SNL booking comedian Druski post-midterms felt misbegotten in low-energy episode failing to capture historic ‘blue-nami’ Four days after the historic “blue-nami” midterms , Saturday Night Live opens at Democrats’ headquarters, where party leaders Hakeem Jeffries (Kenan Thompson) and Chuck Schumer (Sarah Sherman) celebrate, even as they vow to hold on to power in spite of the wishes of their energized base. Their toast is interrupted by the man responsible for Republicans’ shellacking, Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson). The president, who is “now lame duck”, accepts the results, “which is scarier in a way”. But he’s also resigned to focus on the ballroom , even as he laments having to work with millennial Democrats (this leads him down a long diatribe about the show New Girl). We get quick walk ons by a defeated JD Vance (Jeremy Culhane) and extra-aggro Pete Hegseth (Colin Jost), only for Trump to get a taste of his own medicine when James “Telefreako” Talarico interupts him. Texas’s new senator-elect speaks to one of the big issues of the day: “It’s clear people want something new, they want something different. I’m talking, of course, about SNL’s cold opens. How many of these Trump freezes are they gonna do?” Continue reading...

An unhinged “Elon Musk” hit the “Saturday Night Live” Weekend Update desk this week to address the outcome of this week’s midterm elections — and Musk, as played by “SNL” featured player Jeremy Culhane, didn’t quite know how to address it.

This year’s festive special looks forward to the time when chatbots reign supreme and humans prepare to be stamped out for ever. What a treat! John Lewis Christmas ad stars Kristin Scott Thomas as glamorous granny on a gift hunt The John Lewis Christmas advert no longer lands with the same thud as old. Once it prompted full media saturation and performative crying contests on social media. Now, more often than not, it’s the thing you skip before watching cat videos on YouTube. Nevertheless, its release is still an event, and so here we are again. This year, either by fluke or by design, John Lewis has managed to remember that it is a shop, and not simply a vessel for feelings of unfathomable sadness. Rather than being a vignette about lonely penguins or Moon Hitlers or Elton John’s growing fears about his own mortality, the John Lewis Christmas advert is literally about a woman going shopping. Admittedly there are caveats, but we’ll get to those. For the most part, this is less ‘Christmas can be emotionally brutal’ and more ‘Hey guys, remember shops?’ That has to be a good thing.
