EXCLUSIVE!! Learn Which SNL Vets Look Like They’re Returning For Tonight’s Anna Faris Shindig!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
Word is Chris Parnell will be back on tonight’s SNL to play debate host Jim Lehrer -- and Tina Fey is wearing her hair up again to take on Amy Poehler's Katie Couric!
Anna Faris (“House Bunny,” “Young Americans”) is the host; Duffy is the musical guest.
Is this show still on? SNL ratings are huge; the first two episodes of the season starring Michael Phelps and James Franco are collectively up more than 50% over the year prior. (Oddly, MADtv is not getting the same election-year bump!)
Next Saturday, super-dreamy Anne Hathaway (“Get Smart,” “Passengers,” “Rachel Getting Married”) hosts the fourth live SNL in a row. Musical guest will be The Killers:
No word on when Robert Smigel's TV Funhouse might return, despite the fact that Smigel's right hand was on the Lorne Michaels-produced "Late Night" this week:
Only two Saturday TV Funhouses ran last season, by far the fewest since SNL began airing the segments in 1996. The only Funhouse segment so far this year, "The Obama Files," ran on the March 1 show.
A commercial parody they should maybe run tonight:
11:30 p.m. Saturday. NBC.
Clark Kent: The Early Years!!
Babylon 5: $23.99/Season!!
60% Off in the 205-Title Warner TV Sale!!

Not that there's anything to actually comment on apparently...

Okay so this sounds worth watching - I love me my Tina Fey on SNL - although I wish it could be more Sarah Palin (which incidentally anagrams to become the word "plain")
-
and watch it in the morning
-
Faris will save most of the sketches she's in, either by improv if it seems to be going nowhere, or just by doing some slapstick and just casually playing it off. It won't be a Michael Phelps snore-a-thon.
-
She gets naked in films, has an amazing body. And can actually act.. cute smart funny nice evil whatever she's good and just gets better. One of my favorite actresses right now.
-
and have nothing to say.
-
As evidenced by that video.
-
what a grueling schedule.
-
I think Anna Faris has had some plastic surgery recently but, I cannot put my finger on exactly what she has had done.
I always though she was an attractive woman but, since she has done that "House Bunny" movie she really seems to be stunning.
It seems to be more than hair and make-up. I am at a loss to explain it. -
It seems like that doesn't it? The sketches they don't have the stones to put on early end up at the end and absolutely kill. Last week with Hader as Willem Dafoe through the non mirror was hilarious
-
You should give it a chance. I think a few of the early 30 Rock eps are definitely some of the weakest but by mid season one the show is just rolling. If you only watched the pilot I think you should give it another shot because there is some classic stuff that follows.
-
is as funny as a dude. She takes the joke all the way - that movie she was in with Ryan Reynolds . . . 'Just Friends' - needed more and more of her.
Hathaway was in that movie about a group of girls 'living on the edge'. Saw that one overseas. My nieces love 'the Princess Diaries', and having had to sit through those, I was quite surprised by Ms. Hathaway's on screen shenanigans. Felt wrong to watch that, and really screwed up future viewings of 'the Princess Diaries'. Really, really. -
she may be beautiful but she become a movie whore getting naked in everything she's in. Especially in trash like Havoc. I definitely prefer the sweet and innocent Hathaway of Princess Diaries and she has done nothing but tarnish that image. What a whore!
-
I like tom jane, stander, the punisher, the mist. but even he cant save this awful awful movie. it's not one of those so bad it's good movies. it's just plain bad. it not even worth watching for the sake of curosity. save your precious time dont do it.
-
I think with any show, the first few episodes are a bit slow, especially for a comedy. During the middle of season 1, it slowly started to turn to my new favorite comedy. Alec Baldwin is next to genius. Just wait for Baldwin, Thomas Jefferson and Maury.
-
Chris Parnell is a great utility player, but can also do hilarious over-the-top characters.
-
Oh, wait, they don't. Many people tune into SNL not because they love it, but because they used to love it, and are curious to see if it's good again. Personally, I watch it if I'm home and I'm bored, but haven't made it through the full episode since the Will Ferrell days. It's wayyyy more miss than hit. And that McCain sketch from last week SUCKED.
