What better way to get back at the network that had no faith in you than by making fun of it on its own airwaves. Last night, Tina finally got her revenge. That's right, if the network had no faith in her when she was just a writer at Saturday Night Live who wanted to take over Weekend Update, now is the time that she's turning the knife in their side. Just watch. "She's just a writer with zero performing experience." Good thing no one...

Tina Fey must bake cookies for the gods, because she has just hit their jackpot again. General Electric's announcement Thursday that it will sell NBC Universal to Comcast couldn't be more of a bonanza for Fey if she were getting half the proceeds.  

Meta moments run deep on NBC's "30 Rock": Tina Fey plays the chief comedy writer on a "Saturday Night Live"-esque show, and Alec Baldwin is her lovably paranoid boss Jack Donaghy, an exec at General Electric (which in real life, has sold NBC Universal to cable giant Comcast for billions).

"Saturday Night Live" combined Sarah Palin and the disaster movie "2012" last night to imagine a world in which Palin had won the presidency. They used footage from the '08 race and Palin's recently publicity blitz along with the trailer for the John Cusack post-apocalyptic action film to create a harrowing end-times scenario in which Glenn Beck is one step away from the presidency.

"Saturday Night Live" opened last night with a sketch lampooning Fox News's election coverage. Yes, the 2009 elections dominated cable news coverage consisted of exactly two gubernatorial races and two congressional seats, but that didn't stop Fox News from spinning it as a referendum on Obama's presidency. SNL's sketch focused on a panel lead by Greta Van Susteren (aptly played by Kristen Wiig) of three conservative voices and Joe Trippi...

While the first seven episodes of Saturday Night Live’s 35th season have been hit or miss, this past Saturday brought us one of the funnier moments from the iconic comedy series courtesy of Andy Samberg’s latest digital short.

On this weekend's Saturday Night Live, the digital short was a Twilight spin-off parody titled Firelight. What happens when a high school girl falls in love with a reanimated green jock and two worlds collide? This is probably one of the funniest Twilight parodies I've seen. Watch it now after the jump.  

Taylor Swift hosted SNL last night, and got in on the "Twilight" fun by teaming up with Andy Samberg and crew to bring us the world premiere of the "Firelight" trailer. In the sketch, Taylor falls in love with a Frankenstein (aka a "frank") despite the pressure from her normal world. WATCH: More on SNL  

David Letterman released his newest Sarah Palin top ten list last night revealing the biggest surprises in her book. This is not to be confused with a list Dave did six months ago called the "Top Ten Surprises In Sarah Palin's Memoir." Both lists are full of Palin shots, but the new one (below) takes on Sarah's relationships with Tina Fey and Todd. In addition to the top ten lists, Letterman has been running a series for weeks now on "Things...  

The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly has a piece on that comedy stalwart, Saturday Night Live, that almost reads like a surrender treaty.

Tina Fey may be one of the most popular girls around these days, but as she reminisced to David Letterman Wednesday, she was a virgin until she met her husband when she was 24. As Dave read a list of people who stayed virgins from a tabloid, like Brooke Shields (22) and Adriana Lima (27), Fey's name came up as having been 24. "[I] Couldn't give it away," Fey sighed. "That's just good, Christian values, or, being homely." She also talked...  

SNL's Weekend Update targeted Governor Paterson again last night, this time over his being asked to step aside in the 2010 governor's race.

This takes some balls. Joseph Gordon-Levitt did his first gig hosting Saturday Night Live this past weekend. He took the stage looking like a guy who could barely contain his excitement, and proceeded to launch into a recreation of one of the most famous song and dance numbers from any film musical: Donald O'Connor's 'Make 'em Laugh' from Singin' in the Rain. And he nailed it! OK, so 'Make 'em Laugh' is pretty much ripped off wholesale from...  

Tina Fey hosted the Ad Council's dinner the other night, where she made NBC jokes ("I really believe that if everyone in this room would watch NBC for one night ... then that would be a 40 percent increase") and even did a brief Sarah Palin impression ("all of my ideas are in these glass things!," meaning the teleprompter glass). It's a little weird to see Tina do award-show-host one-liners, but once you get used to it it's pretty funny...  

At 39, Tina Fey is more stylish and sexy than her '30 Rock' character Liz Lemon, who she says is based on an old version of herself--but that's not the result of Botox or yoga. Fey covers the November issue of Harper's Bazaar and inside she poses for a pretty photo shoot and gives some funny interview: On the perils of Botox: "You can point any kind of laser at my face, but I don't think Botox is for me. I think it is bad. People who have...  

Jason Gordon-Levitt hosted Saturday Night Live last night and the Dave Matthews band was the musical guest. It was better than last week's episode with January Jones, but the writing on this show is just a disaster without Tina Fey. Jason Gordon-Levitt is very talented, however. In this skit, Andy Samberg is the host of a show called The Mellow Show. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Jason Mraz, Bill Hader plays Dave Matthews and Dave Matthews does...  

It's been a year since Tina Fey's spot-on version of Sarah Palin hit the small screen on Saturday Night Live, and now word is she's bringing it back this season... maybe. The actress talked to Harper's Bazaar, whose November cover she graces, and hinted that the character would be making a comeback. This is, presumably, timed with Palin's autobiography that is soon to hit the shelves, titled Going Rogue (of which there will no longer be an...

Hmm. It's not a great episode of SNL Weekend Update Thursday when the funniest thing in it was a Hall and Oates song about the healthcare system. Actually, I might still have found that the funniest thing even if the episode was otherwise pretty solid. It just felt like a ton of good opportunities were missed this episode (no cold opener, or Amy Poehler, by the way).  For instance, a joke about Sarah Palin finishing her memoirs and the best...

In an exclusive interview with NY1, Governor Paterson discussed his 2010 prospects and revealed that he wouldn't mind appearing on Saturday Night Live, which has skewered him repeatedly.

Because clearly that humor that they had when they first had Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi... has gone...  

The obnoxious Tina Fey, at the "Ad Council Annual Dinner" repeated the only shtick she is known for and showed her gutter-level sense of "humor". Tina Fey: "Mrs. Palin and I continue to have so much in common," - "They recently made a porn movie about Sarah Palin and then this same adult actress, Lisa Ann, played me in a porn parody of '30 Rock' ... And weirdly of the three of us, Lisa Ann knows the most about foreign policy."  

Andy Samberg has been on a boat, and rapped about a lazy Sunday. His latest SNL Digital Short may not be on par with those two, but it's worth watching. If you're over 18 and have a bizarre sense of humor, that is.

Only Reba is actually played by SNL's Kenan Thompson, and Andy seems to be the...

(Nov. 23) -- People are still buzzing about "Saturday Night Live's" China news conference sketch that skewered President Obama.

I guess SNL is funny and all, but the mention of Tina Fey in the rules section reminded me that I saw Alec Baldwin in Central Park today.

And that turtle guy, he’s still funny. #saturdaynightlive Nesbiteme  

This past weekend, SNL goofed on the 2012 disaster film by mocking up a fake movie trailer to make the film's title be about Sarah Palin running for president with Glenn Beck as vice-president. I can't find a clip online, but it was amusing. Anyway, today Politico writes:

Nov. 23) -- It's always been a good sign for "Saturday Night Live" when people are still talking about the show on Monday morning. That's happening more often now that the venerable comedy program is sharpening its satire of President Barack Obama.

Every week we can be guaranteed that Tina Fey and the people at 30 Rock will make fun of NBC in some way, whether it's product placement or The Jay Leno Show or last night's line about the green NBC peacock in the corner of the screen. Fey also isn't shy about dumping on NBC when she's away from the show either. The other night she gave a speech at an Ad Council meeting at the Waldorf in New York. Her barbs were mostly about NBC's ratings...  

This weekend's horrible Saturday Night Live featured another takeoff on the Kathie Lee Gifford/Hoda Kotb hour of Today and the two hosts talked about it on their show. Hoda thought it was funny (and so did the crew) and that Kristen Wiig can sing. Kathie Lee didn't like it (well, she liked the part about Hoda).

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Since its debut on October 11, 1975, "Saturday Night Live" has spoofed, ridiculed and hammered presidents and other political figures without regard to political affiliation or any other sensitivities.

People started looking at her in a different light, and she was...

When we started hearing about the new Steve Carell-Tina Fey comedy Date Night earlier this year, I kind of pictured a witty, domestic comedy of errors.

I was under the impression that Date Night would have stars Steve Carell and Tina Fey as a married couple who undergo a series of comic mishaps as they try to have a nice night out on the town-a kind of quasi-remake of The Out-of-Towners.  But as the first trailer shows us, Date Night is [...]  

When you're a married couple mired in routine, sometimes you have to shake it up.

But the evening takes a bad turn when thugs try to kill them for a crime they didn't commit. Hilarity will ensue of course and lessons will be...  

Sometimes there's a down side to being considered a comedic genius. Right now in the world of TV comedy, Tina Fey and Steve Carell are the 'Prom Queen and King', and with all that popularity comes the price of raised expectations.

So now that the first trailer has arrived (via Apple), reactions have been...  

I freaked out a little (OK a lot) when it was announced that Tina Fey and Steve Carell would play a married couple in the comedy Date Night. Well, the trailer is here, and I'm still enthusiastic about it - though I wasn't expecting it to be so action-adventure-y. The movie revolves around a single night out for typically bored (but atypically hilarious) married couple Claire and Phil Foster. When they take another couple's dinner reservation...  

