This past weekend during 'SNL's' heartwarming season finale, cast and crew bid adieu to both Bill Hader and Fred Armisen, while less in focus was the fate of fellow veteran Jason Sudeikis. Sudeikis has kept mum on the prospect of his 'SNL' future, but has cast member Jay Pharoah accidentally spilled the beans?

SNL Says Goodbye to Bill Hader and Stefon

Last night's season finale of SNL was a huge deal. Not because Ben Affleck was hosting (although he was great), but because it was the final episode for Bill Hader and head writer/Weekend Update anchor Seth Meyers. The show had to send them off in style and that could only mean one thing: the final appearance of Stefon.

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.

SNL: Zach Galifianakis Kills With His Opening Monologue

Jacob Hall — Sun, 05 May 2013 15:49:03 +0000

Some SNL hosts just feel like they were born to be on that stage and Zach Galifiankis is one of them. Rather than do a traditional monologue, he performed six minutes of his oddball, avant garde stand-up comedy. It was a great reminder that he may be a big movie star now, but he's still one of the great modern comedians.

NBC's other major late-night force 'SNL' has very much stepped up its game in the last few outings, with this past Saturday's Melissa McCarthy-fronted turn proving almost as entertaining as her original stint in 2011.

Saturday Night Live doesn't often tackle religion, but when it rains, it pours! You may have already seen the instantly viral 'Djesus Uncrossed,' but have you seen the fake advertisement for a service that assists Popes with their retirement plans? It manages to combine relevant comedy with a spot-on commercial parody, effectively killing two SNL birds with one stone. Check it out below.

Emerald Catron — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:44:14 +0000

Hey, remember Will Ferrell’s nutty Old Milwaukee ads that were only shown in Iowa? Well, he’s back with a new one, and it makes even less sense. This time the ad is Swedish and features dubstep because, well, it’s Will Ferrell and he does whatever Will Ferrell wants. What could be better than Will Ferrell [...]

‘Modern Family’ bombshell Sofia Vergara hosted ‘Saturday Night Live’ last night and, of course, she emphasized her sexiness and cleavage.
