Lizzo Cracks Up During ‘SNL’ Hosting Debut, Brings Twerking & Flute Skills To Sketch Series

46 years ago, a then historic heatwave gripped Europe. Out of the dying embers, 2 of the most incendiary moments in popular music history took place; the Bill Grundy interview of 1976, in which English punk rock outfit Sex Pistols executed a nihilistic verbal barrage aimed in the general direction of a drab post-war society in the grip of rising unemployment, was greeted by the tweed-clad public with shock and disdain.

A “Field of Dreams” series adaptation from “The Good Place” creator Michael Schur, based on the 1989 Kevin Costner movie, is establishing production offices and shooting locations in Iowa, Universal Television announced on Tuesday. Production is slated to begin this summer for the series, which will stream on Peacock. “The creative team behind this limited series cares deeply about the legacy of ‘Field of Dreams,’ and we felt we simply couldn’t make it without shooting in Iowa,” said executive producers Michael Schur and Morgan Sackett.

Lizzo is always ready for a performance!

Kim Kardashian has said that she asked for a joke about her divorce from Kanye West to be cut from Saturday Night Live. The reality TV star hosted the weekly live entertainment show in October, during which she appeared alongside future boyfriend Pete Davidson for the first time.

Kim Kardashian had a joke about her divorce from Kanye West cut from her "Saturday Night Live" skits because the topic was "sensitive" to the rapper. Kardashian discussed the cut joke during Thursday's episode of "The Kardashians." The joke was supposed to be said during "The People's Kourt" sketch of the night. During the sketch, Chris Redd as Kanye West was supposed to ask Kardashian to be his lawyer for their divorce.

EXCLUSIVE: If you interpreted the season 4 finale of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel to mean that character Gordon Ford was going to play a key role in future episodes, you would be correct: Deadline has learned that Reid Scott, who plays Ford, will become a series regular in the fifth and final season of the Prime Video series.

Not every joke made it past Kim Kardashian.

Kim Kardashian is taking us along on her Saturday Night Live journey!

Lizzo is preparing for Saturday Night Live this weekend where she will be both host and musical guest, shooting promos for the NBC late-night show.

Lizzo spoke about pulling double duty hosting and serving as a musical guest on this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live” during a new interview with SiriusXM’s “The Morning Mash Up”.

“Saturday Night Live” paid tribute to future Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in a cold open that had her visiting the ghosts of historical figures in the Oval Office.Jackson, played by Ego Nwodim was greeted by James Austin Johnson’s President Joe Biden, who she teased about not being able to pronounce her name.“Bet you can’t say that three times fast,” Nwodim said.“I’m shocked I was able to say it one time slow,” Johnson admitted, before bragging about fulfilling his campaign promise to place a black woman on the nation’s highest court.“One campaign promise down, 74 more to go,” the fake Biden cracked.“I was happy to do my part. Work twice as hard as white man all my life, then spend a week listening to Ted Cruz call me a pedophile,” the new justice said of her contentious confirmation hearings.Biden then left Jackson in his office to commune with the spirits of Americans that paved the way for her historic confirmation.Kate McKinnon’s Ruth Bader Ginsberg delivered one of her trademark “Gins-burns” about Cruz.

Netflix has made a new search category devoted to “Short-Ass Movies” in response to a recent Saturday Night Live skit bemoaning films with lengthy running times.Pete Davidson, Gunna, Chris Redd and Simon Rex collaborated for the comedy song that lambasts films that exceed runtimes of 100 minutes as not suitable for late night viewing.Taking aim at titles such as The Batman, Amadeus, Heat and Once Upon A Time In America for their extended runtimes, Davidson says he can’t handle any more long movies because he’s “a simple man with no attention span”.Netflix responded to the video on social media this week (April 4) with the caption “Good idea,” and a link to the newly created Short-Ass Movies category, which includes selections that adhere to the SNL sketch’s call for “a really short movie, like at most an hour 40″.good idea https://t.co/PIIix3MZUK https://t.co/lyJmpuGBko— Netflix Is A Joke (@NetflixIsAJoke) April 4, 2022Davidson also jokes about the runtime of his own movie, The King Of Staten Island, which has a runtime of 2hr 17mins. “But we needed all of those minutes,” he claims.You can watch the sketch that inspired the move below, in which Davidson raps: “Three hours, 47 minutes? Bro, you must be crazy/ No thanks, I’mma watch a short-ass movie like Driving Miss Daisy.”Last weekend’s (April 2) episode of Saturday Night Live also took on the Will Smith Oscars slap in a number of sketches across the show.Host Jerrod Carmichael dissected the incident in his cold open on Saturday Night Live without directly mentioning Smith, Rock or the word “slap”.

Tinseltown’s latest interminable monstrosity? Not to worry: Netflix has devised a novel way to appease viewers with fleeting attention spans — by rolling out a “Short-Ass Movies” category featuring films that are 90 minutes or less. They were inspired by last week’s “Saturday Night Live” sketch, appropriately titled “Short-Ass Movies.” In it, Pete Davidson, Chris Redd, musical guest Gunna and actor Simon Rex rap about not wanting to watch movies longer than an hour and a half.

Saturday Night Live inspired a new category at Netflix!
