'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, »

'Suburgatory' Season 2 spoilers from creator Emily Kapnek: George and Dallas and Tessa's mom?

16 May 2012 9:42 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

"Suburgatory" has been renewed for Season 2 and Zap2it got a chance to chat with creator Emily Kapnek about what's coming. Kapnek was surprisingly open about what the writers have planned, including a hook up for George (Jeremy Sisto) and Dallas (Cheryl Hines), and Tessa's (Jane Levy) mother playing a prominent role.

Kapnek says she's looking for the perfect woman to play Tessa's mom and she didn't want to rush by doing it in the first season. "When we come back, we'll probably do a bit of a leap ahead and do some flashback stuff to how that plays out."

She also tells us that, though it won't be a joint custody thing, Tessa will be spending some time with her mom. George has a bit of empty nest syndrome, right about the same time that Dallas does. "This could set the stage for some really fun stuff."

Ana Gasteyer talks 'Suburgatory' season finale, takes EW Pop Culture Personality Test

16 May 2012 7:26 AM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »

Mother’s Day might have been last Sunday, but the people of Chatswin are celebrating it on tonight’s season finale of Suburgatory. And since the ABC sitcom is set in the suburbs, Mother’s Day is a big deal that, rather fittingly, is wrapped into a big contest amongst the town’s wacky constellation of characters. “It’s a full-town competition to prove whose mother is loved the most,” explains star Ana Gasteyer, who recently was upped from recurring to series regular for playing quirky, perfection-obsessed mother Sheila Shay. “There’s this totally asinine situation, with just days and »

Mike Ryan: 'SNL' Scorecard: Will Ferrell Is Not A Belieber

13 May 2012 8:47 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »

The last time Will Ferrell hosted "Saturday Night Live," the show (and that season) ended with an epic sing-along of Bill Joel's "Goodnight Saigon." Last night's offering did not have that same monumental feel to it -- even though there were guest appearances by Will Forte, Ana Gasteyer, Liam Neeson, Justin Bieber, Michael Bolton, Natalie Portman, Jon Hamm and Justin Timberlake. There were so many guest stars, it felt, at times, like the actual cast had been swept under the rug. Heck, at times, it felt like Ferrell himself was put on the back burner. Since I can't think of a third metaphor for "set aside," let's just move along to this season's penultimate Scorecard.

Sketch of the Night

"Digital Short: 100th Digital Short" (Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, Justin Beiber, Kene Thompson, Justin Timberlake, Natalie Portman, Michael Bolton, Usher, Jon Hamm, Will Ferrell) Poor Akiva Schaffer has been replaced by Justin Bieber. »

'Saturday Night Live' recap: Welcome to Will Ferrell's Cameo-fest 2012

13 May 2012 8:28 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Children, gather ’round, and I’ll tell you a tale of the long-long ago — when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and every episode of SNL wasn’t stuffed to the gills with celebrity cameos. Today, these amusing guest appearances are an essential part of Saturday Night Live’s DNA — especially when a former cast member returns as host.

So it’s no surprise that last night’s Will Ferrell-led episode featured surprise appearances by Ana Gasteyer and Will Forte, as well as Will Ferrell’s adorable mom and Battleship star Liam Neeson. But a special, 100th anniversary Digital Short was »

SNL Celebrates Will Ferrell's Return, 100th Digital Short

13 May 2012 8:06 AM, PDT | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »

Saturday Night Live vet Will Ferrell stopped by to host for the third time with a little help from his friends, including fellow alums Ana Gasteyer (the Bobbie to his Marty Culp) and Will Forte.

Ferrell kicked things off by reprising his most famous impersonation — of former President George W. Bush. Turns out, George got a little lost about three and a half years ago and ended up moving into Vice President's Joe Biden's closet. Thankfully, George was there to...

SNL With Will Ferrell: Best and Worst Skits

13 May 2012 5:35 AM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »

This season of Saturday Night Live has been full of reunions. Unfortunately, one of the most anticipated — the return of three-time host Will Ferrell — didn’t take Studio 8H by storm like previous SNL grads Jimmy Fallon and Maya Rudolph. But while Ferrell’s opening monologue and a number of skits failed to highlight his usual comedic style, we did, however, see him bring back a few favorite characters and surprise guests. Here are my picks for best and worst of the night.

Best: Cold Open

To kick off the night, Ferrell reprised his role of George W. Bush in »

Will Ferrell hosts tonight's 'Saturday Night Live': Talk about it here!

