Watch: Vince Vaughn And Chris Parnell Ambush Conan
23 May 2012 7:32 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Tuesday night's "Conan" featured not one, but two surprise celebrity guests over the course of the episode. First, Chris Parnell dropped in on a Deon Cole sketch to explain some jokes, and a little later on, Vince Vaughn ambushed Conan mid-sentence to promote his new movie "The Watch."
After making his appearance, Parnell left the stage wordlessly, leaving Conan to wonder what was going on. But that didn't last long, because he was almost immediately interrupted by Vaughn's entrance.
For Vaughn's part, he said that Conan brings such an "entree" of comedy to his viewers every night, he thought he'd contribute some "tapas" by way of an exclusive trailer for the movie that also stars Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade.
It's safe to say that between these guys and scheduled guest Tracy Morgan, that audience got a pretty huge dose of comedy.

As Kristen Wiig leaves 'SNL,' Jason Sudeikis and Andy Samberg may be too - report
22 May 2012 6:58 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
There is report coming out of the New York Daily News that "Saturday Night Live" cast member Andy Samberg is definitely leaving the late-night sketch show and that Jason Sudeikis is on the fence, but might leave as well in the wake of Kristen Wiig's on-air goodbye this past Saturday (May 19).
An insider who attended an "after-after-party" for "SNL" says that Sudeikis could be overheard saying he "wasn't sure about staying about leaving." A different NBC source says that the buzz around the office Monday was that Sudeikis was angry "SNL" creator Lorne Michaels gave Kristen such a send-off, singling her out even though Sudeikis has been with the show just as long.
As for Samberg, a third source says, "Andy is definitely leaving. 'Lazy Sunday 2' was an homage to all his work, and that's why [former 'SNL' cast member] Chris Parnell came back."

SNL‘s Lazy Sunday 2 Brings Everything Full Circle With A Little Raven-Symone
21 May 2012 9:45 AM, PDT | BestWeekEver | See recent BestWeekEver news »
Seeing as how rumor has it that Andy Samberg is leaving SNL along with Kristen Wiig (and maybe Jason Sudeikis), I won’t harp as much as I would like to about the missed opportunity for a Raven-Symone cameo. It’s just that Samberg deserves the best, and that…that would have been the best. Other than that, Lazy Sunday 2 was the perfect way to round out the almost seven years since Chronicles of Narnia (Lazy Sunday) first aired. Chris Parnell‘s rage face, a shout out to sage butter, the lines “Sneak in a flask filled with sweet vermouth / We take more shots in the theater than John Wilkes Booth.” You know what…I take it back. This thing was still pretty Raven. It was the perfect amount of Raven, in fact. »

Watch SNL's "Lazy Sunday 2"
20 May 2012 4:43 PM, PDT | BuzzSugar | See recent BuzzSugar news »
"Lazy Sunday" was one of the skits that made Saturday Night Live's digital shorts wildly popular, so I'm kind of surprised it's taken this long for The Lonely Island to put out a sequel. No matter, though, because Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell teamed up yet again for this weekend's episode, with the aptly titled "Lazy Sunday 2." This time around, the guys are off to see Sister Act instead of The Chronicles of Narnia with some hilarious lyrics about the joys of late brunching and beyond. Watch it when you read more. »

'Saturday Night Live' recap: Jagger rocks out, and Kristen Wiig bids farewell
20 May 2012 9:19 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
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, »

Mike Ryan: 'SNL' Scorecard: Mick Jagger's Fine Farewell To Kristen Wiig
20 May 2012 8:34 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
There was no doubt about it: This was Kristen Wiig's night. Of the three cast members rumored to be leaving "Saturday Night Live," I think we can go ahead and remove the word "rumored" off of Wiig and Samberg, who said his goodbye with "Lazy Sunday 2." Jason Sudeikis, on the other hand ... well, he introduced the Foo Fighters? In other words: There were really no hints throughout a show that he had very little to do with concerning his future (unless you want to read into Jagger mentioning that "many of you are moving on" in the final sketch). So if it was his last show, that's a shame. On to what turned out to be a quite emotional final Scorecard of the season...
Sketch of the Night
"She's a Rainbow" (Mick Jagger, Kristen Wiig, Ensemble) A perfect ten. Honestly, that was the most touching, emotional sendoff that I've ever seen "SNL" pull off. »

Watch: 'Lazy Sunday' 2!
20 May 2012 8:28 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Along with saying goodbye to Kristen Wiig on this weekend's 37th "Saturday Night Live" finale, fans bore witness to another touchstone moment in the show's history: the return of "Lazy Sunday."
The very first digital short (Ok, it's technically the second, but the first one to take off) and one of the first viral YouTube videos that started it all, "Lazy Sunday" finally got a sequel of sorts by Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell dubbed "Lazy Sunday 2."
The rap starts out much like the first one did nearly seven years ago, with Samberg waking up late on a Sunday and asking "Parns" to hang out (only this time, it's "Sister Act" on Broadway instead of "The Chronicles Of Narnia" movie).
They're a little bit older (they sneak Vermouth into the theater instead of Mr. Pibb) and a little bit wiser (they're totally right about Magnolia) but other than that they're »

SNL With Mick Jagger (and a Farewell to Kristen Wiig): Best and Worst Skits?
20 May 2012 7:17 AM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
Kristen Wiig got an emotional send-off as she made her final curtain call during the season finale of Saturday Night Live. It’s just too bad that the episode as a whole didn’t provide a funnier last impression for the fabulous comedienne, Oscar-nominated earlier this year for her excellent Bridesmaids screenplay.
It didn’t help, of course, that host Mick Jagger struggled mightily from tepid opening monologue to a final sketch, where his attempt to pull off a “California” accent was so strained, the Rolling Stones frontman appeared to be on the brink of an aneyurism. And Jagger didn »

SNL’s Season Finale Digital Short Reprises ‘Lazy Sunday’
19 May 2012 9:22 PM, PDT | Mediaite - TV | See recent Mediaite - TV news »
It's a night for nostalgia — given that Andy Samberg may also leave the show after this year, it was fitting that the final "Digital Short" for the season was a reprisal of the well-known "Lazy Sunday" short from earlier in the sketch's history. The pop culture references were updated ("love you like McAdams loves Gosling" was changed to "like McAdams loves Channing") but the concept was the same, with Samberg and former cast member Chris Parnell doing all kinds of normal bro stuff like going to brunch and seeing Sister Act: The Musical. »

In Theaters: 'The Dictator' Overruns The 'Polisse,' So That 'Battleship' And 'What To Expect' May Cause Angry 'Hysteria' Among 'The Samaritan's
18 May 2012 1:20 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Dictators, hitmen, and navy officers – oh my! It’s a big weekend for the dudes, the professional advantages mentioned above notwithstanding, and we can expect screens clogged with manly men doing male things. Even the invention of a sex toy (by a man, duh) and male grooming get sweet turns in the theaters. If only the powerful sight of pregnant women was enough to combat the male-dominated market. Ah well, perhaps another weekend. Let’s jump into the testosterone-fueled fray, shall we?
Political satire, social comedy, and gross-out humor each take their turn in the Larry Charles-directed “The Dictator,” which opened Wednesday. Sacha Baron Cohen is Admiral General Aladeen, the universal and undisputed leader of the fictional North African nation of Wadiya. Running (or perhaps “scaring” is a better word choice here) a nation with a sexist, racist, iron fist, threatening nuclear warfare while hoarding oil reserves, Aladeen is »

Is Samberg Serving Up A 'Sunday' Sequel?
18 May 2012 6:55 AM, PDT | TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news »
Fans were surprised when last week's 100th Digital Short didn't include a nod to the video that started it all in 2005, Chronicles of Narnia (Lazy Sunday).
Video - SNL's Newbie Kills in Debut
Yes, while everything from D*ck In A Box to Lazer Cats snagged a second or two, the ode to slackers, Sundays and cinema went unmentioned. But perhaps that's because Andy Samberg was saving it for an even greater honor: a sequel!
Andy was spotted with Narnia co-star Chris Parnell filming a segment for Saturday's season finale outside Magnolia Bakery in NYC's West Village. And as everyone knows, that's where these two go when a mother f*cking snack attack takes over.
Video - Kristen Wiig Saves Best For Last
A sequel to the short that launched his career might also serve as a fitting bookend for his time on the show, since rumor has it Saturday's installment might be Andy's last as »
As 'SNL' Season Ends, Signs Of A Coming Shift
16 May 2012 12:19 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
New York — How can "Saturday Night Live" possibly replace (fill in the blank)?
How many times have we asked that question across nearly four decades?
"Impossible!" said some in 2006 when Tina Fey, Chris Parnell, Horatio Sanz and Rachel Dratch headed for the door, only to be followed two years later by her friend and "Weekend Update" co-host Amy Poehler.
But in their wake grew one of the most versatile, multi-threat casts in "SNL" history, one that firmly established its own "SNL" era. Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg, Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis all became cast members in the 2005-2006 season, joining a group that already included Seth Meyers, Fred Armisen and Kenan Thompson.
At the time, "SNL" creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels pronounced them "the wave of the future" and Fey likened herself to a senior seeing "exciting freshmen" arrive. But as this latest season of the sketch institution comes »