-
That is all.
-
Did I really fucking read somebody complaining about Anne Hathaway getting naked in movies?????
This proves, I think, that talkbackers can complain about ANYTHING!! ANYTHING!!!! -
It's true, I read it somewhere. Alas there were no pictures.
-
a segment of the TB population must be bat shit insane to think otherwise.....
-
daaayymn
-
She has a huge fanbase among young females. Combined with males coming to see a buffed-up Hathaway in the costume, you've got yourself a potential blockbuster.
-
Hasn't been funny in ten years.
-
he is hillarious and always worked so well with the rest of the cast especially sandberg, but they fired him and kept that annoying fat black guy that seems to have no chemistry with anyone on the show
-

This "Sarah Palin" is SNL's best character in YEARS
by flim springfield
-
fantastic. Palin is comedy gold, and Fey's Palin is pretty funny too.
-
I never even saw an ad for that shit.
-
did i miss something?
-
I've seen one now.
-
I said what I said about Hathaway. isn't there enough women out there getting naked? I just didn't appreciate a Disney girl like Hatthaway doing it. Her acting is nothing special and her entire filmography is nothing to brag about. Also, look at my talkback history and understand I'm not some whiney talkbacker. I say what's on my mind but I always try to look at the positive side of things unlike many here, so please don't put me in that category. Sorry, if I'm not some other guy drooling over Hathaway. I don't go and love movies because women get naked in them and if I did that would be extremely shallow. So sorry again, I'm not some pervy dude that gets excited to see some broad get nude. Also, people mentioned Faris looking different. The girl had her lips done, it was noticeable ever sinc eI saw the trailer for The House Bunny. She used to have these tiny, thin lips and now they're like twice the size.
-
It isn't funny anymore. The end.
-
Mad TV was never funny. NEVER.
-
I'd much rather have potentionally four more years of Darrel Hammond's McCain than Fred's fucking terrible Barrack.
-
at point fred had the voice down but overall bad like mostly all of his impressions. Hammond, of course, aced it.
-
I know people may hate this, but I love this bit so much.
-
Fred Armisen does him with a mean frown and stays there. Obama smiles a lot actually and shows his teeth. Fred never does that part ever. It's just serious frowny Obama. You can do better Fred
-
yeah one line was spot on. forgot what it was.
-
I thought he was terrible though.
-
Was that him in the Debate skit? I didn't even think, oh that's Chris Parnell. Until I read it here.

So it's now ok to whore out dead kids to sell sattelite tv?
by shermdawg
Lame.
-
duffy's the real deal
-
The most famous subject line in the SNL talkbacks. Nice one Hercules!
-
was great in that skit. Yeah, I also didn't appreciate that Poltergeist commercial.
-
Obama is so unlike any other politician we've seen in our lifetimes, for a multitude of reasons, a correct parody of him will be practically impossible for anyone short of Will Smith with a month of prep time.
Poor Fred Armisen, I don't envy him. -
But even when the ratings are high and the media ia talking about SNL political skits. The show never really gets any love. Probably because it's not consistent. Maybe they can change that this year? Yeah right.
-
Will see, when Denzel Washington gets his Oscar for portraying Obama in 'Yes we can, The Barack Obama story'.
-
Sylar & HRG partners???
-
That's a rarity.
-
what the hell, is he making a movie or something?
-
They're never going to get a spin-off movie if they don't.
-
It be freezing up my shit, son.
-
I like this skit alot too, but not as much as the hitman skit, I loved that one.
-
Kenan in like, 3 sketches already? Hammond in 2? Are they gettign paid OT?
-
was the funniest thing on the show. The Palin opener was not that funny. I think, SNL is struggling to poke fun at Obama. They just don't know how to do it or they are reluctant to do so.
-
Meh what do i care. I should have known better than to watch this POS. They have like one clip worth watching on youtube per month. I don't watch madtv, but atleast I laugh at some of Bobby Lee and crista flanagan skits.
-
The hell it wasn't. That's the funniest the show's been in a LONG time.
-
Unless they're one guest only.
