The announcement was made today: Fox has canceled the Saturday-night sketch-comedy series MadTV after 14 seasons and reportedly several dodged cancellations in recent years. As a result of the development, the current season will be MadTV’s last on Fox.
If you’re a fan of the show, however, there is a little hope. According to […]

Last night, former Saturday Night Live staple Amy Poehler, wife of actor-comedian Will Arnett, gave birth to the couple’s first child, a boy, after being in labor all day Saturday. Of course, she missed her late-night gig in order to bring Archie Arnett, who weighed a healthy 8 pounds and 1 ounce, into the […]

Here’s a little more election humor for the masses:
The limited-run Weekend Update Thursday version of Saturday Night Live did it this time, pitting Tina Fey’s brilliant Sarah Palin impersonation against SNL alum Will Ferrell’s equally impressive caricature of outgoing U.S. President George “Dubya” Bush. I’m thinking the ace comics delivered yet another memorable SNL […]

Tina Fey dropped by CBS’ Late Show with David Letterman last week to discuss lots of things, including, of course, her recent spate of Emmy-worthy Saturday Night Live appearances impersonating Alaska governor and U.S. Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
Yeah, the governor visited SNL last night and participated in two mostly unfunny sketches, but Tina’s […]

Did she score?
Not in my opinion, but at least Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were there to take up the (considerable) slack. Where would SNL be without these two women?
Videos of Alaska governor and U.S. Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s segments on the October 18th episode of Saturday Night Live follow the jump, […]

You betcha!
According to the New York Post’s very own Cindy Adams, Alaska Governor and Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin is heading to NBC’s weekend comedy sketch show Saturday Night Live to play herself, and she’s doing it willingly.
Cindy says: “Sarah Palin is doing ‘Saturday Night Live.’ Not Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin doing ‘Saturday Night […]

This is getting ridiculous! Tina Fey is starting to make a better Sarah Palin than the real Sarah Palin, what with three spot-on impersonations of the Alaska Governor and Republican Vice Presidential candidate under her belt now.
Yes, 30 Rock mastermind Fey appeared on Saturday Night Live again this weekend to reprise her stellar Palin […]

It was like déjà vu on Saturday Night Live last night.
This time, however, Amy Poehler portrays CBS News anchor Katie Couric, not New York Senator Hillary Clinton, while Tina Fey reprises her unforgettable impersonation of quickly deflating Republican Vice President candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
The skit parodies Palin’s recent disastrous interview with Couric, only […]

If you haven’t heard yet, Saturday Night Live’s 34th-season premiere on September 13 featured a single highlight that is destined to go down in the annals of television history as one of the medium’s most memorable events: former SNL head writer Tina Fey and current SNL player Amy Poehler addressing the nation as Republican Vice […]

…and knocks the parody out of the park.
My madness had a clear method. When I posted about the 34th-season premiere of Saturday Night Live yesterday, I intentionally failed to mention the buzzed-about potential visit by former SNL head writer and current 30 Rock mastermind Tina Fey.
There was just so much talk and hope it […]