12 May 2012 3:00 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Will Ferrell doesn’t need to do much to win over Saturday Night Live’s audience. If he appears dressed as Alex Trebek, they’ll be eating out of his hand. If he so much as says the word “cowbell,” the cheers will be deafening. So on tonight’s show, will Ferrell simply break out his George W. Bush, bring back Rachel Dratch for another “Lovers” sketch, do a few “Gou-let”s for good measure, and call it a night? Or will he — and the rest of SNL’s cast — reject retreads of old sketches in favor of new material? »

Ana Gasteyer leaps from guest to supporting on 'Suburgatory' [Video]

3 May 2012 4:48 PM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »

What started as a guest role on the new ABC comedy series "Suburgatory," quickly became a regular part for Ana Gasteyer. Producers were so pleased with her perfectionistic next-door neighbor Sheila Shay, she has had an increasing presence on the show throughout this season. The laffer centers on George Altman (Jeremy Sisto) who moves his teen daughter Tessa (Jane Levy) to the suburbs away from the big bad city. Their new neighbors are the Shays, with Gasteyer's former "Saturday Night Live" co-star Chris Parnell as her husband plus Allie Grant and Parker Young as their children. In a video chat with senior editors Rob Licuria and Chris Beachum, Gasteyer said, "The show has quite a bit of heart and quite a bit of tenderness to it, which for a half-hour comedy is actually what makes it such a fun environment to work in because it's all not just like a laugh box. »

Suburgatory 1.20 "Hear No Evil" Review

2 May 2012 10:09 PM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »

Suburgatory 1.20 "Hear No Evil" Review

The end of the season stretch can be pretty influential on the path of a freshman show like Suburgatory. By the time you get to the final few installments of your debut season, you tend to know what works, what doesn't work, and what seeds need to be planted before next season. It's a lot of information to have to sort through, but if you fumble badly enough, it can leave a sour taste in the mouth of your audience, a taste that could take an entire summer hiatus to get over.

"Hear No Evil" wasn't exactly a fumble, stumble, or bumble, but it felt like a step back from the show's recent creative hot streak. A typical episode of Suburgatory has a whole lot going on, all bright colors and loud noises, but there was just a bit too much here, too many plots »

Smash Troublemaker Looks Ahead to Season 2: 'Ellis Is Probably Going to Be Even More Hated!'

22 April 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »

You read that headline correctly. Though Smash‘s Ellis has let his ambition lead him to lurk behind many a doorway and snitch when given most any opportunity, his shiftiest shenanigans are yet to come.

During a visit to TVLine’s Times Square offices — straight upstairs from where many a location scene of NBC’s musical drama is filmed – Jaime Cepero shared his take on the not-so-warm welcome Ellis received, cleared the air on the schemer’s sexuality and revealed why it’s rather unlikely his character will meet a grisly demise (contrary to the haters’ wishes).

Last Night on Late Night: Aziz Ansari Impersonated D.J. Potus

29 March 2012 12:04 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

Last night on late night, Ron Burgundy's announcement of an Anchorman sequel was followed up with Aziz Ansari's impersonation of D.J. Potus, aka President Obama, who was wisecracking over the Roots and the Salahis backstage at a fund-raiser earlier this month. Plus: Rainn Wilson enacted a conversation between Texans and Canadians, whose friendliness would stop at the mention of socialized healthcare: "I'm gonna have to shoot you now," Wilson drawled in Texan tongue, "Okay, go ahead and shoot me. That's fine, I get it, sure," the Canadian would respond. Also, Ana Gasteyer and Jimmy Fallon belted out an impassioned Bee Gees duet. Watch our compilation to see what you missed. »

Second poster for the That's My Boy comedy, starring starring Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Leighton Meester.

For that, I'll give it a whirl. »

28 February 2012 3:53 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Paramount has dominated the last three Octobers with its Paranormal Activity films, and now it looks like the studio will also be taking out a Fun Size insurance policy to guarantee your Halloween dollars.

Fun Size stars Thomas Middleditch ("Funny or Die Presents..."), Riki Lindhome (Last House on the Left), Thomas McDonell (Dark Shadows, Prom), Osric Chau (2012), Jackson Nicoll (The Fighter), Johnny Knoxville (Jackass), Ana Gasteyer, Josh Pence, Holmes Osborne, James Pumphrey, Willam Belli, Peter Navy Tuiasosopo, Victoria Justice, Thomas Mann, and Jane Levy and is described as a cross between Superbad and Adventures in Babysitting on Halloween night.

The comedic script, by "Colbert Report" scribe Max Werner, centers on a sarcastic teenage girl (Justice) who is forced to take her little brother trick-or-treating on Halloween, then loses him »