-
the only laugh is from sandberg and i'd rather just see that character in his own sketch
-
There can never, ever be enough women getting naked.
-
whatever. sorry if i have morals. i know I'm at the wrong site to be discussing the necessity of nude celebrities. It's just sickening sometimes how a lot of people can't just stay pure. They have to whore themselves out. I know I'm whinning but its how I feel. I also find people like Scriptgirl sickening but I never mentioned it before. It's also sickening how Harry, a married man, drools over her. If I was his wife, I would leave his ass.
-
looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the K-Y Jelly tube today
-
Seth Myers has got to go.
-
The only thing odd is that Mad TV is still on the air....and that reruns play 40 times a day on Comedy Central.

Going a little too heavy on the Facebook references.
by flim springfield
-
why would i be banned..for what reason?
-
You're assuming Lorne gives a shit.
-
Or even heard of her before this?
-
It's just how I feel about the whole Hathaway thing. I'm glad to get it off my chest and I certainly respect the views of you, pervs. I just have a different mindset.
-
thought he'd been fired or soemthing..still looks like he's being wasted..give him a celebrity to impersonate

Anna Faris's existence makes Drew Barrymore obsolete.

Hader could probable impersonate Obama better than Armisen
by magic rat
you know it to be true.
-
Since when did enjoying the sight of a naked woman become immoral and perverted, as opposed to a biological imperative? Maybe you should try looking at some naked men instead.
-
I never heard of her.
-
It ain't about being naked. I'ts about using that to excel in life. Fact is, Hathaway's work isn't impressive an dwe all know and mostly agree what a waste Scriptgirl is. I'm not saying I don't enjoy the site of a naked women but I'm not over her itching for it. Begging for it like some uncontrollable freak.
-
Plastic surgery needs to be made illegal. RIP Anna Faris' beautiful face, you will be missed: http://wallpapers.skins.be/anna-faris/anna-faris-1024x768-16776.jpg
-
I respect your opinion, but I really feel like perhaps Hathaway wanted to take her career beyond Disney movies, so she took more racy, "adult" roles that just happened to include nudity. I would hardly call that "whoring" herself out. In fact I would probably call it pursuing the art of acting through a variety of different roles which are focused toward many different demographics...With that said...you're crazy for complaining about seeing that woman naked.
-
lol. she's a gorgeous woman. absolutely stunning. Maybe whoring herself out was too strong of a word. But it does seem like she's naked in every single movie. And to do all that nudity for a movie like Havoc. What was she thinking? Brokeback nudity, ok, Havoc nudity, bad.
-
There's this whole side to me about liking things staying the same. I know she's trying to grow as an actor and move beyond childish things, I just don't know. Maybe my whole mentality on the matter is all wrong but it's just how I feel. Don't you all sometimes wish that things could be like when you were young, all sweet and innocent and simple. I wish things could stay that way but unfortunately, when you grow up, all that is lost.
-
that's not every single movie. is charlize a whore for being nude in probably 3x as many movies?
-
http://tinyurl.com/5438ab
-
i agree that scripgirl is completely useless. but hathaway's acting is actually impressive. granted the actual movies she's been in haven't been the greatest all the time.. but she's played a bunch of varied roles extremely well. and she doesn't get naked in all of them at all, get smart and devil wears prada to name a couple. like holodigm said, nude in two movies. it's incorrect to say that's all she does, she's been in far more non-nude roles.
-
"I'm not some pervy dude that gets excited to see some broad get nude."Who in this century or at any point since the early sixties still calls women broads?I'm not going to cast aspersions over an ill thought out statement, but, really? Seriously? Men who get sexually stimulated looking at nude women are perverts? hey, personally I don;t think dudes getting stimulated looking at nudes of either gender are "pervy" - it's just a matter of biological diversity. And chicks getting hot looking at nekkid babes, well that's just a beautiful thing.but boys looking at girls? that is about the most vanilla bean, least pervy thing happening on the planet. Unless you live in burka country or something. Then it might be sinful Even so, not all sins are perversions.in California they actually had to address the subject of whether working in "xxx rated" adult films - that is, actually being filmed engaging in sexual activities, and then being paid for doing so, fit the definition of prostitution or not. Ultimately they had to acknowledge that if porn is legal then making porn can't be a crime. So actually having sex and getting paid for it isn't prostitution if you're being filmed for commercial purposes. And with that established, posing nude for an artist or appearing nude in a mainstream film certainly isn;t in any way shape or form "whoring".I actually had a friend who would have agreed about wanting to stay sweet, cute and innocent, and wishing that former "Disney girls" like Britney and Miley would never grow up or change their image. Kinda sad, but he was a generally nice guy, just a little weird sometimes. And he was a pervy dude, but only for Asian girls and hentai.
