  • SNL must be giving kickbacks to Deadline with all the posts they seem to be getting on this site these days. Who cares about SNL? If I wanted to watch it, I’d tune in. I don’t come to Deadline to see clip after clip of SNL. Enough already…

    • Deadline didn’t make you click on the link. You could have ignored it. But noooooooo . . .

      Comment by Chris — Sunday October 9, 2011 @ 7:26am PDT  Reply to this post
      • Thx u Chris for exposing the truth.

  • As fun as it would have been to see Eddie Murphy show up (as rumored). He was wise to steer clear… This entire episode was awful. What a terrible cast they currently have.

    Comment by Andy — Sunday October 9, 2011 @ 1:19am PDT  Reply to this post
  • LOVE Stiller f’ing on this ignorant moron – don’t open your mouth if you can’t express yourself clearly, dummie.

    And keep the SNL clips coming, they’re killing it so far this year!

    Comment by Lisa — Sunday October 9, 2011 @ 4:26am PDT  Reply to this post
    • Leave Hank alone! It’s not his fault he’s a backwoods hillbilly.

      Comment by Indrid Cold — Sunday October 9, 2011 @ 11:54am PDT  Reply to this post
      • Who you calling a hillbilly? My great-grandfather Cleatus was a hillbilly.

        Comment by Nancy Grace — Sunday October 9, 2011 @ 12:33pm PDT  Reply to this post
    • “Dummie?” SNL “killing it?” Politics aside, you’re in no position to be questioning anybody’s intelligence.

      Comment by NYCS — Sunday October 9, 2011 @ 4:09pm PDT  Reply to this post
  • This was one of the funniest sketches ever. Fox News gets nailed to the wall. I especially love how they are forced to run corrections to their many distortions of the truth at the end of the broadcast. Great job, SNL! Way to expose the right for their lies.

    Comment by Faux News — Sunday October 9, 2011 @ 5:48am PDT  Reply to this post
    • How many hosts have MSNBC suspended for loonatic statements compaired to FOX. When Bill Maher calls the Pope a Nazi or his 1,000th insult of Sarah Palin you lib douchebags come to his defence. All SNL and Stiller (whose movies suck) exposed was how unfunny the show is.

      Comment by Alex — Sunday October 9, 2011 @ 7:24am PDT  Reply to this post
      • Not to put too fine a point on it, but Bill Maher doesn’t work at MSNBC. And yes, SNL is very unfunny. And so is Ben Stiller.

        Comment by Jerry S. — Sunday October 9, 2011 @ 10:41am PDT  Reply to this post
    • You are so cute when you try think really hard.

      Who has been doing all of the apologizing lately? Oh, yeah, MSNBC that’s who. Sorry to pour water on your hate-speech buddy.

      Comment by savvydude — Sunday October 9, 2011 @ 9:08am PDT  Reply to this post
    • The bit was funny the first time they did it. After endless reruns of the same bit, not so funny anymore.

      Comment by Jerry S. — Sunday October 9, 2011 @ 10:42am PDT  Reply to this post
    • MSNBC is equally as guilty of what probably gave you a coronary to articulate.

      Republicans suck. Democrats suck. “We the People…” have given all the power to these people and the money to go along with it.

      Have you ever considered the possibility that ALL of these Politicians have annual meetings at some private, undisclosed location to discuss what they can do to rial up their representing parties in an effort to keep us too pissed off to notice their massive salaries ballooning even higher without our approval?

      I happen to be a lifelong Republican, but I would love to do away with the Party mentality we currently have. Our enemies — and there ARE many — must just LOVE watching us weaken ourselves.

  • Thats not a parody of Fox News is IS Fox news. They all come across like there brains were taken over by pods from outer space.

    Comment by Chuck — Sunday October 9, 2011 @ 8:56am PDT  Reply to this post
  • Speaking of last night’s SNL….you could almost hear the oxygen completely sucked out of that studio (and its audience)when Kristen Wigg dragged out yet another one of her painfully unfunny ‘characters’…was allowed to drone on with her pathetic schtick until putting both the studio and viewing audience into a near coma.
    Apparently Lorne Michaels won’t be satisfied until Wigg hammers every last nail in that show’s coffin.

  • It isnt about clicking on a link. If this site is in a show or
    network’s pocket to shill for their content, then their coverage of them might be biased. this site is starting to mirror the huffington post’s fawning coverage of anything kardashian.

  • 4:53 seconds of my life I will not get back.

    Comment by Lin — Sunday October 9, 2011 @ 12:39pm PDT  Reply to this post
  • Wow. SNL is so lame and unfunny! Added canned laugh track the ultimate joke on viewers.

    Comment by Toothless — Sunday October 9, 2011 @ 2:42pm PDT  Reply to this post
  • LISA!…You’re not ranting again(and again,and again and again) about the lack of “Diversity” on television and making a fool of yourself again and again ( since by now you are a complete joke??)…something wrong with the “color’ on your TV…why aren’t you having your usual fit that they’re all “white” guys in this skit getting all the jobs. What a hypocrit!

    Comment by myopinion — Sunday October 9, 2011 @ 3:58pm PDT  Reply to this post
    • Whoa!!! Too bad my parents couldn’t give me a more original name. I’m not the same Lisa who’s been ranting about diversity. Guess I should call myself Lisa2. I’m no hypocrit, just sick of seeing SNL on Deadline.

      Comment by Lisa — Monday October 10, 2011 @ 10:27am PDT  Reply to this post
  • Best part were some of the “corrections” at the end: “There are seven continents not 1000″, “President Obama did not pardon Carmen San Diego”, “Nicolas Cage did not sign the Declaration of Independence”, “Pocahontas was not named after a stripper”. But I agree, the Wiig intrusion with Seth Meyers was excruciatingly painful, which I really think Lorene Michaels wanted.

    Comment by Irving Thalberg's Ghost — Sunday October 9, 2011 @ 5:08pm PDT  Reply to this post
  • Hands up…who feels that Jerry Stiller is 1,000 times funnier than his son, Ben?

    Unanimous? I rest my case.

    Comment by Jason — Monday October 10, 2011 @ 8:15am PDT  Reply to this post
  • TEAM HANK!! See u in 2012!!!
