August 22, 2006 -- WHAT's going on be hind the scenes at "Saturday Night Live" this month may be more dramatic than any thing you'll see on the two prime-time shows starting this fall based on the famed late-night comedy.

Let me guess:
"Piranha!"
"Tarantula!"
"Shark!"
"Boa Constrictor!"
"Cobra!"
"Black Mamba!"
"Python!"
"Insert Reptile/Serpent Here"
"Insert Generic Medieval/Dragon Title Here"
The SciFi channel would do better to go back to the 1970s and start showing older SciFi that hasn't been seen for over 30 years. Plenty of good stuff with certainly better production values than their home-brewed crap.
and just where did you get that info at?
I liked Cheri Oteri and Molly Shannon...
They should re-hire Norm MacDonald in his old spot as Weekend Update host. He was the best.
I will tune into SNL again, as soon as it spoofs Hillary for being a fat witch. Maybe show her eating a bucket of fried chicken, while shrieking at her staff.
You know, kind of like how it spoofed Linda Tripp and Monica.
SNL hasn't been funny since the days of Phil Hartman,Dana Carvey, and John Lovitz.
And all of the Tina-bashers on this thread probably think the same thing.
It's actually a story on CNN's website...hope it's false, like everything else on CNN...but i have a bad feeling it's true.
Wow, I'm catching a plane to NY to audition. They need a cute, black, conservative chick on the show.
I haven't watched TV since Uncle Miltie....
I love the MD TV Stuart skits.
The only 'moderate' actors from SNL are Norm MacDonald and Colin Quinn. The rest are so far left that they can't see the middle. SNL and the Jon Stewart show have gone so far left that I can't watch any more. Both shows used to be funny because they skewered both sides of the political spectrum. No surprise even Stewart's ratings are down. Not funny anymore.
ok thanks I'll go check it out
There are some talented people..AMY POHLER, in my opinion, is one of the funniest people EVER to be on SNL.
You go girl!
SNL doesn't even make me smile! It was only funny during the John Bulushi-Bill Murray times. Any more it is like watching an 8th grade production! The guy who "attempts" to immitate Pres. Bush isn't even close. It really is a pathetic show and I am shocked it has stayed on this long!
Tina Fey is a primary reason that show got unfunny. She was a top dog on that show and all she did was bash Bush.
I thought the new cast was doing an excellent job...but I loved Farscape...so, maybe I am biased.
The content and story line, and effects, were very good quality with SG-1...and honestly, the SCIFI channel has a hard enough time feeling up a Friday Night with quality SCIFI shows...must say, I do like Eureka...
If Bonnie Hammer is still President of programming at SCIFI she needs her head examined...she cancels Farscape...mistake...cancelling SG-1 is another mistake...she's got a teflon job like a weather forecaster.
Have to agree with you on that one.
I think that the first 100 times, liberals found Steward calling Bush an idiot funny. But now, even liberals are catching on to the punchline.
