Bill Burr is taking off on a quick eight-show arena tour from March through August this year.Midway through the short run of gigs, he’ll perform his audacious brand of comedy at Newark’s Prudential Center on June 24.Other notable stops include Los Angeles on March 21, Las Vegas on May 6 and Springfield, MA on Aug. 12.The 54-year-old Massachusetts native is coming off a big 2022 too — last August, he became the first comedian to headline Boston’s Fenway Park.

Saturday Night Live has been criticised after using “offensive” Irish stereotypes during an Oscars sketch on the show at the weekend.The sketch, which was aired the day before the 95th Academy Awards ceremony, saw Marcello Hernandez and Heidi Gardner acting as presenters who were interviewing Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, who were played by Mikey Day and Molly Kearny.“How do you guys like your chances tonight?” Gardner asks them in reference to The Banshees Of Inisherin, with the comedians replying in extremely thick, hard-to-understand accents.“Wow, and they haven’t even started drinking yet!” Hernandez then responds.All the stars are out at the Oscars pic.twitter.com/BHKygkLJPW— Saturday Night Live – SNL (@nbcsnl) March 12, 2023The sketch sparked a backlash with Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee sharing the clip with the words: “Yes this fine” followed by a face-palm emoji.Yes this fine

NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” had Oscar fever in its opening segment, ahead of Tinseltown’s big night.Marcello Hernandez and Heidi Gardner portrayed “Access Hollywood’s” Mario Lopez and “either Maria Menounos or Kit Hoover, they haven’t told me yet,” Gardner cracked.Mike Tyson, played by Kenan Thompson, was on hand as a hired security guard tasked with preventing another dustup like the Will Smith assault on Chris Rock.“I should warn you, the following things will set me off,” the fake Tyson announced. “Clapping, statues of gold people, and shows that last more than two hours.”Serial lying Long Island Rep.

On the latest “SNL,” the “Weekend Update” segment ended on a goofier and funnier than usual note when Colin Jost said they had run out of material but still had a couple of minutes left to fill. Instead of Jost and his co-host Michael Che coming up jokes to fill the void, they brought out the show’s resident impressions master James Austin Johnson to fill that time with a series of random impressions. And, they were pretty funny.First, Johnson did an impression of Adam Driver as Kylo Ren from “Star Wars” on the show “Girls”“Anna, do you know how difficult it is to be on the dark side of the force.

Colin Jost kicked off Weekend Update with a couple of Oscar yuks, including one that reference John Travolta and how he botched Idina Menzel’s name at the 2014 Academy Awards.

It had to be the Academy Awards that got burned in tonight’s SNL cold open, didn’t it? But did it have to be this gammy cold open?

Katie Reul editor The latest episode of “Saturday Night Live” opened with Marcello Hernandez and Heidi Gardner masquerading as two reporters from Access Hollywood stationed at the 2023 Oscars red carpet. The two recounted the miserable circumstances they’ve endured throughout the day — from limited bathroom breaks to long lines outside of the Dolby Theatre — before Hernandez chimed in, “But it’s all worth it to ask Angela Bassett if she really did the thing.” The comment was aimed at “Westside Story” star Ariana DeBose, who celebrated leading and supporting actress nominees at the 2023 BAFTA awards with a now-viral rap. But the jokes didn’t stop there; Gardner proceeded to levy jabs at the Academy, satirizing the award show’s implementation of revised security protocol following last year’s ceremony.

Another week, another episode of Saturday Night Live!

USA Today, the LA Times, the Washington Post, and more. And, according to Dilbert himself, he was blindsided.“I think I can speak for myself and the entire all-white staff at Dilbert offices when I say this was a total shock,” Dilbert told Colin Jost during Weekend Update.

Katie Reul editor The centerpiece of “Saturday Night Live’s” March 4 “Weekend Update” segment was a skewering of “Dilbert” comic creator Scott Adams, who went on a racist rant last month that spurred dozens of newspapers to drop his long-running syndicated cartoon strip. Michael Che, co-anchor of “Update” with Colin Jost, interviewed the cubicle-dweller himself, the cartoon character Dilbert, in an effort to understand how Adams could have gone so off the rails in suggesting that white people are under threat from Black people. Over the course of a controversial YouTube video posted Feb. 22, Adams described how he purposely moved to a community with no Black residents and urged white viewers to “get the hell away from Black people.” He also called the Black community a “hate group.”

SNL took aim at Netflix’s Too Hot to Handle, the American-British reality dating show that’s hosted by a candy corn-shaped virtual assistant.

As soon as SNL host Travis Kelce mentioned that his brother Jason was in the audience, chances looked pretty good that his sib would get to join in on the fun.

Katie Reul editor On the heels of a close victory at Super Bowl LVII, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is once again taking over global television screens as this week’s host of “Saturday Night Live.” The episode opened with a mock “Fox & Friends” segment, featuring Mikey Day as Steve Doocy, Heidi Gardner as Ainsley Earhardt and Bowen Yang as Brian Kilmeade. The sketch comes amid a cascade of embarrassing revelations around Fox News and its major stars in recent days as the litigation grinds on in the $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit filed against Fox News by Dominion Voting Systems after the 2020 election. As Earhardt, Gardner says of the network’s founder Rupert Murdoch: “Rupert Murdoch would never murder anyone. They sent him away for life. Look how sad he looks.” An image of convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh then appears on the screen as Earhardt realizes her mistake.

Well, this is upsetting. We imagine most everyone following the case of the University of Idaho murders is on roughly the same page right now.