-
i went to far with hathaway and I don't really follow her films anyways because I never found her to be too interesting. And the act of enjoying a naked body isn't necessarily pervy either. That also was wrong of me. But don't even bring up porn and say it's not a form of prostitution because that's exactly what it is? But then again I have nothing against prostitution because I feel it's your body, do with it what you will. As long as you're not going around spreading std's, then it's all good. But by definition, porn is prostitution. Just because California establishes what's considered what, doesn't make them to be right. so, let's just end this, hathaway is a nice, pretty girl.
-
SOMEONE: Hey, Anne Hathaway is going to be on SNL next week. She's hot.
RANMA: Yeah, but don't you think it's weird that she's naked in all her movies? I'm just not into that.
EVERYONE ELSE: You're not into naked women in movies? But... isn't that the whole point of everything in the universe?
RANMA: Yeah, but I just don't understand why Anne Hathaway has to always be naked. What's up with that? Naked Anne Hathaway. Why do we always have to be talking about her naked, naked body? Anne Hathaway's, I mean.
SOMEONE ELSE: Well... one, it's awesome. But, she's not naked in all her movies, is she?
RANMA: Sure she is. I rent Brokeback Mountain, she's naked. I rent Havoc, she's naked. That was disgusting. I couldn't believe it. I was so shocked I had to rent it again. And Brokeback Mountain again too, just to make sure. Yep. Turns out she's naked, and you see her naked body. Which I hate!
SOMEONE ELSE: What about all of her movies other than those two, where she's not naked?
RANMA: Whoa, it's not like I follow her career or anything. I only watch Anne Hathaway movies where she's naked. Which I find disgusting! -
Man, you get the award for the most disturbingly repressed person of the year. Our entire advertising system, media system, economy, and civilization...are predicated on the notion that men and women are sexually stimulated by each other.
-
and maybe register a new, completely different username...
-
I have to agree wholeheartedly with the disgust with that Direct TV commercial. It was in incredibly bad taste. I can understand the corporate creeps at Direct TV not getting it, but Craig T. Nelson may just be a sociopath.
I mean the guy actually knew that little girl personally. He must also have have more money that got from being on that piece of shit show "Coach" for ten years. For him to whore himself out for a commercial and desecrate the memory of a dead child for more mammon is pretty low. Does this guy have a dead hooker in his trunk? -
Yep, the good folks at SNL did my Bush Doctrine joke last night, although reworked a bit, but still with the same implication!!! Don't believe me??? See my first post in the Debates Talk Back section!!!
Anyway, I wanted to thank everybody at SNL for that wink, wink, they showed me by running with my joke. Tina Fey was great as Sara Palin once again!!! Your including my joke, it gives me much needed encouragement as a writer, and as one who is fighting dylexia in addition to an eye disease...and didn't do too well in school, and in career, because of it...but, I am becoming a great writer now, due to never giving up, and having computer spell checking, my biggest and best, aid!!! -
Are you for real?!!
-
must be a woman
-
I meant to say "broad"
-
Not that there's anything wrong with it.
-
Again, if you don't believe me, look at my posting on the Debates Talkback on AICN.com...and cross check the date of the post with my prediction that I made in that very post, that being...a comedian, a talk show host, or Saturday Night Live, would run with my Bush Doctrine joke...and only a few days later, guess what (???), they did...and it got the biggest laugh in the whole show opening Palin skit!!!
