“Molly at the start of Season 2 is nursing her wounds a bit, but has really taken charge of her life,” Maya Rudolph said of her Loot character at the show’s Deadline Contenders TV panel Saturday. “For her, that includes a wellness, a real growth at the Wells Foundation and really stepping into the role of being boss, which is really invigorating for her.”

Kristen Wiig received a star-studded reception last night when she hosted “Saturday Night Live” for the fifth time allowing her to join the elite “Five-Timers Club.” “I am so happy to be back, and I am so excited because it is my fifth time hosting, so I am officially in the five-timers club,” Wiig, 50, told the excited crowd. After taking a moment to welcome the “SNL” band, the “Palm Royale” star explained the significance of the club to the gathered audience. “So I have to say as a former cast member, it is very special being a five-timer,” Wiig said shortly before being interrupted by Paul Rudd who asks the “Bridesmaids” star if he could be part of the sketch where she gets her jacket.

Kristen Wiig returned to Saturday Night Live to host the show for the fifth time, which meant she would be inducted into the five-timers club.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large A star-studded group of veteran “Saturday Night Live” guest hosts were on hand this evening to welcome Kristen Wiig into the “Five-Timers Club.” But much to Wiig’s chagrin, most of them haven’t matched her feat of actually hosting “SNL” five times. The former “Saturday Night Live” cast member made her fifth appearance as host — having previously hit the stage in 2013, 2016 and twice in 2020. The stolen “SNL” valor actually began with a legit five-timer: Paul Rudd, on hand to welcome her from the audience.

A TikTok user has gone viral for her hot take — or should we say, not-hot take? — about the women of Saturday Night Live!

viral TikTok claiming “hot women” are never hired on “Saturday Night Live.” “First of all, it’s a comedy show, not a beauty pageant,” Behar, 81, said Thursday. “It’s not for men to ogle the women trying to get a laugh.”But the fiery redhead also asserted female comedians shouldn’t be intimidatingly beautiful, either, because audiences will be “too busy looking at your boobs and working out something going on in their head, especially the men.”She didn’t limit her critiques to the women of “SNL” either, adding that legendary late cast members John Belushi and Chris Farley “were not my ideal dates.”“So the men are not that hot [either] — meaning sexy,” she quipped.

Two years ago, following a vast array of attempts at a hit small screen vehicle for uber-talented “SNL” veteran Maya Rudolph, Apple TV+’s “Loot” hit the sitcom world, entering on new divorcée Molly Wells (Rudolph) trying to navigate and decide what to do with an enormous $87 billion settlement. Eventually, she settles on re-engaging with her charitable foundation, reconnecting with the real world, and trying to find out who she is along the way.

“I’m finally home,” a radiant Kristen Wiig says at the top of the first promo for her Saturday Night Live hosting stint this weekend. “And the best part of returning home: Your childhood bedroom — or in my case, dressing room. Lorne promised he’s always leave it just the way I’d left it.”

Deadline’s Contenders Television, the event where stars and showrunners talk up their shows ahead of Emmy voting, has unveiled its panel lineup.

“Saturday Night Live” has “never” hired a “hot” woman in its nearly 50-year run — and some of the show’s female cast members had hilarious reactions. “Am I the only person who’s ever noticed that ‘SNL’ has never hired a, like, hot woman?” the TikTok user, who goes by Jahelis on the platform, asked in a video uploaded March 21 and currently has more than 482,700 views.“I’m not saying that every single woman who has been a cast member on ‘SNL’ is ugly,” she continued.
