We Need to Talk About Amazon Studios' Awesome 'Forever'

Maya Rudolph and Fred Armisen star in Amazon's new sleeper hit. Amazon Prime Video Photo by: Amazon Prime Video #Forever #FredArmisen #Portlandia #MasterofNone #AlanYang #30Rock #MattHubbard #MayaRudolph #SNL #Comedy With little fanfare—even less spilling of its secret central conceit—Amazon released its new comedy,  Forever , earlier this month. Starring Maya Rudolph and Fred Armisen as married couple June and Oscar, it’s a show that wrings every last bit of humor out of the day-to-day humdrum of domestic partnership. It’s like if one of the odd couples Armisen was a part of on  Portlandia  wrote their own show after a lot of therapy. It also happens to be one of the best new shows of the fall. Created by Alan Yang ( Master of None ) and Matt Hubbard ( 30 Rock ),  Forever  also has a premise that’s better left unshared. (At least in this intro; we can’t promise there are no spoilers below.) Like an onion made of wit and insight and tract housing, it...

Eddie Murphy calls his old stand-up jokes about gay people 'cringey': 'Oh my God, I can't believe I said that'

#EddieMurphy  #SNL #Stand_Up #Homophobicjokes His  much-lauded return to  Saturday Night Live   saw  Eddie Murphy  revisiting some of the most popular characters from his past, including Mr. Robinson and Gumby. In a  new interview with  CBS Sunday Morning , the comedian is taking another look back — but this time, it’s at some of the problematic jokes that haven’t aged so well. In a conversation with  CBS ’s Tracy Smith, the 58-year-old star was asked to reflect on homophobic jokes he included in his ‘80s stand-up routines, including a bit about having “nightmares about gay people” in 1983’s  Delirious . While Murphy told Smith that he still finds “some” of his old material to be funny, not everything has held up. “Some of it, I cringe when I watch," he admitted. "I'm like, oh my God, I can't believe I said that!" Eddie Murphy is reflecting on some of his most controversial jokes. He added that he was unfazed...

RuPaul to host Saturday Night Live for the first time

#SNL #Rupaul #JustinBieber #RuPaul'sDragRace #SaturdayNightLive Just as we suspected, the “H” in “Studio 8H”  absolutely  stands for “Henny.” At least that will be the case on Feb. 8, when RuPaul sashays into New York City’s Rockefeller Center to host  Saturday Night Live  for the first time. NBC announced Tuesday that the Emmy-winning  RuPaul’s Drag Race  icon, recording artist, actor, and drag superstar will front the episode, with  Justin Bieber  as musical guest. RuPaul and Bieber’s episode will fall one week after NFL star J.J. Watt and country artist Luke Combs front the Feb. 1 show.

Let Peppermint and Jiggly Caliente From RuPaul’s Drag Race Take You There With SNL’s ‘GP Yass!’

#JigglyCaliente #Peppermint #SNL #RuPaul'sDragRace #DragQueen This whole time, we’ve been dumping millions into developing automated, self-driving cars, when we really just needed a  RuPaul’s Drag Race  GPS voice to solve society’s most pressing issue: not having a  RuPaul’s Drag Race GPS voice.  In Saturday’s “GPYass!” sketch, former # DragRace  contestants #Peppermint and #JigglyCaliente stopped by to show you the way, though honestly, you should know by now not to speed recklessly and accidentally flatten anyone’s squirrel friends.  Both ladies took to Instagram afterward to thank  Saturday Night Live  for the cameo, but really, the show couldn’t have sissied that school zone without them.

‘SNL’: Watch Miley Cyrus Perform ‘Nothing Breaks Like a Heart’ With Mark Ronson

#MarkRonson #MileyCyrus #SeanOnoLennon #SNL Miley Cyrus’ last album, the rootsy Younger Now was widely known as a departure from her 2013 pop record Bangerz. But the release of her new single “Nothing Breaks Like a Heart” alongside Mark Ronson signals that the singer is ready to return to full-on pop. For the Matt Damon-hosted Christmas episode of Saturday Night Live, Cyrus returned to Studio 8H on December 15th for her fourth appearance as musical guest on the show, performing a dramatic rendition of “Nothing Breaks Like a Heart” with Ronson. While Ronson plucked the acoustic guitar, Cyrus crooned the single over a backdrop of a climactic car chase from the song’s music video while sporting a platinum suit. Later in the show, Cyrus opted for a more festive look pairing a red cocktail dress with the poinsettia stage design for her cover of “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” with Ronson and Sean Ono Lennon. Joining Cyrus on stage was Ronson and Lennon, who sang backup vocals wh...

The story of SNL's cue cards is fascinating. No, really.

#SNL, #CueCards , This surprisingly interesting video goes behind the scenes at Saturday Night Live to show how crucial their cue cards are to the show. No teleprompters for them. A team of eight, led by SNL's cue card supervisor Wally Feresten, lovingly handwrites (and edits and rewrites) them for each and every episode. (Lifehacker)

Comedian Chris Rock caught the moment on his phone and posted it to Instagram. “The blacks want always Democrats,” West said, donning a “Make America Great Again” cap. “You know it’s like the plan they did, to take the fathers out the home and put them on welfare. Does anybody know about that? That’s a Democratic plan.”  West gets a few sparse claps then con...
