  • Kilmer, Phillippe in Talks to Join MacGruber on Big Screen | Movie News | 7/8/2009 New

    After taking over the Super Bowl, Saturday Night Live's favorite inept spy, MacGruber, is ready to explode onto the silver screen — perhaps with a former Caped Crusader in tow.

    Val Kilmer and Ryan Phillippe are in negotiations to star in the film, co-written by MacGruber himself, SNL star Will Forte, who will reprise his role, according to the Hollywood Reporter. SNL's Kristen Wiig will also join as his always imperiled assistant.

  • NBC Boss: SNL-Pepsi Deal Is a Taste of Things to Come | Today's News: Our Take | 2/4/2009
    NBC entertainment co-chair Ben Silverman is pursuing other partnerships like the one that turned a recurring Saturday Night Live character into a Super Bowl pitchman for Pepsi.

    Of detractors who claim the Peacock blurred the line between programming and advertising with such a deal, Silverman contends, "Those are the same people who will be out of business" if they do not adapt during this difficult economy. He also tells TVGuide.com that NBC is in talks with other potential partners about "finding [similar] ways to use our entertainment vehicles to help their brands."

    The spots, which premiered on the eve of the Super Bowl (during SNL commercial breaks), show Will Forte's MacGruber ... read more 24 Comments

  • Critics' Notebook: Laughs Abound on Monday | Matt Roush | 5/6/2008
    Since there seems to be some division in the office today on Monday night's CSI-style Two and a Half Men, I'll respectfully part company with Cheers & Jeers and give the episode a tentative thumbs-up.The tweaking of the theme song with a little taste of The Who? Sweet. The graphic CSI-shots following all manner of food down Jake's gullet into his stomach, culminating in the mother of all fart jokes? Genius. Yes, I've previously come out against flatulence humor in general — and in particular on Boston Legal — but keep in mind that where young Jake is concerned, this is the epitome of humor, and watching his bubble of gas from the inside was inspired. And what about the moment when the CSIs look for traces of semen in the crime scene of Charlie's bedroom (!) and the room lights up "like a Jackson Pollack painting." Very funny, in classically grody Two and a Half Men fashion.Less inspired: every joke involving the word "hoo-hoo." Again, comes with the territory here, but... read more
  • SNL: A Stop on the Campaign Trail | Matt Roush | 3/2/2008
    In only two weeks on the air, Saturday Night Live is back in its sweet spot, right where it wanted to be during the long strike hiatus: smack-dab in the center of today’s political dialogue. Barack Obama made a cameo in the last episode before the strike, Mike Huckabee showed up for an aw-shucks appearance in the middle of last week’s Weekend Update, and this week, in an opener that’s likely to become part of the all-time SNL archives, it was Hillary Clinton’s turn. She who inspired last week’s classic Tina Fey slogan, “Bitch is the new black,” which I’ve already bought as a T-shirt for a friend (not an endorsement, mind you, of anything but great comedy).In a life-imitates-art moment, the real Senator Clinton gave SNL a shout-out during last Tuesday’s debate in Cleveland, in an awkward attempt to piggyback on the show’s parody of media bias favoring her rival: “I just find it curious if anybody saw Saturday Night Live, maybe we... read more
  • "The Actor" | TV Show Recaps | 8/27/2007
    "Are you feeling the feeling that I'm feeling?" I hope so, because I'm enjoying this show so much that I might turn into Mel II. When Bret and Jemaine finished singing those lyrics, Mel and Murray were two of three people clapping in the audience. Saturday Night Live's Will Forte played Ben, a dry cleaner and semiprofessional actor whom the duo asks to tell Murray that he's from a record company and to give him a rejection call to boost his spirits about the direction of the band. We all need a little rejection to feel better, right?When a brainstorming session to elicit a larger audience is going slowly, and Bret's idea to hand out free pencils at each gig gets nixed, the first song of the evening was presented in a video scrapbook to "Cheer Up Murray." The well-meaning guys sang about Murray's helluva good English bulldog, his wife having met someone on the Net, and that his friends are Bret, Jemaine and Greg. (Have we heard about Greg before?) Forte was perfectly cast as he match... read more
