    Dana Carvey knew his stint on “Saturday Night Live” would be cut short thanks to former President Joe Biden. The “Wayne’s World” actor was slated to spend six weeks in New York City to impersonate Biden at the request of the show’s head honcho, Lorne Michaels. “Lorne is very persuasive,” he tells Page Six in an exclusive interview before imitating Michaels, “‘It’ll be Autumn in New York … and then afterwards you can tell us to -–- off.’ It was like, ‘OK, six weeks in New York.'”

    The Saturday Night Live cast brutally slammed Elon Musk during the show's cold open, leaving the live audience - and viewers at home - groaning in discomfort. The Tesla CEO, played by Mike Myers, was seen cutting off President Donald Trump - impersonated by James Austin Johnson - wearing a cheese hat like the Tesla CEO did on March 31 for a rally in Wisconsin. 'Say cheese! Hahahaha, kidding, kidding,' Myers said as he tossed the hat to the side. 'That was from when I tried to buy the election in Wisconsin, uhhhh, I'm an idiot, I should've just bought...

  • Tom Hanks Faces Brutal Backlash From Trump Supporters After Mocking Them in SNL Sketch

    Townhall ^ | 02/17/2025 | Sarah Arnold
    During Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary episode, leftist Hollywood actor Tom Hanks crossed the line with a cruel mockery of Trump supporters, sparking outrage across conservative circles. In the skit, Hanks gleefully ridiculed hardworking Americans who support the president, painting them as out-of-touch, foolish, racist idiots. The sketch, which many are calling despicable, adds fuel to the growing animosity from Hollywood elites toward everyday citizens who hold conservative views. For many, Hanks’ participation in this blatant attack is yet another example of the left’s relentless disdain for those who don't share their progressive agenda.AdvertisementHanks first portrayed a controversial character named...

    It shouldn’t come as a shock that the best parts of the “Saturday Night Live” 50th anniversary special last night on NBC were seeing iconic stars back in Studio 8H again. Everybody got to watch at least one of their favorites. It was the rare event that was just as nostalgic for 30-year-olds as it was for nonagenarians. After Paul Simon, 83, kicked things off dueting on “Homeward Bound” with Sabrina Carpenter, 25, Steve Martin, who was never a cast member but hosted the program 16 times, began with a terrific opening monologue. “A person born during the first season...

    Actor Tom Hanks played a racist Trump supporter in a Saturday Night Live bit for the sketch show’s 50th anniversary on Sunday. The sketch resurrected the character Doug, who first made an appearance in 2016 for the Black Jeopardy! sketch. Per USA Today: Hosted as usual by Kenan Thompson’s Darnell, this version of “Black Jeopardy!” featured Leslie Jones, Tracy Morgan and Eddie Murphy, who was showing off a Tracy Morgan impression that was almost better than the real thing. Or actually one of the best bits Murphy’s done in the last decade. Tom Hanks made an appearance as Doug, the...

I can't remember this happening since I fired Norm MacDonald. What a treat." The event will kick off by celebrating fifty years...

    Live from New York! As “Saturday Night Live” gears up for its 50th anniversary special, several alumni shared wild tales about their time on the iconic sketch comedy show, including comedian Laraine Newman, 72, who revealed she got on one EGOT winner’s bad side.(snip) While starring on “SNL” between 1975 and 1980, Newman played Streisand, in which she mocked her ego and salary in a sketch. “[SNL writer] Marilyn Miller wrote this incredible song called ‘Me,’ and the lyrics are great: ‘Even if one of my films sucks, it still makes 4 million bucks for me,'” the comedian recalled. Newman...

    Barron Trump was the target of a cruel joke on Saturday Night Live this weekend, with one comedian mocking the 18-year-old's impressive height. The comedy sketch made a pointed hit at the 6-foot-9-inch NYU student in the first SNL show since Trump's historic inauguration on Monday - with cast member James Austin Johnson playing the president. But the skit took a wicked turn - with Johnson comparing the President's youngest son to the Lord of the Rings character Gandalf, because of his physical appearance. The cutting jab comes just months after Barron re-emerged into the public eye on his 18th...

    Leftist late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon was thrown off guard when his audience, who usually panders to his anti-Trump rehotirc, cheered for the President’s return to the White House, creating a hilarious viral moment. Fallon, who repeatedly attacked Trump during his first term, appeared on the show sporting a navy blue, full-brim hat with a white wrap, mirroring what First Lady Melania Trump did during the inauguration.

    Comedian Dave Chappelle called for President-elect Trump to “do better” in his second term and praised former President Jimmy Carter during his “Saturday Night Live” monologue. In his opening monologue, Chappelle braced the country for the second Trump term. He called on the president-elect to be a better politician than his first term because the world was counting on him. “To Donald Trump, I know you watch the show,” Chappelle said. “Remember, whether people voted for you or not, they’re all counting on you. Whether they like you or not, they’re all counting on you. The whole world is counting...

    He doesn’t need more cowbell. “Saturday Night Live’s” iconic “more cowbell” sketch starring Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken gets a behind-the-scenes deep dive in a new documentary – and Ferrell reveals that Walken isn’t such a fan. In the Peacock documentary “SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night” (premiering Jan 16), Ferrell, 57, recalled how Walken, 81, starred in a play several years after that famous “SNL” sketch. “I went to see [Walken] backstage, and he’s like, ‘You know, you’ve ruined my life … every show, people bring cowbells for the curtain call and bang them. It’s quite disconcerting,'” Ferrell revealed.

    Late-night hosts relentlessly made Donald Trump the focus of nearly all of their jokes before the presidential election, but failed to sway the voting, as revealed by a new study. A shocking 98 percent of the jokes made by Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and Saturday Night Live in the lead up to Election Day made Trump the butt of the joke, according to media watchdog group Media Research Center. As many as 1,428 of the 1,463 political jokes on these shows - from September 3 through October 25 - were targeted at Trump, the study found....
