Eminem Shuts Down Pete Davidson’s Final SNL Rap Video: Watch
Pete Davidson had one final treat for SNL viewers before ending his seven-season run: a rap tribute video to the show’s creator, Lorne Michaels. The skit, which was apparently cut for time, begins with host Natasha Lyonne informing Davidson that Michaels is depressed because the two never got to make a rap video together. “You know, that guy has literally done everything for me, so I’m going to pay him back by doing this rap video exactly the way he wrote it,” decades Davidson. Set to the tune of “Forgot the Dre,” David proceeds to honor Michaels’ legacy by ratting off his many accomplishments — from discovering comedians like Chris Farley, David Spade, and Kristen Wiig, to writing Three Amigos, to winning the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The accompanying visuals feature Davidson dressed...
SNL Says Goodbye to Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, Pete Davidson, and Kyle Mooney: Watch
Saturday Night Live bid farewell to several of its longest tenured cast members during an emotional season finale episode on Saturday, May 21st. Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, Pete Davidson, and Kyle Mooney each said goodbye to Studio 8H in their own unique ways. As the undisputed star of SNL over the last several seasons, it was only appropriate that McKinnon’s farewell opened the show. Specifically, SNL dedicated its Cold Opening to a final reprisal of McKinnon’s long-running Close Encounters sketch, which concluded with her character boarding a spacecraft. “Earth, I love you. Thanks for letting me stay a while,” McKinnon said through tears. While Bryant was featured heavily throughout the episode, her appearance on Weekend Update served as her formal goodbye. Appearing alongside ...
Sharon Van Etten Shakes Out Her “Mistakes” on Colbert: Watch
Sharon Van Etten swung by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Friday night to perform her song “Mistakes.” Watch the musical number below. Decked out with shaggy dark hair, heavy black eyeliner, and a head-to-toe red outfit, Van Etten resembled something like a modern Joan Jett as she passionately belted out the funk-rock tune. “Mistakes” is featured on the indie rocker’s brand new album We’ve Been Going About This All Wrong, which was released on May 6th via Jagjaguwar. While it didn’t contain any advance singles, the album follows one-off tracks “Porta” and “Used to It.” In Consequence’s official review of the album, Paolo Ragusa said Van Etten “is at an all time high, crafting a powerful journey on the subjects of motherhood, partnership, loving one’s self, and navigating the darkness...

Pete Davidson Is Exiting Saturday Night Live
Pete Davidson is exiting Saturday Night Live, multiple outlets report. Tomorrow’s Season 47 finale, hosted by Natasha Lyonne and featuring Japanese Breakfast as the musical guest, is expected to be his last episode. Davidson joined the sketch program in 2014 at only 20 years old, making him the fourth-youngest cast member behind Robert Downey Jr. (also 20), Eddie Murphy (19), and Anthony Michael Hall (17). A relative unknown at the time, Davidson has evolved into one of the biggest names among the current cast, in part because of breathless tabloid coverage of his romantic entanglements — from his short-lived engagement to Ariana Grande to his current partnership with Kim Kardashian — and in part because of an increasing presence in buzzworthy films, such as The King of Stat...

Thirty-Year Anniversary: Commemorating Every Single Season Of The Real World
Three decades ago, seven young people — Becky Blasband, Andre Comeau, Heather B. Gardner, Julie Gentry, Norman Korpi, Eric Nies and Kevin Powell — changed reality television forever. MTV viewers were invited into their unique and brand-new world on May 21, 1992. And, in return, the cast was completely real and set the tone for more teens and twenty-somethings to tell their “true story” in years to come. In honor of The Real World turning 30, we are celebrating all the seasons where we witnessed brave young people as they “stopped being polite” and chronicled every single high and low during the filming period. The series spanned different continents, covered current events as they unfolded and saw cast members address timely social issues impacting their...
Netflix Unveils First Eight Minutes of Stranger Things Season 4: Watch
Pack your bags, because we’re heading to Hawkins, Indiana: Netflix has shared the first eight minutes of the highly-anticipated fourth season of Stranger Things today. The sneak preview arrives just ahead of its premiere next Friday. Here, we’re dialing the clock back to 1979 and taking a closer look at the inner workings of Hawkins National Laboratories, where Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) first escaped way back in the show’s pilot episode. Throughout the rooms of the lab are fleets of children with hospital gowns, shaved heads, and numbers marked on their wrists — just like Eleven when we first met her. But as Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine) begins his routine examinations on Ten, the young test subject detects disaster unfolding in Hawkins Lab — and one familiar face appears particularly gui...
Ted Cruz Is Jealous of Pete Davidson: “How Come That Dude Gets All of These Hot Women?”
Ted Cruz, who looks like a child tried to paint a face on a bowl of mashed potatoes, does not understand the appeal of Pete Davidson, complaining on his podcast, “How come that dude gets all of these hot women?” On Friday’s episode of The Verdict with Ted Cruz, his co-host Michael Knowles read out a fan question. “‘We are seeing women like Amber Heard, Jada Pinkett Smith, Megan Markle, Kim Kardashian. Is it time we start talking about toxic femininity?’” Cruz began his answer behaving as if he’s aware that women are, in fact, people, though he wasn’t able to keep up the illusion for long. “Jada Pinkett Smith, it seems unfair to blame her for the fact that Will Smith went and took a swing at someone,” he said. “He has agency, so I’m not going to blame her for that. Amber Hear...
Time Traveling Expert Steven Moffat Answers Our Questions About The Time Traveler’s Wife
Steven Moffat’s had plenty of experience writing time travel stories, as the former head writer behind the iconic BBC sci-fi drama Doctor Who. But he’s very clear on the differences between that show and The Time Traveler’s Wife, his new adaptation of the best-selling Audrey Niffenegger novel about a man who gets constantly unstuck from time, and the woman who’s loved him her entire life, despite the complications of his condition. “Henry and Clare’s life is not an adventure story. That’s the big difference. It’s a story of people trying to have a marriage, trying to be in love, trying to get home at night, trying to grasp every day of happiness they can have while facing the irritant of time travel,” he tells Consequence. “The Doctor loves his time travel. He or she wants to run back to h...
Can The Siesta Key Crew Behave At Madisson’s Wedding?
Madisson’s famous last pre-wedding words: “Nothing’s gonna happen at a wedding, right?” While the bride-to-be had high hopes that everyone “will be on their best behavior” during the big day, the groom wasn’t so sure during tonight’s Siesta Key. “I think Juliette likes drama,” Ish said. “She’s growing, but she also has toxic relationships that she can’t break away from.” That was certainly evident at Cara’s recent pool party (you know the one, it was on a Wednesday), which was a hot topic of discussion at Madisson’s lingerie-clad bachelorette bash: Jules was convinced that Jordana and Cara had invited Sam’s flavor of the week Meghan to “upset” her. The ...
New Daredevil Series Reportedly in the Works at Disney+
A new Daredevil series may be coming to Disney+. While neither Marvel nor the House of Mouse’s streaming service have yet to make any kind of official announcement, Variety is reporting that Matt Corman and Chris Ord — best known for co-creating USA spy drama Covert Affairs — have signed on to write and executive produce the forthcoming show. The news comes on the heels of two main characters from the Netflix Daredevil show entering the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe world in recent months. Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock made a surprise cameo as Peter Parker’s “really good lawyer” in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, while Vincent D’Onofrio’s villainous Kingpin served as the shadowy big bad in Disney+’s Hawkeye last December. However, no casting has been announced as of yet, and so neithe...
