There's never really a way to know whether a Saturday Night Live sketch will become an instant classic or quickly fade from memory. As Will Ferrell taught audiences on April 8, 2000, however, you can tilt the odds pretty drastically in your favor if you fall back on a Blue Öyster Cult hit, some banging cowbell and a fittingly bizarre Christopher Walken performance. That's what drove the now-legendary "More Cowbell" segment. In the re-imagined recording session that produced the radio classic "(Don't Fear) The Reaper," sideman Gene Frenkle (Ferrell) is aggressively encouraged by cowbell-craving producer Bruce Dickinson (Walken). None of...

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...
