• Chris Rock's Jokes About ISIS, 9/11 and Boston Marathon Bombing While Hosting 'Saturday Night Live' Leave Many Outraged

    The only thing worse than knowing in advance that an episode of Saturday Night Live might be a bit lackluster is putting tons of faith in a host only for them to miss the mark. Chris Rock did the honors last night and while some were entertained, it seems that his jokes about terrorism hit a little too close to home for some. Rock spoke of the irony of those who had trained to run the 26 mile Boston Marathon only to be told to run because there's a bomb. While Rock repeatedly expressed his love for NYC his comments connected to 9/11 were a bit too much for some.

  • Bill Hader Hosted 'SNL's' Lowest-Rated Episode in 40 Years

    Did you watch Bill Hader on Saturday Night Live this past weekend? You would think that as a former cast favorite the ratings would have spiked even a tiny bit higher then they have been in recent months. Instead the result was the absolute opposite.

  • 'SNL' Asked Chelsea Handler To Host, Then Blew Her Off- Twice

    One of the keys to Chelsea Handler's success is her realness.

She doesn't have to be your favorite to respect the fact that she's pretty honest in her interviews. On Thursday, while promoting her Netflix special Uganda Be Kidding Me, which is available today, Handler dished on why she has never hosted SNL.

  • The Replacements Perform "Alex Chilton" On 'Fallon,' 28 Years After Being Banned From 'SNL' [WATCH]

    On last night's (Sept. 9) episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, legendary alternative rock band the Replacements made their first television appearance in over 25 years, performing their classic song "Alex Chilton" from their 1987 album Pleased To Meet Me.

You can check out their Tonight Show performance right here, which sounds pretty sober, but still great:
