Jolly old elf Martin Short is making it official — by joining Saturday Night Live’s Five-Timers Club on December 21, he’s also cementing his status as the show’s all-time Christmas Guy. Along with the season’s opener and final show, the holiday episode is generally reserved for SNL all-stars. This is Short’s second shot at the Christmas show, following his first in 2012, but he also co-hosted the December 10 episode in 2022 with Steve Martin. That show was packed with holiday sketches, including a twisted take on A Christmas Carol.
Only three other people have hosted as many as two Christmas episodes, according to Late Nighter. First was Candice Bergen in 1975 and 1976, the show’s first two seasons. The man who ruined Christmas, Jimmy Fallon, hit the holiday double in 2011 and 2013. Technically, Eddie Murphy is the all-time champ by hosting the Christmas show in 1982, 1984 and 2019 although that record comes with...

Suits is one of the best legal shows out there, but there are more to enjoy for fans of the series!
Suits has been one of the bigger TV success stories of the last few years. The original series ran on USA Network from 2011 to 2019, a great run that made it a huge rating smash. In 2023, the series hit Netflix and soon rocketed to the top of the viewing charts. That’s led to plans for a new revival series on NBC.
The show rests on the fun of the legal antics combined with great character work, such as the romances and fun banter of the characters. It joins a long list of legal dramas, many of them classic stuff like Law & Order centering on major cases. Yet others are fun in how they have a mix of great characters, sometimes offbeat cases and even some humor. If you’re a fan of Suits,...

Cher and Kelly Clarkson pulling double duty on Saturday Night Live? Count Bowen Yang (and us) in.
Appearing on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the longtime featured player has seen veteran and new hosts alike take over Studio 8H through the years. But there is one powerhouse singer — or rather, two — who sit atop his wish list.
“Well, my white whale has always been Cher,” the Wicked actor said.
Clarkson agreed: “She’s hilarious!”
Yang continued, “She’s so funny!

Jason Reitman’s recent Saturday Night movie told the story of how a young upstart producer named Lorne Michaels dared to revolutionize late-night television with his bold new vision for a sketch comedy series unlike any other, ultimately succeeding in his goal despite network meddling and Milton Berle’s attempts to to crush Chevy Chase’s soul with his giant hog.
The movie would have been a tad less triumphant had it included a post-credit scene in which Michaels bails on the show after just a few weeks for purely petty reasons. But reportedly, that’s what happened.
Bill Carter, author of the quintessential late-night comedy text The Late Shift, recently spoke with Susan Morrison, author of the upcoming biography Lorne: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live, for LateNighter. According to Morrison, one notable story about Michaels is the time he quit his own show less than a month after it premiered.

"Saturday Night" is Jason Reitman's fast-paced, sizzling chronicle of the chaotic 90 minutes leading up to the premiere of the first episode of the late night sketch comedy series that would come to be known as "Saturday Night Live". As we know, the series would go on to become a staple of pop culture that changed comedy and television forever, and it's still going strong today in its 50th season.
But back in 1975, no one knew what this show would become, not even the young, confident showrunner Lorne Michaels (played by "The Fablemans" star Gabriel Labelle). Thankfully, we're in the future, and we know the long history of "SNL" that spans five decades, which includes a myriad of memorable sketches that have become greatest hits. That's why director Jason Reitman included some Easter eggs for hardcore "SNL" fans that allude to the future history of the show. Throughout the movie,...

Saturday Night Live wasn’t Saturday Night Live, both literally and spiritually, when it premiered on Oct. 11, 1975. Weeks earlier, ABC had debuted a prime-time variety show called Saturday Night Live With Howard Cosell. So Lorne Michaels’ late-night creation had to go by, simply, Saturday Night — the same title of the Jason Reitman film (out now) about the sketch-comedy institution’s very first telecast. But that inaugural season was different from what we think of as Saturday Night Live in ways that go much further and deeper than the name. In that first year,...

As we mercifully approach the finale of the 2024 election cycle, motherhood has once again found its way to the forefront of conservative platforms. Not only should women see their pregnancies to term no matter the circumstances or health risks, but Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance has derided women who choose not to become parents in the first place as “childless cat ladies.”
What a difference 30 years makes. In 1992, sitting Vice President Dan Quayle had a very different take on the subject of women and their pregnancies — and used a popular sitcom character to make his point.
The character was CBS’ Murphy Brown, a single career woman who worked as a journalist for Fyi, a 60 Minutes-style news program. During the 1991-1992 season, Brown became pregnant, and the father, an underground radical, was unwilling to take responsibility as a parent. After much consideration, Brown decides to have the baby and raise it on her own.

