'Saturday Night Live': Amy Poehler is the best at everything, even 'Weekend Update'

just now | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

Back in the day, Amy Poehler was a necessary and hilarious part of the "Weekend Update" segments on "Saturday Night Live." We got a bittersweet reminder of this during the current season's finale when Poehler joined Seth Meyers for the fake news bit.

Whatever you think about the standard quality of "Weekend Update" these days, it's pretty hard to deny that Amy Poehler was a bright spot in an otherwise fairly dull few minutes of television. The finale's "Update" seems to have been pretty much a farewell for Meyers and Bill Hader. After all, it wasn't too long into the segment when all vague semblances of sanity disappeared, only to be replaced by a fever-dream version of "The Graduate" in which Meyers interrupted Stefon's wedding -- with Alf, Gizmo and other oddities in attendance.

Sure, it was kind of funny, in a surreal sort of way. But could it compare »

Candice Glover and Vampire Weekend led this week's Music Power Rankings

59 minutes ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

1. Candice Glover: She becomes the 12th “American Idol” champion and the first female since 2006. We’re not sure how much the crown matters anymore, but we raise a glass anyway. 2. Daft Punk: “Random Access Memories,” which comes out May 21, could sell as much as 300,000 in its first week in the U.S., according to Billboard. That’s twice as much as its last studio album in 2005. 3. Vampire Weekend: First single “Diane Young” is shaping up to be their biggest hit yet, thanks to radio and the band’s exposure on “Saturday Night Live.”  Once bitten... 4. “The Great »

Ben Affleck sends up 'Argo' and his Best Picture Oscar acceptance speech on SNL

1 hour ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

You didn't think "Argo" and its Oscar run was through with you yet, did you? Tonight on "Saturday Night Live," last year's golden boy Ben Affleck took up hosting duties for the fifth time in his career, bringing the 38th season of the show to a close and putting a big bow on the 2012-2013 Oscar season. Things got started with an appearance by Affleck's wife, Jennifer Garner, and some self-ribbing over his Best Picture acceptance speech. "I want to thank you for working on our marriage for ten Christmases," he said on the stage of the Dolby Theatre in February. »

SNL’s Al Sharpton Bumbles His Way Through Coverage Of Obama’s ‘Uhrs’ Scandal

2 hours ago | Mediaite - TV | See recent Mediaite - TV news »

Saturday Night Live's season finale cold open took on MSNBC's Al Sharpton attempting to cover the ongoing scandal involving the IRS intentionally targeting tea party organizations for additional scrutiny. As the show's version of Sharpton is wont to do, the MSNBC host bumbled and stumbled through a disorganized segment full of incorrect pronunciations, baffling chart graphs, and non-sequitur folksy anecdotes. »

Recap: 'Saturday Night Live' – Ben Affleck And Kanye West

2 hours ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

We’re here at the end of another season of “Saturday Night Live,” and just like last season, there are changes afoot. This will be Bill Hader’s last show. Seth Meyers will leave the show at the end of the calendar year in order to take over the post-“The Tonight Show” slot. Both Fred Armisen and Jason Sudeikis are rumored to also be leaving? To which I say: awesome. That doesn’t take away anything from what these four have brought to the table. But change is the lifeblood of the show, and no single person is ever truly irreplaceable. In fact, having »

'SNL': Ben Affleck Mocks Oscars Speech: 'How I Wish I had Ended' it

3 hours ago | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »

Ben Affleck used his Saturday Night Live opening monologue to tackle his other big live TV moment of the year. During his acceptance speech for Argo's best picture win, Affleck left viewers scratching their heads when he thanked wife Jennifer Garner by waxing philosophical about how much "work" their marriage is. Photos: 12 'SNL' Sketches Made Into Movies “I thanked my wife while saying the essence of marriage is work," Affleck said on SNL. "Some uncharitable souls on the Internet took that to mean our marriage is some kind of manual labor. That's not it. You define what’s important

Kanye's Going With 'Yeezus'

6 hours ago | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Fresh off debuting a new music video via 66 guerrilla style projections shown on buildings all around the world, Kanye West has some more news to share with the music-listening community. West's sixth studio album will be released June 18 (as previously hinted in West's tweet) and be titled "Yeezus."

Rap-Up confirmed the news on Saturday. West is due to perform two songs on "Saturday Night Live," and sources tell The Huffington Post that he'll debut a previously unheard song as part of the show.

This isn't the first time "Yeezus" has been tossed around. Kid Cudi (formerly signed to Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music label) coined the term well over a year ago (a tip of the hat to Complex for the find). West also famously posed for a Rolling Stone cover wearing a crown of thorns.

Ben Affleck hosts tonight's 'Saturday Night Live' finale: Talk about it here!

7 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

There are so many talking points for SNL’s 38th season finale that I hardly know where to begin! Maybe it’ll help to organize them as a list:

1. Tonight marks Ben Affleck’s fifth time hosting Saturday Night Live, which grants him membership to SNL’s storied Five-Timers Club. Usually, a moment like this would occasion a big, cameo-stuffed sketch featuring veteran hosts like Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. But SNL just gave us a cameo-stuffed Five Timer’s Club sketch when Justin Timberlake hosted in March — and it’s way too soon to repeat that same conceit. So »

Kanye West had a novel idea to debut his new single, New Slaves: He projected it on walls at 66 locations in North America, Europe, and Australia.

West's website supplies a map detailing where exactly the song played, and there's video of the best New York projections below. Between this thing and his SNL appearance Saturday, it's safe to say that this is a big 'Ye-ekend.In Brooklyn: At the Prada store: At Columbus Circle: And so on. »

Happy Birthday, Tina Fey!

14 hours ago | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Happy birthday, Tina Fey! May 18 marks the 43rd birthday of the beloved actress, writer, and comedian.

While Fey may be best known for her work on "Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock," one of her most celebrated projects is the 2004 film, "Mean Girls." The funny woman wrote the screenplay for the movie, adapting Rosalind Wiseman's "Queen Bees and Wannabes" for the big screen, and starring as high school teacher Ms. Sharon Norbury in the film. To celebrate Fey's 43rd birthday we've collected 10 quotes from her "Mean Girls" script.

"Get in loser, we're going shopping."

"Gretchen Wieners knows everybody's business, she knows everything about everyone." "That's why her hair is so big, it's full of secrets."

"Did you have an awesome time? Did you drink awesome shooters, listen to awesome music, and then just sit around and soak up each others awesomeness?"

"On Wednesdays, we wear pink."

First Dibs: Why Did Emma Watson’s Bling Ring Make Paris Hilton Cry?

17 hours ago | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »

What’s Bill Hader going to do after Saturday Night Live? Is Amy Adams revealing a bit too much skin in her new flick? Will Star Trek Into Darkness beat down Iron Man 3 at the box office?

Paris Hilton was one of the real-life celebrities targeted by the now infamous “Bling Ring”, and when she saw Emma Waston‘s new film about the events, she burst into tears. “It’s so violating. It just made me really angry and upset, and when I see these kids, I want to, like, slap them.” [New York Magazine] Bill Hader is leaving Saturday Night Live after tonight’s season finale and doubts he’ll do impressions or spearhead a Stefon movie in the future.

This Week On Stage: Sigourney and Co. extend, Billy Crystal Back to Broadway

The Trip to Bountiful has announced an extension to Sept. 1, and Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike has announced it will extend several more weeks to July 28 (as star Sigourney Weaver amusingly pointed out: “the audience’s response is so enthusiastic—and, also, we need the money.”).
