TV. Food. Pop Culture.
Tina Fey is white hot right now, and in an effort to translate that into a ratings boost for 30 Rock, NBC is… um… what is NBC doing? Well, they certainly haven’t been taking advantage of the buzz, opting to launch the third season who knows when. Apparently the plan was to promote the heck …

Saturday Night Live aired its first of three Thursday night specials last night, and the results were pretty good. A skit making fun of Tuesday’s debate was enjoyable, even if it didn’t reach the instant-classic levels of last Saturday’s vice presidential sendup. Plus, a double segment of Weekend Update was for the most part funny, …

In a campaign littered with ridiculous controversies, here’s one that ranks near the top of the pack in terms of sheer silliness. The issue at hand: Newsweek’s un-retouched cover of Sarah Palin. According to Republican media consultant Andrea Tantaro, the brutal close-up image is a “clear slap in the face at Sarah Palin,” especially when …

I may not have been writing about it as intensively as before, but Mad Men still rocks my world. Last night’s episode was no exception, even if Joan was once again kept on the sidelines. That’s okay though. She doesn’t have much to do most episodes, but her handful of lines and furtive glares usually …

Last night’s Saturday Night Live will certainly be remembered for its hilarious Vice Presidential debate parody, but also deserving plenty of attention is this gut-busting take on The Lawrence Welk Show. Again, it all comes down to Kristen Wiig, who absolutely sells her role as, well, I don’t want to ruin it. Enjoy.
Saturday Night Live has been on a much publicized role with its coverage of this fall’s campaign season, and that’s mostly thanks to Tina Fey’s instant classic take on Sarah Palin. Last night’s episode proved no exception with a razor-sharp opening skit that skewered not only Palin, but Joe Biden and even Gwen Ifill (played …
Nothing’s funnier than an unintentionally phallic moment, especially when it comes from the ever peppy Rachel Ray. On yesterday’s episode of her talk show, our ever enthusiastic hostess welcomed a guest onto the program who revealed her very special way of removing corn silk. Needless to say, it was highly suggestive, and all of us …

I don’t watch The Simpsons as much as I used to, but maybe I should get back on board. Unlike others, I never engaged in any sort of backlash. I just fell out of it. However, as this clip proves (as well as various miscellaneous episodes I’ve caught over the past year), the show is …
There’s something exceptionally thrilling about watching talented people working together to create TV comedy. Such is the case with this clip from Late Night with Conan O’Brien. It features Julia Louis-Dreyfus, among others, engaging in some post-Emmy shenanigans in the hallowed halls of 30 Rock â€â€Ã‚ a place where I once served as a wee intern …
I’ve made no attempt to hide my love for Kristen Wiig, and on this past weekend’s installment of Saturday Night Live, a versatile cast member reprised her hilarious role of frazzled travel writer Judy Grimes (she of the “just kidding” fixation). If you missed the skit, feel free to check it out in the video …
