Kanye West: 'Yeezus' walks on 'SNL'Two "Saturday Night Live" sets, an Instagram and 66 projector images later, we now have a better picture of what's to come on Kanye West's anticipated new album. As promised, the rapper - not to be confused with a celebrity - didn't take part in any of the skits for "SNL's" season finale/swan song for cast member Bill Hader. But he didn't need to - over the course of two songs, West still left a lasting impression. 'SNL' star goes on 'Ellen' as ... EllenThanks to "Saturday Night Live's" Kate McKinnon, Wednesday's "Ellen" had twice as much DeGeneres. The "SNL" comedian put on an Ellen-approved blond wig, sweater and jeans, and came back out on the set as the cheery host's double. McKinnon's impersonated Ellen before, such as in the "SNL" skit that also had Anne Hathaway taking a stab at playing Katie Holmes: 'SNL' parodies 'Accidental Racist': Racism's cured!This week's must-share "Saturday Night Live" clip was undoubtedly the sketch comedy's spoof on the gun control debate: But we're also still giggling over its takedown of the controversy LL Cool J and Brad Paisley caused with their country-meets-hip-hop collaboration, "Accidental Racist." Melissa McCarthy shows how not to walk in heelsEveryone laughed as Melissa McCarthy took a hard fall on "Saturday Night Live" this weekend - actually, make that "falls" - but thankfully she was in on the joke. The comedic star once again proved to be one of "Saturday Night Live's" top hosts, opening the show with a monologue that prominently featured a pair of ridiculously high heels that parodied the footwear the typical actress is expected to don for public appearances. Justin Timberlake delivers 'SNL' ratings highNo wonder "Saturday Night Live" keeps asking Justin Timberlake to return. The 32-year-old pop star/actor hosted the sketch comedy show for the fifth time on Saturday, and delivered "SNL's" highest ratings in 14 months. Christoph Waltz hosts 'SNL': What's the verdict?Christoph Waltz is an award-winning actor and a nominee at this weekend's Oscar ceremony, but all of that talent couldn't guarantee that he'd be a standout host of "Saturday Night Live." As it turns out, when the "Django Unchained" star took over the hosting spot for the first time this weekend, he once again proved himself to be a strong supporting player, even if his overall appearance was hit or miss. |
