Kristen Wiig: What are the 'SNL' Mvp's career prospects?
25 May 2012 11:48 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Kristen Wiig made her final regular appearance on Saturday Night Live last week with a moving send-off that was grander and more heartfelt than the sketch show has given a cast member in quite some time. With half a dozen film projects in the works, Wiig is poised to launch into a long, successful career on the A-list. But then again so was David Spade, Jimmy Fallon, and Tina Fey. While those SNL vets have all flourished in television, Wiig has made no move toward the small screen, and it’s harder to become a bankable star on the level of Will Ferrell, »

Interview: ‘30 Rock’ Star Kevin ‘Dot Com’ Brown Embraces Career in Comedy
25 May 2012 6:46 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – While some stand-up comics shield themselves with an ironic, larger-than-life persona, Kevin “Dot Com” Brown’s approach is more conversational. He mines the humor in his own life while developing a genial rapport with the audience. Some may still find him to be larger than life, but that would most likely be due to his formidable size.
After sharpening his acting chops on stage and screen, Brown got his big break when he was cast as “Dot Com,” the stage-trained actor in Tracy Morgan’s entourage on Tina Fey’s hit NBC sitcom, “30 Rock.” Shortly after Brown’s special appearance at April’s C2E2 convention, Hollywood Chicago spoke with him about his accidental entry into show business, his longtime friendship with Tracy Morgan and how his background as a bodyguard helped him land movie roles.

What's so funny about 40? 'Bridesmaids' director Paul Feig's tips for turning 40
24 May 2012 11:56 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Everywhere my pop-culture lenses look, Hollywood is feeling 40. From Megan’s surprise party for Don on Mad Men a few weeks back (zou bisou bisou!) to the recently released trailer for Judd Apatow’s second fortysomething comedy This Is 40. (One can only assume Apatow is working towards a complete trilogy). Tina Fey’s Bossypants, the crescendo of which has the 30 Rock creator and star grappling with what turning 40 means in terms of motherhood and career — and whether or not she needs to immediately take her pants off when she gets home now — is still hovering near the top of »

Tina Fey Enjoys '7 Minutes In Heaven,' Continues To Reign As Queen Of Viral Video Internet Interviews
22 May 2012 2:38 PM, PDT | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
Tina Fey is one of my favorite people and she's probably one of your favorite people too (unless you're a Sarah Palin super fan, in which case … well, to each his own).
So it's with great pleasure that we bring you her hilarious "7 Minutes in Heaven" interview with Mike O'Brien. Watch Fey riff on Liz Lemon's cameo on "Breaking Bad," throwing up at Gramercy Tavern, making out with John Goodman, which "Cosby" is she (and which would she be comfortable with watching her shower) and, of course, making out – as is the custom on the Internet sensation chat fest.
Watch:
This interview comes just a few weeks after she tore Zach Galifianakis apart on "Between Two Ferns," another online smash (though Fey's appearance did air first on TV before dominating the Internet).
Check it out, after the jump.

Watch: 7 Minutes In Heaven With Tina Fey
22 May 2012 5:43 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The latest episode of "7 Minutes in Heaven" -- the celebrity interview web series hosted by "Saturday Night Live" writer Mike O'Brien -- finds Tina Fey in the closet.
She and O'Brien (who is sporting a tasteful mustache this episode) cover all the topics fans are dying to hear about: making out with John Goodman, public puking, and which Cosby she'd feel most comfortable having watch her take a shower.
And of course they seal the whole deal with a semi-passionate embrace.

'SNL': Sorry 'Boston Powers' and Dave Grohl, you didn't make the cut
21 May 2012 9:05 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Saturday Night Live released its third “Kings of Catchphrase Comedy” sketch, which was supposed to air this weekend. It’s pretty obvious why it didn’t make the cut: Not enough Wiig! SNL spent most of its finale bidding a fond farewell to Kristen Wiig after seven years, and, though her few seconds as Triangle Sally in the cut skit were awesome, they were too paltry to merit inclusion. Watch the unaired sketch below.
There are some genuinely funny bits in this “Kings” bit: Boston Powers (Seth Meyers), the sight of Nasim Pedrad playing a harp, and Jay Pharoah’s off-the-wall/out-the-’hood Black Joker, »

'Saturday Night Live' poll: Who will be the next Kristen Wiig?
21 May 2012 8:42 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
When Amy Poehler left SNL in December of ’08, Kristen Wiig suddenly became the show’s only full-fledged female cast member. And even after Abby Elliott was officially promoted to repertory player in 2010, Wiig still stood out as one of the series’ most visible performers — and its most visible female player by far. With a dynamo like Wiig dominating the stage and taking nearly every female speaking role, it was nigh on impossible for any other woman to make an impression.
Now, though, Wiig is freeing up her Saturday nights — and the sketch show’s four remaining ladies (Elliott, Vanessa Bayer, »

'Saturday Night Live' recap: Jagger rocks out, and Kristen Wiig bids farewell

All year, SNL viewers have had one burning question on their minds. And tonight, we finally got an answer: So that is what Chris Kattan looks like now.
Oh, also: Kristen Wiig really is exiting the show. I hate to see her go, but loved watching her leave — that concluding sendoff sketch might have been the sweetest thing on Saturday Night Live since Steve Martin said goodbye to Gilda Radner.
But I’m getting ahead of myself. The Kristen Wiig Farewell Tour kicked off with a Lawrence Welk Show reprise that gave Wiig’s tiny-handed Dooneese one last time to shine (at least, »

Happy Blerg-day, Tina Fey! Here's to 42 years of funny business
18 May 2012 9:25 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Hey, nerds! Who’s got two thumbs, speaks limited French, and celebrates her 42nd birthday today? That’s right: Tina Fey, creator of 30 Rock, writer of Mean Girls, and overall funny-lady legend. Let’s recognize the occasion by high-fiving a million angels — and remembering some of Fey’s greatest creations.

