  • The Women of SNL Bring the Funny | Today's News: Our Take | 10/9/2008 New
    In their oral history of Saturday Night Live, Live from New York, Tom Shales and James Andrew Miller revealed an unfortunate legacy of sexism. Many of the show's female writers and cast members, chief among them Nora Dunn, told of difficulty in getting skits on the air and of generally being taken seriously by their male counterparts. That was then… and now six prominent alumnae will back on the tube this fall in five successful returning shows and one promising newcomer. (Also, a series of six special all-politics Thursday episodes of SNL begin October 9 at 9:30 pm/ET on NBC.) In the meantime, let's check in with these smart, talented women. After the jump, see who made our list of today's most successful female Saturday Night Live veterans... read more 10 Comments

  • NBC's Kath & Kim Cleared for Takeoff, Minus a Pilot | Today's News: Our Take | 2/6/2008
    NBC has ordered six episodes of Kath & Kim, its U.S. version of the hit Aussie sitcom about a fortysomething divorcée (played stateside by Molly Shannon) and her self-absorbed daughter (pout queen Selma Blair). What's significant here is that a pilot for K&K hasn't even been shot; instead, NBC Entertainment/Universal Media Studios cochair Ben Silverman made the call based on the original series' success. Citing NBC's new plan to produce far fewer pilots, Silverman tells Variety the K&K sitch "exemplifies how we are changing the process by ordering shows that we believe in and greenlighting them straight to series. We are confident that this proven international hit will effortlessly translate to American audiences."Worst case, he says, "Watch 30 Rock." (The preceding joke was stolen from Ausiello.) read more be the first to leave a comment

  • Exclusive: Molly Shannon Is Pushing Daisies! | Today's News: Our Take | 9/19/2007
    How's this for a perfect arrangement: Pushing Daisies has landed Molly Shannon for a multi-episode arc. Sources confirm to me exclusively that the delightfully kooky ex-SNL cutup will play Dilly Balsam, the owner of a saltwater-taffy emporium that just so happens to set up shop across the street from the Pie Hole. She's slated to first show up during November sweeps. OK, if you weren't planning on watching Daisies before, certainly this brilliant piece of casting did the trick, right? Riiiiiiiight? read more be the first to leave a comment