Not a lot of earth-shattering moments at last night’s Emmy Awards, but at least there were a handful of good jokes. In between Shogun and Hacks taking home the night’s major awards, here were the evening’s nine best punchlines and funniest moments…
1 Hopefully, the Last ‘The Bear’ Isn’t a Comedy’ Joke
Eugene Levy: “The Bear is nominated for 23 Emmys tonight, making it the most-nominated comedy in history. Now, I love the show, and I know some of you will be expecting us to make a joke about whether The Bear is really a comedy — but in the true spirit of The Bear, we will not be making any jokes.”
2 Shoutout to ‘Hot Ones’
Dan Levy: “The creators of Shogun actually had their scripts translated into Japanese, rewritten and then translated back into English subtitles that you missed because you were also on your phone...

From the moment Eugene and Dan Levy casually strolled on stage — without so much as a pre-taped lead-in video — the 2024 Emmy Awards felt like nothing special. After all, many of the attendees had already been to an Emmys ceremony this year. Getting hyped to watch the same winners, year after year, is a recurring issue for TV’s grandest night, but the challenge becomes that much harder when a chunk of those winners were rewarded less than nine months ago. Similarly buzz-killing is the idea that the new winners are predetermined, as many expected “Shōgun,” “Baby Reindeer,” and “The Bear” to do well at the 76th Emmy Awards, which they did. For the most part.
But despite slight early surprises (Liza Colon-Zayas! Lamorne Morris!) and a major late stunner (“Hacks” putting the “comedy” back in Best Comedy Series), ABC’s telecast was constantly fighting familiarity, if not outright redundancy. Where...

The 2024 Emmy Awards were filled with several memorable moments throughout the night on Sunday, from historical wins and powerful speeches to heartfelt cast reunions and political jokes. Some of them included Anna Sawai, Liza Colón-Zayas and Hiroyuki Sanada making history with their wins; Candice Bergen making a catty J.D. Vance joke; and The West Wing, Happy Days and Saturday Night Live casts reuniting onstage. Below, The Hollywood Reporter highlights some of the night’s unforgettable moments.
John Leguizamo Celebrates Diverse Emmy Nominees in Powerful Speech

It’s hard to make a yearly awards show feel special when it’s staged twice in one year. Such was the challenge facing the 76th annual Emmy Awards, which aired just eight months after its warmly nostalgic predecessor due to the prior show’s strike-related delay. (Both shows were helmed by the same producing team.) Factor in the Television Academy’s tendency toward repeat honorees — and more recently, select shows to sweep all awards in their category within a given year — and it’s understandable why Sunday’s broadcast was a relatively muted affair. But drab is drab. Whatever the justifications, the 76th Emmys were a far less dynamic and more stilted watch than the January show.
Take the signature flourish of a night that was otherwise straightforwardly staged: grouping presenters by archetype of character, from fathers to villains to doctors, and surrounding them with custom sets and backdrops.

Besides the unexpected and well deserved Best Comedy win for Hacks, the show was full of predictable trophies for FX’s Shōgun and The Bear and Netflix’s Baby Reindeer. Along with anticipated victories for True Detective: Night Country’s Jodie Foster, The Crown’s Elizabeth Debicki and Hacks’ Jean Smart, Sunday’s nostalgia-heavy, nearly three-hour 76th Primetime Emmy Awards was punctuated by a crowd-pleasing West Wing 25th anniversary reunion, featuring Martin Sheen, Allison Janney, Janel Moloney, Richard Schiff and Dulé Hill.

It all went down at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards. Lots of wins, even more losses and many moments we just had to rate as either best or worst — from John Leguizamo’s impactful message about diversity and inclusion to Candice Bergen scratching at Donald Trump’s vice president pick Jd Vance.
Netflix’s thrilling drama miniseries “Baby Reindeer” took home four Emmys, alongside FX’s “The Bear” and “Shōgun,” while “Hacks” proved that comedic moments are needed to win Outstanding Comedy Series.

We’re back for our second Emmys ceremony in eight months — and maybe that explains why the whole night felt so listless. Sunday’s Emmys broadcast on ABC certainly had its moments and honored some outstanding shows and performances along the way. But overall, it was a disappointingly stuffy, by-the-numbers production that failed to capture the passion and creativity found on the small screen these days. TV is as daring as it’s ever been… but these Emmys weren’t nearly bold enough to reflect that.

It was a Happy Days 50th anniversary reunion tonight at the Emmys, with former stars Ron Howard and Henry Winkler presenting the Emmy for Best Directing for a Comedy Series.
Howard and Winkler appeared on a re-creation of the iconic Arnold’s Drive-In set, when Howard (aka Richie Cunningham), noted that their intro did not include music, specifically the “Happy Days” theme song. “Candice Bergen had a theme song,” said Howard, to which Winkler replied, “Well of course she would get one.”
“Well, I have a solution, you could do it,” said Howard, encouraging Winkler to go play the jukebox as he did on the series. “First of all, I’m out of practice, it takes schooling” joked Winkler, who then did the iconic Fonzie move and got the Happy Days theme song to play. “Well done,” said Howard.

