SNL

You don't have to be a sports fan to know that the NFL has come under fire in recent weeks for how it has handled (or failed to handle) its players committing all kinds of heinous crimes. Although this is a very serious matter that has football fans deeply troubled and concerned about the future of their favorite sport, it's certainly not above satire, which is where 'SNL' comes in.

When you have 'Guardians of the Galaxy' star Chris Pratt guest hosting your season premiere of 'SNL,' you find time for a Marvel sketch. Much like how the show poked fun at 'The Avengers' when Jeremy Renner hosted, this episode found a very game Pratt participating in an amusing fake movie trailer that not only made fun of his space opera blockbuster, but Marvel Studios in general.

After all the turnover season 39 of 'SNL' brought to the cast, between Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, Jason Sudeikis and Seth Meyers departing, as well as controversial additions like that of Sasheer Zamata, the 40th anniversary season of the long-running NBC sketch comedy was expected to bring with it a few changes. Now, the first of the season 39 freshmen have been cut, as cast member Brooks Wheelan announces he won't return this fall.

Tracy Morgan ('30 Rock,' 'Saturday Night Live') is in critical condition after a six-vehicle accident on the New Jersey Turnpike early Saturday morning. Morgan had been riding in a limo bus from Dover, Delaware where he performed Friday night.

In addition to Sam Smith surprising everyone with his US debut performance, 'Saturday Night Live' opened with a hilarious skit featuring President Obama (played by Jay Pharoah) trying to figure out new ways to get people to sign up at Healthcare.gov. With the help of a White House social media expert, he finds himself taking photos with parody versions of Justin Bieber, Harry Styles of One Directi

Ahoy, mateys!  Lady Gaga turns ship's captain in an unaired Saturday Night Live sketch that's now been posted online.

Kerry Washington from one of my favorite shows ABC's Scandal, was the host of NBC's Saturday Night Live this past weekend and she blew it out of the water! I can't say I remember the monologue much but man, that first skit was hilarious which led to another and another.

Justin Timberlake got an all-star welcome into the "Five-Timers Club" on Saturday Night Live this weekend. Not only did members Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin, Tom Hanks, Paul Simon, Chevy Chase and Candice Bergen show up to wish him well, but ex-cast member Andy Samberg and Jay-Z also stopped by for the occasion.

Though not every sketch exploded off the page, this past weekend's 'SNL' with 'Django Unchained' (or rather 'Djesus Uncrossed') star Christoph Waltz definely brought the sketch comedy show to heights it hadn't yet achieved this year. During the performance, NBC announced that acclaimed comedian Kevin Hart will take the 'Saturday Night Live' stage next on March 2, along with musical guest Macklemor

Justin Bieber's been hyping his new album Believe Acoustic for weeks now, but the album has finally arrived and with it, the music that The Bieb describes as "super honest" and "me."

This week Maroon 5 lead singer and host of NBC's 'The Voice' Adam Levine stops by to try his hand at hosting 'SNL' -- but can he hack it?

He mentioned it on Twitter before, but now Justin Bieber is really pushing the fact that he's going to appear on Saturday Night Live...maybe.  On Monday, Justin tweeted, "maybe im hosting and performing on SNL...maybe. :)."