If you’re searching for the perfect gift for Fey, look no further than J.C. Penney — where you’ll find plenty of denim with nine-inch zippers and casual front pleats. Saturday Night Live’s then-head writer penned this classic ode to unflattering pants in 2003; it’s still »

Season finale review: '30 Rock' - 'What Will Happen to the Gang Next Year?'
18 May 2012 6:18 AM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
A review of the "30 Rock" season finale coming up just as soon as I'm living in a Bill O'Reilly erotic novel... What we've all assumed for a while was confirmed late last week (then denied on Sunday by Bob Greenblatt, then confirmed again on Monday, because that's how NBC rolls lately): the next season of "30 Rock" will be its last. The show has been on a creative upswing for most of the past two seasons, but I can understand how everyone must be feeling burnt out, and also that Tina Fey would rather walk away while the show's still »

Happy Birthday, Tina Fey! 30 Rock Star Turns 42
18 May 2012 4:30 AM, PDT | E! Online - UK | See recent E! Online - UK news »
Who doesn't love Tina Fey? No, seriously. The Saturday Night Live alum has provided us countless moments of laughter throughout the years, and we just wish we could give her something awesome for 42nd birthday today. Hmmm...what would Liz Lemon do? Along with being an author and (we're assuming) the coolest mom on the block, Fey replaced the hole in our hearts left after her departure from SNL with her hilarious creation 30 Rock. Sadly, now that will be coming to an end after the seventh season. "We think the world of Tina and hope she will be in the NBC family for years to come," NBC boss Robert Greenblatt said, and we couldn't agree more. (E! and NBC are both part of »

'30 Rock' finale: Jack and Avery have marital issues
17 May 2012 7:39 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
So many season finales have a wedding as a hook, and it appears that "30 Rock" is not immune from this tried and true feature. But as we've come to expect from the sitcom, they have a little bit of a different take on things.
Here's what we learned on Thursday's (May 17) episode:
[Spoiler alert]
Jack (Alec Baldwin) and Avery (Elizabeth Banks): The two are planning to renew their vows now that she's free from North Korea. But things get complicated when competing interests - Scott (Michael Mosley), Avery's mom Diana (Mary Steenburgen) and Kim Jong Il - each look to have their own reasons for stopping the nuptials. In the end, it appears that Jack and Avery may have the best reasons of all.
Hazel (Kristen Schaal) and Kenneth (Jack McBrayer): Hazel is on the verge of homelessness. So Kenneth, being the caring person that he is, decides to help her out. »

Mike Ryan: The End Of 'SNL' Digital Short Era?
17 May 2012 11:09 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
This past Saturday, during the Will Ferrell-hosted installment of "Saturday Night Live," the 100th Digital Short was aired. Also, when you factor in the very heavy rumors that Andy Samberg is leaving SNL after the season finale this weekend, it may also have been the very last Digital Short.
The Digital Short era began in 2005 when Andy Samberg joined the cast as a featured player and Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer were hired as writers. Now that the Digital Short era has possibly ended, what does it all mean? And where does this leave the future of "SNL"? Here, Ryan McGee from HitFix and myself obsessively break down the Digital Short era of "Saturday Night Live."
Mike:: So, Ryan, what is your opinion of the Digital Short era of "SNL" and is it for sure over?
Ryan: I think it's been crucial in keeping "SNL" in the cultural consciousness. »

'30 Rock' finale: Lizzing is what happens while you're busy making other plans
17 May 2012 10:11 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
One never does well to make plans in the 30 Rock universe. Let us consider last year’s season finale: All Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) wanted was to spend the summer wearing comfortable clothes, spending time outside, and learning Spanish. And technically she did all those things — when she was sentenced to don a jumpsuit and work on a community service trash crew with a bunch of Latino criminals.
On 30 Rock, the best laid plans are often the source of the most perverse pleasure. They reveal, to quote Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) in that same episode, “[the show's] version of normal.” And yet, »

Examining NBC’s Fall 2012 Schedule
16 May 2012 5:44 PM, PDT | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
I’m fascinated by the current state of NBC. Last among the four major networks. Kept from the very bottom by dynasty deals like the NFL and the Olympics. A shell of its former self still propping up Jay Leno for chuckles every night. But I don’t look at the wilted Peacock with schadenfreude, like many do. Instead, it’s with sadness and nostalgia. What happened?
As an ’80s kid, I grew up watching NBC’s Saturday morning block, “Saved by the Bell,” “Alf,” Cosby, and Will Smith before he was Will Smith. The national news in our house was delivered by Tom Brokaw. I watched Michael Jordan dominate the NBA on NBC. There’s an easy joke in here about “Diff’rent Strokes” and “Baywatch.” In high school and college, we’d gather around episodes of “Friends,” “Scrubs,” “The West Wing,” and other “must see TV.” Conan O »
