As we all know Alec Baldwin was kicked off of an American Airlines flight for refusing to stop playing Words with Friends when the stewardess told him to. Ever since the incident the 30 Rock star has been quiet about what happened, but yesterday he broke his silence on Saturday Night Live. Well technically he did because instead of going on as himself, he went as the Captain Steve Rogers on Weekend Update and apologized to himself for what happened. I wonder if after that he is not only on American Airlines “Do Not Fly” list, but everyone elses too?
Jason Segel hosted Saturday Night Live yesterday and he shared his monologue with some very special friends…The Muppets. That has to be the best monologue that SNL has had since the man that is hosting the Oscars was the show.
Even though the How I Met You Mother star can’t believe he is hosting the NBC show, I could totally believe it because he has a natural gift for humor. Although it laugh harder at him when his clothes are off…

Molly Shannon went out in a little black dress and she looks as comfortable wearing it as I feel as comfortable watching her comedies. In other words both of us are squirming in our seats.
The 47 year old Superstar should stick to comedy and not try to be a sex siren.
Tonight at 9p on NBC we get to see the Backstage of Saturday Night Live and learn so many secrets about the show’s 35 year history. We will get to hear about all aspects of the show from the monologues, to skits, to the Weekend Updates, to the musical performances, to the endings and everything in between from the past and current cast members. Cast members tell us how they became part of the show, their favorite characters and never before told stories about experiences they had on the show. Lots of names from the past are included oin this two hour specials like Steve Martin, Victoria Jackson, Joe Piscopo, Chris Rock, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon, Collin Quinn and so on. Besides hearing their versions of the stories, we all learn why Eddie Murphy killed Buckwheat, some famous bits that worked and didn’t work and why for both. It is an amazing look at 35 years of television in 2 hours because let’s be real we all at some point were a fan of the show and now we will learn something about it we never knew. Like how Lorne Michaels reacted to Sinead O’Connor ripping up the picture of the Pope on live television. So make sure to watch SNL Backstage tonight on NBC at 9p, I promise you will find it as interesting as I did.
Saturday Night Live surprised Jesse Eisenberg, who played Facebook founder Mark Zuckenberg, with the man himself during the monologue of the show yesterday. Believe it or not the Oscar nominee never met the man he played until yesterday. You would think when he found out he was playing him, they would’ve met. If not then, then at the premiere of the movie or at least at one of the many awards shows that The Social Network has been nominated or won at.
Either way, I think it was really cool that we got to see the two of them meet for the first time like that! You could tell that Jesse was genuinely surprised to meet the man that changed his life forever. And in a way the man who changed our lives too…
