EXCLUSIVE: Dana Carvey and David Spade have teamed up to launch their own weekly talk show podcast about Saturday Night Live.
The comedians, who both previously featured on the NBC late-night comedy, are launching Fly on the Wall with podcast company Cadence13.

Damon Albarn has addressed the fact that Taylor Swift doesn’t write all her own songs, saying that her co-writing approach is at odds with his “traditionalist” view on songwriting.The Blur and Gorillaz frontman, and soloist in his own right, was speaking in a new interview when he highlighted what he argued are “big” differences between acts who write their own songs, such as Billie Eilish, verses those who seek input from others.He told The Los Angeles Times that performing stripped-back sets in promotion of his new album ‘The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows‘, leaves him more exposed than when performing with a full band. “You learn whether the songs are any good or whether they were popular at the time because of the sound and the attitude,” he said.The interviewer picked up on his comment and asked whether many modern acts rely on “sound and the attitude” rather than the timeless quality of their music, to which Albarn replied: “Name me someone who’s not.”After it was suggested to him that Swift is an “excellent songwriter”, he said that she doesn’t write her own songs (the interviewer clarified that co-writing is involved).“That doesn’t count.

As former Saturday Night Live cast member Will Forte said in his Saturday Night Live opening monologue, it took getting his MacGruber the series to launch on Peacock for him to finally be invited to host the late-night sketch program 12 years after he’d left.
As tonight’s episode of Saturday Night Live wound down, the show paid tribute to its former writer John Bowman, who died suddenly at home in California on New Year’s Eve, aged 64.
Will Forte returned to over the weekend for his first time as host and, as expected, he brought MacGruber with him.The character — who first was created on as a parody of MacGyver, then went on to have his own movie, and just dropped the first season of a TV show on Peacock last month — is famously bad at everything he does, and ends up getting everybody blown up.However, Forte managed to breathe fresh life into the still-funny sketch, with a little help from his co-stars Kristen Wiig and Ryan Phillippe.The first sketch of the night (because they almost always comes in threes), sees the trio trying to defuse a bomb in a bank, inside a sealed vault. All three are wearing protective face masks, before MacGruber asks them to take them off, so he can use them to create some elaborate contraption to defuse the explosive.«Now both of you, hand me your masks!» MacGruber declares. «No time to explain, masks now!»As MacGruber lights the masks on fire in a tin can, Wiig's Vicki St.
