Latest in Cecily Strong

In May 2012, Saturday Night Live said good-bye to two of its biggest stars, Andy Samberg and Kristen Wiig, prompting the usual gloom-and-doom forecast for NBC’s veteran late-night sketch comedy program. A few months later, SNL introduced one of its strongest group of female performers ever with Kate McKinnon, Cecily St…

It seems like Saturday Night Live wanted to take a break from Donald Trump fare in the cold open and decided to focus on the recent news of Joe Biden’s allegations of making women feel uncomfortable for being, well, too touchy-feely. This called for the return of SNL alum Jason Sudeikis as the former Vice President…

Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update segment welcomed a special guest – Judge Jeanine Pirro (Cecily Strong), who was returning from a two-week enforced absence to talk about her motivations with host Colin Jost. Returning because “someone from Fox News said my name into a mirror three times,” Pirro quickly launched…

Idris Elba was struck by gamma radiation in a failed experiment, and Dr. Bruce Banner has been cursed to transform into a raging, aggressive and unreasonable beast when his stress levels rise. Thus was born The Impossible Hulk. But instead of becoming a green giant with enormous strength and invulnerable hide, this…

The Saturday Night Live winter finale appropriately kicked off with a holiday-themed black and white cold open titled “It’s a Wonderful Trump” which celebrated a Trump-less presidency with some of your favorite SNL special guest stars. Obviously, Alec Baldwin came in to reprise his role as Donald Trump one last time…

The first December episode of Saturday Night Live kicked off with Alec Baldwin returning as Donald Trump after a small break following his little parking spot incident (we’ll get into that later). SNL‘s cold open featured Baldwin’s Trump in Argentina for G20. He is having a sleepless night on the balcony of his hotel…

Alec Baldwin, Cecily Strong, Rachel Dratch and Susan Lucci are among the stars heading to Broadway for a four-night stand of Celebrity Autobiography, the comedy in which celebrities read the memoirs of other celebrities. The show will run on four consecutive holiday-season Mondays at the Marquis Theatre beginning Nov…

Saturday Night Live‘s cold open was possibly the most all-star — and delightful — political skewering they have had yet. It was the Infinity War of cold opens. Ben Stiller reprised his role as attorney Michael Cohen while Alec Baldwin once again held court as Donald Trump. It starts with an anxiety-ridden Cohen…

On a day when Alec Baldwin returned to both Saturday Night Live and the pages of The New York Times – the former a more joyful return, the latter seeing the newspaper rake the actor for his support of Woody Allen and James Toback – the women of SNL responded with grace and strength. In other words, they stole the…

WWE superstar John Cena grapples with comedy just fine – see Trainwreck – so his chops as host on last night’s Saturday Night Live came as no surprise. In the best of his bits, he put more than his muscles to use. But those too. One pre-taped sketch, “The Karate Teen,” featured season newcomer – and weekly…

Saturday Night Live guest host Kristen Wiig brought back a couple familiar faces from her days on cast, none more brilliant – at least in the character’s own mind – than Mindy Elise Grayson, the Broadway diva with more practiced grace than actual brains. In a vintage game show bit supposedly from 1964, Wiig’s stagey…

There were no solemn renditions of mournful Leonard Cohen songs on NBC’s Saturday Night Live last night, but the gang in Studio 8-H isn’t quite celebrating yet either. A stunned post-Trump mood was apparent in at least of couple of sketches during the pre-Thanksgiving Kristen Wiig-hosted episode. The first…
