Every short is its own new mini-production, and every working week the crew effectively starts from scratch. They build new sets; find and fabricate props; design and craft costumes, wigs and prosthetics. These pretape sketches (fake ads, music videos and other shorts) go from a writer's imagination to television in a few days. They have been part of S.N.L. since the beginning. They are essential to both its aesthetic and the smooth running of the live production.

"It is fascinating to know that what you say will be taken seriously. We always worked really hard to make sure they were what we call a 'fair hit.' It only felt like it would work if it was based in something that was true."

The truth is, I was amazing at my job, and I am proud to say I made history as the first woman ever to be fired as attorney general. I shattered that glass exit door!

I was publicly humiliated, called a fraud, a fake. It was devastating. I was so young, and I thought it would define me forever.

Hannah Waddingham is a staunch LGBTQ+ ally. The star has garnered a strong queer following, thanks to her performances in West End favourites and on-screen with Willow, as well as her 2022 judging panel appearance on RuPaul's Drag Race UK.

Let's all go to the movies! Culhane's Carlson said. Huh? Really? Yes, why don't we grab some popcorn and watch American culture collapse? What are we doing? What's going on? One by one, Carlson took on the Best Picture nominees trashing them as leftist woke America's favorite fare.

Connor Storrie clown is more easy. Yes, this is the modern clowning that all the thinkpieces are thinking about. It's gettin' real nude, contorting one's body, and confronting the audience like you're a cat from Cats.

I'm sure a lot of you are wondering why Greg Bovino, the last guy, was dismissed, Homan said. I want to stress that it wasn't because he did a bad job, or publicly lied about the shooting of an American citizen, or even uh-oh dressed like a Nazi. It was that he was filmed doing these things. And the president no likey that!

I know no one is dying for a hot take on this from a guy who looks like he was homeschooled on a yacht, said the comedian, who was wearing a long-sleeved Wolves shirt. But it would be insane to ignore what's happening in my hometown right now. He then dissected footage of an ICE agent slipping on the ice, showing it over and over again. I'm not reveling in another person's pain, he said. If I wanted to do that, I would join ICE.

Kenan Thompson's been acting for most of his life. Cast in both All That and D2: The Mighty Ducks in 1993, when he was just 15, Thompson came of age onscreen. Maybe that's why, when he joined Saturday Night Live, just ten years after he started on Nickelodeon, Thompson felt like a fully formed comedian, sure of his own voice and style and able to deliver in just about any situation. He might have been relatively young, but compared to his fellow cast members, he had more credits and (arguably) more experience.

I expected that I would've been on the stage too with all of the other actors. When Garrett [Morris] and Laraine [Newman] went on the stage there, I was curious as to why I didn't. No one asked me to. Why was I left aside?

Last night, December 20, Ariana Grande returned to Studio 8H to host Saturday Night Live for the second time in as many years. During her monologue, Grande parodied Mariah Carey's recently record-breaking "All I Want for Christmas Is You" and was joined by Bowen Yang, who is leaving the SNL cast midway through his eighth season. She also appeared in sketches throughout the evening as an Elf on the Shelf, a dance instructor, and Macaulay Culkin's Kevin McCallister from Home Alone.
