<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-09T15:06:31+00:00“>May 9, 2021 | 11:06am ET After a relatively quiet post-election season that saw Saturday Night Live relax and refocus on the funnier, weirder whims of its talented and oversized cast, the show grabbed more headlines over the past month by booking billionaire troublemaker and rocket enthusiast Elon Musk to host. This wasn’t an unprecedented move; depending on one’s opinion of Musk, it lands somewhere between the affable-if-suspect dorkiness of booking rich guy Steve Forbes, who hosted after the end of his presidential campaign in 1996, and the beyond-suspect awfulness of booking rich guy Donald Trump, who has hosted twice, once during his own presidential campai...

For the first time in the show’s 46-year history, SNL will broadcast live across the globe. As Variety reports, a YouTube stream of tonight’s episode hosted by Elon Musk will be available in more than 100 countries worldwide. “SNL is a global phenomenon and this livestream marks the first time audiences around the world will experience the show simultaneously along with the US,” said Frances Berwick, chairman of NBCU’s entertainment networks, in a statement.

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-08T14:53:16+00:00“>May 8, 2021 | 10:53am ET Julie E. “Tawny” Kitaen, former actress and muse for the ’80s hard rock band Whitesnake, has died at the age of 59. The San Diego native passed away Friday (May 7th) at her home in Newport Beach, California, according to Variety. A cause of death has not yet been disclosed. Kitaen played the bride-to-be of Tom Hans’ character in the 1984 film Bachelor Party. She also had a reoccurring role on the early ’90s sitcom The New WKRP in Cincinnati, and played Jerry’s girlfriend in Seinfeld’s classic 1991 episode, “The Nose Job”.

Just last month, Sacha Baron Cohen was recognized with a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the 2021 Oscars for his work as Abbie Hoffman in Aaron Sorkin’s The Trial of the Chicago 7. As that film landed major awards props, Baron Cohen’s other key 2020 cinematic moment — the resurrection of his most famous character, Borat Sagdiyev, for Borat Subsequent Moviefilm — was likewise highly lauded for its immense comedy, deep irreverence, and political satire. It was a good year to be Baron Cohen. And the celebration continues: The Academy Award-nominated actor, screenwriter, and comedian will be honored with the Comedic Genius Award at the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards, airing live on MTV from Los Angeles on Sunday, May 16. The designation “honors an actor who has made incom...
Leroy announced at the beginning of The Challenge: Double Agents that this would be his final time competing on the hit MTV series. The veteran — who made his debut on the show back on Rivals in 2010 — came up short (once again) when he nabbed the bronze medal with his Real World: Las Vegas roomie Nany. And on Part 2 of the Season 36 reunion, the unforgettable competitor received a sentimental and sweet send-off. “Running that final with Nany and finishing with her, and what we have right here, that was the icing on the cake,” Leroy told host Vernon Davis after he was asked if this was truly the end of his road on The Challenge (it is). And while his girlfriend Kam isn’t saying goodbye to the game, she fully supports his decision to step away from the battlefi...
Brandon revealed at the first-ever Siesta Key reunion that he was a father (and Camilla, his girlfriend at the time, was not the mother). He did not divulge too many details about his child or the mother of the baby, but he did admit that he was “going through a lot.” When the hit series returns next week, viewers will see Brandon with his son Quincy and Quincy’s mother Delainey. “How are you doing buddy?” Brandon states in the sneak peek, as he gives his mini-me a kiss. Before we get a glimpse of Brandon as a dad, we’re taking a look back at the aspiring musician’s evolution on the MTV series. From dating Madisson to working in the studio, relive his Sarasota journey to fatherhood in the video. And do not miss Brandon, and the rest of his SK cast ...

While we are still awaiting more details on the Fraiser and live-action Fairly Odd Parents reboots, the streamer is ready to unveil its reimagined Rugrat series on May 27th.

New episodes will also hit the streaming service on Wednesday, instead of the Friday release schedule used for WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. The announcement was made by the God of Mischief himself, Tom Hiddleston, who glibly alluded to Loki being overlooked in the Marvel Cinematic Universe despite being “heroic, cunning, and charming.” He proceeded to dub Wednesday the “new Friday.” Earlier this week, Marvel fans received another preview of Loki with a short teaser trailer that aired during the NBA game between ...
The Challenge once pitted Real World against Road Rules. So when it comes to All Stars, which show will produce the contest’s newest winner? After Arissa’s fiery (and fiercely profane) exit from the show at the most recent Arena, players learned they’d have to survive a dreaded mini-final to advance to the game’s next round. In “Connect ‘Em All,” competitors — initially grouped in three teams of six — would race through a winding course completing a series of checkpoints. At certain points along the race, teams would shrink until a final race to the finish line left every man and woman for himself or herself. Oh, and the lifesaver — the spark that lit Arissa’s fuse — would henceforth be off the table, host TJ Lavin said, meaning winning missions would stand as the only way to guarant...
