It looks like Bill Cosby‘s publicist watched Eddie Murphy‘s return to Saturday Night Live.

Given the recent attention surrounding Fred Rogers, it seemed like […]
Like many Saturday Night Live alumni, Eddie Murphy says he returning to the show felt both familiar and a little unreal. “It’s like going back to your old high school or going back to college—’cause it’s the exact same system in place,” he said during a recent appearance on the The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “It’s kind of surreal.” Known […]
Scarlett Johansson isn’t afraid of poking fun at herself. During her sixth appearance on Saturday Night Live this weekend, the actress appeared in the skit “A Conway Marriage Story”—a clear reference to her new Netflix film, Marriage Story. For the parody, Johansson played the role of therapist to the divorcing couple, Kellyanne and George Conway, the president’s […]
It’s safe to say Scarlett Johansson is pretty comfortable on the Saturday Night Live stage.
