UPDATE: National Enquirer Publisher David Pecker, on the witness stand today in Donald Trump‘s hush money trial, detailed the tens of thousands of dollars the tabloid shelled out to “catch and kill” potentially embarrassing stories during the 2016 presidential election campaign.

Saturday Night Live‘s Heidi Gardner said she tried mighty hard not to break character during last weekend’s now-viral Beavis and Butt-Head sketch, but seeing fellow cast member Mikey Day in full Butt-Head mode was just too much.

UPDATE: Prosecutors will be allowed to present evidence that Donald Trump had a special arrangement with the National Enquirer during the 2016 election cycle to publish positive stories about him and negative pieces on his rivals.

One of the sketches where most of the Saturday Night Live cast completely broke character was in the Beavis & Butt-Head parody.

Known for breaking character and cracking up Saturday Night Live cast members in his previous two hosting stints on the NBC sketch program, Ryan Gosling stayed true to himself, laughing in every skit he was in, much to the delight of the audience, and challenging his co-stars to keep a straight face, even a season vet like Kenan Thompson.

William Earl administrator Singer Dua Lipa will be pulling double duty on the May 4 episode of “Saturday Night Live,” hosting and acting as the musical guest. The announcement was made during Saturday’s episode, hosted by Ryan Gosling and with music from Chris Stapleton. Lipa’s upcoming third studio album “Radical Optimism” is set to drop on May 3.

Ryan Gosling is hosting Saturday Night Live on April 13 and is seemingly nervous about meeting musical guest Chris Stapleton.

Among those looking to experience the magic of the solar system were celebrities, who happily took to social media to share their experiences.

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.

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.

The women of Saturday Night Live are commenting on a viral TikTok video that claims the NBC sketch show has “never hired a hot woman.”

“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.