While we remain confident that the duo of Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin will do a perfectly respectable (if not quite Jackmanesque) job of hosting the Oscars, Entertainment Weekly got Adam Shankman to admit that they had somewhat advanced discussions with Tina Fey about co-hosting the gig.

We’ve endowed them with history that you then have to go back and revisit.”Here, Tina Fey takes us through her 10 favorite moments from 30 Rock.  

My friends, I ran into Sarah Palin a week or so ago. Well, not the Sarah Palin — and not comedian Tina Fey, either. Temporarily away from my mission work and visiting old friends at an Irish parish, I was enjoying the (rare) sunshine after Mass, greeting parishioners as they left church, when I noticed a young mother pushing her daughter in a baby carriage. Her child — like all children — was radiant to me, with a shock of orange hair and a...  

When we woke up this morning, we had no idea that we'd be spending the majority of our day writing about movie trailers. Alas, such is life; for that, we humbly apologize. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, it's time to watch the trailer for Date Night, the highly anticipated big-screen coupling of the two shiniest staples of NBC's Thursday-night lineup, Steve Carell and Tina Fey. And you know what? If we're being honest with you...  

Here's a shocker: something from Sarah Palin's memoir that hasn't been disputed. Saturday Night Live's Seth Meyers confirmed a claim made by the former Republican VP candidate that she asked the writers to remove a rather ribald joke from Amy Poehler's rap performance that referenced the phrase "drill, baby, drill" during her appearance on the show last year. The full joke went, "When we're in Wascilla (sic), it's chill, baby, chilla/In the...  

CHINESE "LEADER": "I'M NOTICING EACH OF YOUR PLANS TO SAVE MONEY INVOLVES SPENDING EVEN MORE MONEY." For the second time in two months, Saturday Night Live performed a skit mocking President Obama. Last month's SNL skit featured the president's lack of accomplishments. The most recent Obama skit ridiculed specific Obama policies such as "Cash for Clunkers," huge deficit spending, debt owed to the Chinese, and the stimulus plan's lack of...  

Via PopEater if that music thing doesn’t work out, the Black Eyed Peas can always fall back on a career in comedy.

So Tina Fey and Steve Carell did a nice little romantic comedy — or so we thought. Just your average couple goes out for a night on the town then hilarity ensues story — or so we though. And in the end love wins out because that’s how these movies always end — or so we thought. But instead, the trailer for the duo’s new movie Date Night is less When Harry Met Sally and more When Harry Met Sally and Accidentally Landed in a Jackie Chan...

During NBC’s four new promos for Saturday Night Live, January Jones says her own first name about 10 different ways, revealing skills much more advanced than her efforts at beer pong.

Those entitled Wall Street types at Goldman Sachs are apparently oblivious to the fact that they’re having some PR issues of late—either that, or they don’t really care.

Taylor Swift did a fantastic job with her opening monologue on Saturday Night Live. She poked fun at herself, at Kanye West, Joe Jonas (yes, he's the Joe that broke up with her by telephone) and even the rumors that she's dating Taylor Lautner.

Good satire never dies. While months ago comedian Tina Fey vowed to deep six her celebrated Sarah Palin impersonation, now she says it's likely bound for a resurrection. The Palin wig will soon will soon have to "come out of the closet," she vowed to Harper's Bazaar. The hook? The soon-to-come publication of Palin's quickly written autobiography "Going Rogue." Fey also talked to the fashion magazine about her own famous glasses. She insists...

January Jones hosted Saturday Night Live last night and unfortunately it was pretty much a disaster. The writers had no idea what to do with January --- they kept putting her in historical skits. Yes, she plays Betty Draper on Mad Men and yes she looks like Grace Kelly. But they should have given her some room to try something else out. This skit, in which January plays Grace Kelly during the filming of Hitchcock's classic film Rear Window may...

The pickings are apparently so slim in the linguistics field that three University of Wisconsin-Madison linguists took on the conundrum of Sarah Palin's speech patterns.

I saw this on Washington Journal this morning (or was it C-Span Newsmakers?) either way they showed this from last night's episode of SNL.

Tina Fey talks with Access about who will be returning for “30 Rock’s” fourth season and gives a hint about how their story lines will play out. Plus, will Justin Timberlake be joining the cast? And with whom will Tina’s character be hooking up?

As the most recurring hosts of "Saturday Night Live," both Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin have learned something about entertaining a live TV audience. Martin, who hosted "SNL" a record 14 times in its 31 seasons, has hosted the Oscars twice before, in 2001 and 2003, with a droll, well-received approach.  Baldwin, a three time Emmy winner for his role on "30 Rock," has hosted "SNL" 13 times but has never hosted the Oscars (he has lost one...  

