Saturday Night Live

Find out what happened to proposed movies for Stefon, Hans and Franz, Dieter and other once beloved recurring 'SNL' sketches.

The NY Times has an excellent profile of Jack Handey, the former 'SNL' writer who created the absurdly hilarious 'Deep Thoughts' series. Anyone who watched 'SNL' during the '90s will remember these brief non-sequiturs that aired between sketches. Unlike most of what's on 'SNL,' 'Deep Thoughts' didn't rely on topical references and therefore doesn't feel dated decades later.

As bland as Justin Bieber's performance on 'Saturday Night Live' was, just think, it could've been worse.

Kevin Hart hosted 'Saturday Night Live' this weekend. Here he is in a pretty good send-up of 'The Walking Dead.' It seems as though not seeming racist is more important for the survivors then succumbing to a zombie apocalypse. Except for Carl...

Perhaps unintentionally, it looked as if there was a theme during last night's 'Saturday Night Live' (featuring Christoph Waltz as host). Important etiquette lessons crept into at least two sketches, both of which featured a woman whose behavior ruins a party.

Last night's 'Weekend Update' featured an eye witness to the recent meteor crash in Russia. In the beginning, Povlatsky (played by 'SNL' cast member Kate McKinnon) showed up to talk merely of the crash, but she ended up sharing even more about the poor quality of life amongst females in her native Mother Russia.

One of the most talked about topics this past week was the stranded Carnival cruise ship that found itself simply floating along in the ocean without power, sanity, and toilets. Naturally, the story eventually found itself on the floor of studio 8H in Rockefeller Plaza -- home of 'Saturday Night Live.'

If only this were real! We sure wouldn't mind seeing it, even if it clocked in at three hours plus, like "Django."

This past Saturday had Justin Bieber filling the host spot of 'Saturday Night LIve.' The day before he took to the stage, Bieber decided to show some appreciation to the man who made it possible -- Lauren Michaels. Wait, who?

Justin Bieber made his 'Saturday Night Live' debut last night as the host/musical guest, and in one sketch the show offered up a parody of the popular 70's hit, 'Grease'... with a little twist.

Justin Bieber got a chance to test his improv chops last night on 'Saturday Night Live,' only to be knocked clean out of character by Taran Killam's hyperactive antics.

Justin Bieber kicked off his first 'Saturday Night Live' hosting gig with a seasonal tribute.

Yes, people. This is actually happening... Justin Bieber, or "The Biebs" as he's known with 12-year-olds, is getting set to host this weekend's 'Saturday Night Live.' Not only will the former Mr. Selena Gomez act as the show's host but he will also take in the spotlight as the musical guest for the week...

Last night 'Saturday Night Live' took their commercial parodies to a new level — and we certainly are not complaining. In a clever new ad for the language learning ad, Rosetta Stone, 'SNL' decided to feature other reasons why one might take a stab at a certain language. For example, Thai...

We can all agree that we're elated 'SNL' cast member Jason Sudeikis decided to stay onboard this season, right? Coming back with his hysterically strange and cartoonish version of Vice President Joe Biden, Sudeikis brought us 'Biden Bash' on last night's episode, a party filled with cotton candy, dog shows, a bouncy castle and the VP's Kung Fu expo.
