Tina Fey After last week’s welcome return to the studio that made her a household name, Tina Fey did not buck tradition and surprise us with a first-ever command performance. Ryan Phillippe And while truth-be-told, we’ve always had a soft spot for the actor thanks to his work in such guilty pleasures as Cruel Intentions [...]

THE GOOD: In a word, well two: Tina Fey. Whether she’s trotting out her eerily spot-on Sarah Palin impersonation (You just know some poor NBC exec is already developing TODD!), scarfing down a “Duncan Hines’ Brownie Husband” in a hilarious commercial spoof, or playing a lovelorn teacher inappropriately eyeballing her student (Justin Bieber), there is [...]

Because topping the charts and twitter clearly isn’t enough for the latest tween sensation to sweep the nation, Justin Bieber will take his act to the tube this weekend where he’ll join professional Sarah Palin impersonator and 30 ROCK actress Tina Fey on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. Which judging from these promos, might actually be worth [...]

The Good: It doesn’t take much for The Hangover star Zach Galifianakis to make us laugh (Said the actor during his understated opening monologue, “I’ve been in Canada, opening for Miles Davis.” Only to quickly follow that that up with… “Kilometres Davis.”) Which is why — combined with the-never-not-funny mockery of Kathie Gifford and Hoda [...]

Just as we were ready to pull out what has unfortunately become our go-to Sunday morning headline where SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE is concerned — you know, the one that goes a little something like…. “We Watched SNL So You Didn’t Have To!” — along comes Jon Hamm. Who — from his fantastic opening monologue that [...]

Forget “What was up with that?” The question TV Addicts should be asking ourselves as we once again wake up on a Sunday morning with a bad taste in our mouths following yet another disastrous instalment of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE is, “What is up with us?!” Why is it that week-in-week-out, we continue to tune [...]

The Good: If last night’s SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE illustrated anything, it’s that Taylor Lautner has a bright future in front of him…

Although this TV Addict is the first to admit that we’ve taken more than our fair share of shots at SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE over the years, the generally uneven NBC late night institution does excel at one thing: Acting as a barometer for whether or not the particular week’s host (aka. Hollywood’s current “It” Boy [...]
