Who Said They're "Wack"? The Lonely Island Plan New Album

Who Said They’re “Wack”? The Lonely Island Plan New Album

Blame the incredibly long shadow of “Weird Al” Yankovic or the crop of so many dime-a-dozen parodists dropping quickly-crafted goofs on YouTube, but it always feels that The Lonely Island are criminally underrated. Sure, the trio of writer/actors Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccome and Akiva Schaeffer have earned plenty of acclaim for their daffy song satire, thanks to their beloved Digital Shorts on Saturday Night Live , where Samberg acted and Taccome wrote for several years. Some of these clips, including the ’90s R&B pastiche “ Dick in a Box ” […]

In Case You Missed It: Frank Ocean On "SNL"

In Case You Missed It: Frank Ocean On “SNL”

I didn’t catch all of last night’s “SNL” episode, but I did get home in time to catch both Frank Ocean performances. He was joined by John Mayer (who has thankfully ditched the cowboy hats) on guitar, and…all I’ve got to say is, watch out in February, because Frank is starting to look like 2013 Adele come Grammy time. I’d say that, at the very least, Best New Artist is wrapped up. ( our review of Channel: Orange ) Seth Macfarlane was a pretty good […]

The Idiot Box: 18 First-Timers Who Should Totally Host “SNL”

With the recent announcement that Eli Manning has been tapped to host weekly live comedy show “Saturday Night Live” on May 5th, coupled with the knowledge that Justin Bieber is confirmed to host before the current season’s over, NBC appears to have dropped the ball in the tail end of a season that has boasted some reasonably strong hosts. Episodes from Jason Segel, Charlie Day, and returning host Jonah Hill were uniformly strong, offsetting questionable outings from guest hosts Anna […]

The Idiot Box: SNL Parodies Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know”

Have you figured out yet how madly in love I am with Gotye’s “Someone That I Used To Know”? I missed this weekend’s episode of “Saturday Night Live” (Josh Brolin…meh…) but this skit containing Taran Killam (SNL’s MVP this season,) the always dependable Andy Samberg and Gotye himself is pretty damn hilarious. At least the guy’s a good sport, right?

The Idiot Box: Guess Who Came To Visit Blue Ivy On “SNL?”?

Unfortunately, I missed the most recent episode of “SNL.” Maya Rudolph hosted, and it seems like she did a really good job. Anyway, the skit that made the most noise found Maya playing new mom Beyonce Knowles. She and Jay Pharoah (doing a note-perfect Jay-Z impression even though there’s no resemblance whatsoever) entertain a who’s who of celebrities into their home to meet Blue Ivy. Fred Armisen is great as Prince, and Kristen Wiig does Taylor Swift’s surprise face to […]