-
I don't follow her career because lame movies like Prada and Get Smart don't interest me. I saw Brokeback once in the theatres, didn't care for the film but I guess it was equal oppurtunity nudity in that one so everyone got a fair share. Also, never saw Havoc, only the scenes where she's nude. I'm not saying I'm not some pervy dude, because in many ways, I am. Let's just move on though. I went to far, a lot of what I'm saying isn't really rooted in anything concrete so yeah I was wrong and I admitted that. I enjoy the sight of a naked women but I don't need it in order to enjoy a film. I need it if I want to masturbate but otherwise, no. But the again, when Hathaway was nude it was within context and not gratuitous, so no biggie. Like I said, I was wrong. Maybe I am a bit repressed.
-
looked like Tina Fey. As much as it seems to be a no-brainer to get Fey on the show to do Palin, to me it makes more sense to have Kristen Wiig play her. Wiig, after all, is a current cast member of the show. Why bring in outside help when you have someone sitting around with little to do who could do it just as well?I usually don't find much funny in Deep House Dish but I did laugh at the name "Bear Supply".
-
That she only ends up doing corset movies. I would like to see her doing wonder woman or another action heroine. I am not sure she can do it. For an action heroine you have to have a talent for playing dual roles. Its a very difficult one to pull off.
-
Peggy Hill from King Of The Hill. In fact, Cotton Hill from the same sow looks like McCain!!
-
Did the real Palin make a cameo as rumored she would?
-
Okay, she's doing that Dusty Springfield white R&B with a '60s sensibility thing and taking up the slack for that burned out Whinehouse.And imagewise she's this far from one of the Robert Palmer addicted to love fem-bots with the black dress, the red lipstick and the robotic hip swivels.Facially, she's like a much younger Dolly Parton with the lips and the dimples. A young Dolly without the breast implants and big wigs.So she's sort of pretty, formulaically sexy, and is a competent singer in her chosen genre, capable of creating interesting music even with her rather, how do I say this, unusual voice.And, um, I like female vocalists with "unusual" voices. The nasalness of Melanie, Cher, Stevie Nicks or Tiffany. The little girl squeak of Leah Andreone, Jill Sobule and Cyndi Lauper. The very strange no-one-like-them quirkiness of Kate Bush and Bjork.But even with everything she seems to be doing right, I don't think I could listen to an entire Duffy album. her voice is just too, too incredibly...no.AICN talkbacks talk about watching Script girl with the sound down. I think if Duffy did some sexy Samantha fox type wet t-shirt and bikini videos people would watch them with the sound off. Maybe even whack off to them. but can anyone explain how she's becoming a pop star with that incredibly annoying voice? I thought the MTV era of people looking at music instead of listening to it was over. Really, can anyone here explain Duffy to me? Anyone?
-
apparently she coudln't remember her lines.
-
"lame movies" like get smart and prada doesn't interest you, but the princess diaries does?... That's your whole spiel, you wish she could stick to her princess diaries roles. Well just letting you know that she almost entirely does stick to the clean roles.
-
Why didn't they pick the only black guy on the show?
-
As I understand it, Obama's half white and Armisen's half white (and half Venezuelan or something). So what's the problem?I'm half white myself, and half Scottish.
-
yeah i know. i was just saying her movies don't interest me to express why I haven't seen her movies. I wasn't interested in Princess Diaries but ending up seeing it and ultimately enjoying it for what it was. I'm sure if I watched Prada I'd enjoy that too, but I'm not interested. I know actresses have ot take risks with their careers. Mix up their roles to show their range, that's why I admitted I was wrong with what I said about her.
-
he's done it a few times allready i thought.
I'm half drunk. -
Which half?
-
It's true. Bobby Lee does an awful McCain, and MadTV's writing is ass, but SNL would do well do have that guy do Obama instead of Armisen.
-
Sorry. I came in really late on this one.
-
I didn't watch it, and everyone's talking about Anne Hathaway's tits.
-
Snl is never good nowadays but it has its moments. But this past episode hardly had any good moments. The opening was ok, and the debate section was cool but unfortunately Faris was pretty one note and for some odd reason, the untalented Kenan Thompson was in 80% of the sketches. Daryl Hammond rocked it with Bill Clinton and John McCain impressions. That was the high points.