Hulu.com: Will Ferrell's 10 Best SNL Sketches Ever
14 May 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Will Ferrell's been gone from "SNL" for 10 years now. I don't know how we've kept it together since then, as Americans. He was the closest thing to this country's Kim Jong-Il: Everyone would cry in the street if he died, and sunglasses made him look like something in one of the saltwater tanks at Sea World.
Plus, he defined our moral fiber there for a few years. If there was a Will Ferrell Constitution, it would almost exclusively tell us that it's awesome to yell at helpless dogs, and that you desperately need to get off the damn shed. That was the turn of the century in a nutshell.
Well, thank god, Will Ferrell's back on Saturday hosting "SNL." We get a reminder of the good ol' days, when he could talk about the moon as a food product for five minutes and that would be considered a complete sketch. »

Interview: Chris Parnell Talks ‘SNL,’ ‘Archer’ & ‘Five-Year Engagement’
12 May 2012 12:10 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
The Avengers fever is still raging in theaters across the world. But if you’ve already seen Joss Whedon’s epic ensemble for the third time and are looking for a different entertainment flavor you may want to check out Chris Parnell in director Nicholas Stoller’s The Five-Year Engagement (the romantic comedy Stoller penned with writing partner Jason Segel).
The film takes a lighthearted look at what happens when a couple can’t seem to make it past the engagement and into a marriage. Parnell, the phenomenology talented comedian perhaps best known for his work on Saturday Night Live, Archer and Suburgatory plays the stay at home dad/hunting buddy of Jason Segel’s character Tom Solomon.
We had the chance to speak with Parnell recently about his work on Archer, the competition on Saturday Night Live, and learning to gut a deer for his ...

Will Ferrell and Jimmy Fallon fondly remember their 'SNL' low points -- Video
11 May 2012 7:55 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Maybe Jimmy Fallon should make a point of inviting an ex-Saturday Night Live cast member to every episode of Late Night. Whether he’s helping Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell perform a live version of “Lazy Sunday” or riffing about fake movies with Amy Poehler, Fallon thrives when he can bounce off of another Studio 8H veteran — and last night’s chat with Will Ferrell was no exception.
During the interview, Ferrell got big laughs by claiming that he’s serving as musical guest as well as host of SNL this week — and that Usher’s name is actually pronounced “oosher. »

Review: Sacha Baron Cohen's 'The Dictator' Rules With Comic Authority & Big Laughs
10 May 2012 7:11 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
At a first glance, Sacha Baron Cohen's "The Dictator" almost seems too easy. Another accent, another elaborate costume, more manscaping and this time with the softball target of despotic leaders -- it almost seemed as if the comic actor was pouring an ocean of fish into a tiny thimble and then pointing a comedy bazooka at it. And for the first fifteen to twenty minutes, "The Dictator" is kind of that obvious, and as a result, a bit uneven. But once the movie really finds its groove, Cohen's latest character creation easily stands up with his best work. Frequently laugh out loud funny, button pushing, and the rare comedy that actually gets more enjoyable as it goes on, "The Dictator" delivers the goods. All hail Admiral General Aladeen!

Blu-ray, DVD Release: 21 Jump Street
7 May 2012 10:04 AM, PDT | Disc Dish | See recent Disc Dish news »
Blu-ray & DVD Release Date: June 26, 2012
Price: DVD $30.99, Blu-ray $35.99
Studio: Sony Pictures Home Entertainment
Another in Hollywood’s line of movie adaptations of older TV shows, 21 Jump Street brings the high school detectives to the present, with Channing Tatum (Haywire) and Jonah Hill (Moneyball) heading back to school to solve a crime.
In high school, Tatum and Hill were the jock and geek, respectively, but in Police Academy, they discover they’re better if they join forces. The unlikely pair of underachievers are assigned to blend in at a high school to bring down a synthetic drug ring. Things get complicated, however, when they mix up their identities during registration then start to enjoy their new school experiences.
The satire got good reviews from critics and moviegoers, calling it affectionate to the 1980s television series (and it does have a fun twist at the end in that vein).
