes us want to celebrate with her. Thus, I Wonder who is she going to call to go to her big 5-0 party because I am sure it will be the hottest ticket in town!
Happy birthday Leslie! Party like you are 29 forever and ever because you do not look a day over it!
When you saw and heard Bernie Sanders for the first time, you thought he looked and sounded just like Larry David. You weren’t alone, so did Lorne Michaels which is why he asked the star of Curb Your Enthusiasm to play the Presidential Candidate on Saturday Night Live.
Does that mean that all tall, white haired, balding Jews from NY look and sound alike? Nope. Yesterday at the TCAs, David revealed that they are something like third cousins. According to Variety, the actor recently found that out when he filmed on PBS’s Finding Your Roots.
Now you know why they look and sound alike, they are cousins just like in The Patty Duke Show. Which makes me wonder how long it will be until Michaels pitches that as sitcom. I would totally watch them reconnecting like Balki and Larry did on Perfect Strangers!
Alec Baldwin had hinted that he was ready to hang up his blonde wig on Saturday Night Live, disappointing his biggest fans in the White House and beyond. It has been a few months since the actor said that and CNN just had to know if he changed his mind, like 45 does every day on Twitter? Baldwin told Chloe Melas, “Probably, a little bit of that…A couple of celery sticks now and then but not a whole meal.” Then he added, “I don’t know. I mean, I got a lot of things do this Fall, little things I am working on.”
Then he explained why he will fit it in, “I think people have enjoyed it.” That is a huge understatement. We have loved it so much we want to do illegal things to it. I am willing to forego him hosting Match Game just to keep him on SNL all season long. While I have been avoiding all the comedy shows making fun of the President, the only one I can tolerate is Baldwin. I cannot stand 45 and I think he is joke. He is just not a funny one that all those shows make him out to be. SNL gets it right because they nail every stupid thing he does in a brilliant way.
And on that note, CNN this better not be fake news because that would be cruel to do.
After months of speculation whether or not Dwayne Johnson would run for President in 2020, he made it official yesterday on Saturday Night Live. Not only did he announce his candidacy, he revealed who is running will be. That person is Tom Hanks and they have the winningest ticket since like ever.
In fact, I bet if they would say that they would assume the White House tomorrow, Republicans and Democrats alike would say OK and kick everyone out who is currently there. Not only that, they would bring peace to the World because everyone knows and likes them. Everyone would have health care, taxes would be lowered and everyone who wants to work would have a job.
What are they waiting for? Let’s make it official while the White House is empty. Who is with me?
Their slogan can be, “We’re Rock solid, tHanks you.”
