Can you believe there was a chance of Mary Katherine Gallagher not making it on Saturday Night Live?  Molly Shannon told the story this morning.

Folks on Facebook are saying it's the coolest thing ever and love it when he tells stories. That's what Jimmy Fallen is doing in his re-cap of Saturday Night Lives 40 Anniversary after party at the Plaza Hotel. Talk about star studded. He did so much singing that he lost his voice.

God Bless Paul McCartney. At 72 (73 in June) he is still having a great time performing and most of the time it's great, but this particular song should not be on his play list anymore if he was feeling OK last night. When Paul McCartney started singing Maybe I'm Amazed I truly thought it was part of a Saturday Night Live joke...

NBC has remained curiously quiet on ‘SNL’’s three-hour 40th Anniversary special on February 15, and while cameos galore are expected, our first major homecoming may have arrived. Following a 31-year absence, Eddie Murphy will reportedly return to ‘SNL’ to ring in the NBC sketch comedy legend’s 40th anniversary.

Yeah it is a little strange that a newly minted Oscar winner like Matthew McConaughey would be caught dead making television commercials for Lincoln cars. However, it did lead to a series of fake 'SNL' commercials featuring guest host Jim Carrey playing the 'Dallas Buyers Club' and 'True Detective' star, so who are we to complain?

Don Pardo, the man who introduced the 'SNL' lineup every week since 1975, has sadly passed away at the age of 96. Pardo also lent his voice to radio, sports, game shows, and commercials over the course of his incredibly long-running career, but we'll always remember him best for that wonderful phrase: "It's 'Saturday Night Live!'"

Mr. Bill, remember that guy?  The guy made of what appeared to be made of play dough from the old SNL in the 70s?

Amidst all of the news of many of the original Star Wars cast returning for the latest installment along with writer Lawrence Kasdan, will the music for the movie be just as lucky?

Sometimes, 'SNL' is at its absolute best when it decides to go fully and truly off the rails. When the show does abandon reality, it often does so in the final sketch of the night, where things are allowed to get crazier and funkier since more easily unsettled audiences tend to be asleep. Of course, this is just a long-winded way of saying that no sketch has dominated the final segments in recent

Wes Anderson's incredibly distinctive style has been parodied before, but rarely with the skill that 'SNL' and host Edward Norton displayed in the most recent episode of everyone's favorite comedy variety show. A pre-recorded bit, the fake trailer for 'The Midnight Coterie of Sinister Intruders,' imagines what an Anderson-directed horror movie would look like and the results are near perfect. Read

It's Fall and Halloween is right around the corner, so you know what this means: pumpkins, and lots of 'em. Like us, the folks at 'SNL' know that this is the season where pumpkin products take center stage and invade every corner of your home, but unlike us, 'SNL' has the time, budget and duty to make a fake commercial that grotesquely showcases that there is one area of our lives that pumpkin fla

Amid all the other major premieres this week and next, we'd nearly forgotten that 'SNL' will kick off its 39th season this coming Saturday, with alumni Tina Fey taking up hosting duties and Arcade Fire on the musical side. The first preview for Fey's return to the 'SNL' stage has arrived, but has everything already come unhooked?