Seth Meyers worked solo on the desk for the entirety of "SNL Weekend Update Thursday" this week for the first time this season, meaning Amy Poehler was seen only in her own sitcom "Parks & Recreation." Unlike the mother show "Saturday Night Live" the half hour Thursday edition doesn't run credits or even say who's part of the ensemble. But it's clear it's not quite everybody from "SNL." Kristen Wiig is still about the only female; neither of...  

From huffingtonpost.com: The Lonely Island team premiered a new SNL digital short last night called “On the Ground,” which featured Andy Samberg throwing increasingly ridiculous things…on the ground. Host Ryan Reynolds, along with surprise guest Elijah Wood, got in on the fun by tasing the comedian after he threw their dinner on the ground.  

Last night, Saturday Night Live did a re-run of the fairly interesting Ryan Reynolds-hosted episode from earlier this month. In it was a skit with musical performer Lady Gaga and a Madonna cameo. But they re-aired the funnier, racier version. (more…)  

You betcha! Sarah Palin is back in the spotlight with the release of her new book "Going Rogue" and her appearance on "Oprah" today, but we here on the comedy page are most curious about whether or not this resurgence will warrant an ...  

Last night, SNL newbie Jenny Slate was put in the unenviable position of picking up a character created by Michaela Watkins, a one-season castmember who was let go earlier this year. Watkins had carved out a niche for herself on the show with a spot-on impersonation of Today show anchor Hoda Kotb—the straight woman to  

NEW YORK - It's not quite the warm and fuzzy crowd one imagines around most Christmas trees, but Barneys New York is celebrating the holidays with a motley crew that includes Roseanne Roseannadanna, the Church Lady, Father Guido Sarducci and Wayne and Garth.  

Taylor Swift pulled double duty for Saturday Night Live this weekend as both the host and musical guest. After her cute musical monologue (where she called out Kanye and Taylor Lautner), Swift did her best Bella Swan in a Twilight spoof and poked fun at celebs like Kate Gosselin and Shakira. When the show was over, Swift did a quick backstage interview with Jason Sudeikis. The jokes didn't end with the show - check out the video below where...  

For those who missed it (or weren't on the east coast) on Saturday night, new SNLer Jenny Slate managed to do something in her first-ever sketch that hadn't been accomplished on the show in 28 years: she let loose with an f-bomb. In the sketch, Slate and Kristin Wiig play biker chicks, and instead of saying "friggin'" or "freakin'" or any of the other substitutes they were supposed to use, Slate actually uttered the words "and I fuckin' love...  

NEW YORK — It's not quite the warm and fuzzy crowd one imagines around most Christmas trees, but Barneys New York is celebrating the holidays with a motley crew that includes Roseanne Roseannadanna, the Church Lady, Father Guido Sarducci and Wayne and Garth.  

There's an exciting rumor going around comedy circles today: that well-regarded comedian Jessi Klein, 34, has been hired (mid-season!) on the writing staff at SNL. Could the tide be turning for women writers in late night? The addition of Klein brings the number of women on the show's writing staff (not including performers, who also write) to at least three (update: a source claims the new total is six), and while it's not totally unheard of...

An instant classic from Season 31 of Saturday Night Live (2005–2006). Bill Hader as Vincent Price, hosting a Thanksgiving special that, naturally, would work better as a Halloween special. Worth watching again, if you've seen it. Video, after the jump....  

Last night, Saturday Night Live did a re-run of the fairly interesting Ryan Reynolds-hosted episode from earlier this month. In it was a skit with musical performer Lady Gaga and a Madonna cameo. But they re-aired the funnier, racier version. The interesting thing about this is that Saturday Night Live by no means has to edit the episode to contain the rehearsal footage skit; they could've just run the same episode and be fine. You have to...  

No one really knows what to expect of Taylor Swift hosting "Saturday Night Live" (Nov.6).Let's be honest, the country singer is known for her tales of teen woes put to song, as opposed to comedy, so that's what the performer relied on in her opening monologue, appropriately titled "Monologue Song (La La La)."Swift strummed the guitar while not giving a shout out to former beau Joe Jonas, or as she sang, "She's fine, ha ha." Swift even went so...  

Ryan Reynolds looked hot in his vest and jeans leaving SNL after hosting this Saturday's episode in NYC. He was the host you were most excited to see and his wife Scarlett Johansson ended up popping in for a surprise cameo. The notoriously private couple performed a skit with Fred Armisen, and it was especially sweet when Ryan called her "incredible" and the two shared a high five at the end of the show - video after the jump. Scarlett came...