“Well, I have a solution, you could do it,” said Howard, encouraging Winkler to go play the jukebox as he did on the series. “First of all, I’m out of practice, it takes schooling” joked Winkler, who then did the iconic Fonzie move and got the Happy Days theme song to play. “Well done,” said Howard.

The 76th annual Emmys has arrived, and with it comes the celebration of TV hits past and present as the event makes way for some extra special reunions, among which included a 50th-anniversary reunion for Happy Days stars Henry Winkler and Ron Howard. Presented by co-host Eugene Levy, Howard and Winkler took to the stage to present Emmy in the category for Outstanding Director for a Comedy Series. Before they turned their attention to the nominees, Winkler called out Howard’s recent Emmy win for his documentary Jim Henson: Idea Man. And it was then time to note that the stage fashioned after Happy Days‘ set “feels like home.” Kevin Winter/Getty Images “Did you notice anything?” Howard questioned then, noting that no theme song played for the stars during their entrance. “Candice Bergen had a theme song,” Howard complained before he suggested Winkler fix that problem. “You went to the Yale School of Drama,...

Candice Bergen and Selena Gomez took aim at Republican vice presidential candidate Jd Vance’s widely-mocked “childless cat ladies” comment at the Emmys.
While presenting during the show, Bergen brought up her series “Murphy Brown,” saying: “In one classic moment, my character was attacked by Vice President Dan Quayle when Murphy became pregnant and decided to raise the baby as a single mother. Oh, how far we’ve come. Today a Republican candidate for vice president would never attack a woman for having kids. So as they say, my work here is done. Meow.”
While presenting an award with her “Only Murders in the Building” co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, Gomez zinged them by saying, “And let me say what an honor it is to work with two guys who are this far away from being childless cat ladies.”
In a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson, Vance said, “We’re effectively run in this country,...

Candice Bergen returned to the 2024 Emmys stage Sunday night and landed a joke at the expense of Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance.
The former star of CBS’ Murphy Brown, who famously drew the ire of conservative politicians in the 1990s, made a direct comparison to her sitcom’s most famous storyline and current political headlines.
“For 11 years, I had the tremendous privilege of playing the lead in a comedy series called Murphy Brown,” the 78-year-old Bergen said. “I was surrounded by brilliant and funny actors, had the best scripts to work with, and, in one classic moment, my character was attacked by vice president Dan Quayle when Murphy became pregnant and decided to raise the baby as a single mother.”
Bergen took a beat, and then sarcastically said, “Oh, how far we’ve come … Today, a Republican candidate for vice president would never attack a woman for having kids.

TV legend Candice Bergen was on hand Sunday (September 15) night for the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards to present the award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series to Hacks star Jean Smart. But before she got to the business of handing out the award, she had a little something to say about her multiple Emmy-winning series, Murphy Brown, and how it relates to certain current events. “In one classic moment, my character was attacked by the vice president, Dan Quayle… when Murphy became pregnant and decided to raise the baby as a single mother,” she remembered, citing his very public and publicized reaction to the show’s Season 4 finale. Then, in the run-up to the 1992 election, in which George H.W. Bush and his running mate were up for re-election, Quayle responded to the storyline where the titular character gave birth to a son and decided to raise him as a single mother.

Candice Bergen opened her appearance at the Emmys, to present the comedy actress category, with a comparison of Jd Vance’s attack on “childless cat ladies” to then-Vice President Dan Quayle’s election year fight with Murphy Brown.
Bergen opened, “For 11 years, I had the tremendous privilege of playing the lead in a comedy series called Murphy Brown. I was surrounded by brilliant and funny actors. Had the best scripts to work with. And in one classic moment, my character was attacked by Vice President Dan Quayle when Murphy became pregnant and decided to raise the baby as a single mother.
“Oh, how far we’ve come,” she deadpanned.

Is “Shōgun” adding more Emmy hardware to its historic haul? Will “The Bear” break its own record? Those are the big questions heading into the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, which will be broadcast live coast-to-coast from Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, Sept. 15 at 8 p.m. Est/5 p.m Pst on ABC.
Hosted by father-son duo Eugene and Dan Levy, the main ceremony caps off a television year dominated by “Shōgun,” which already set a record for most Emmys by a drama series in a single year when it nearly swept the Creative Arts Emmys with 14. The FX drama, led by Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki Sanada, will attempt to beef up its overall take when it competes with eight nominations in six top categories: drama series, lead actor, lead actress, supporting actor, writing and directing. TheWrap’s awards guru Steve Pond boldly predicts “Shōgun” will go six for six on Sunday.

If you’re Jimmy Fallon or Horatio Sanz, Saturday Night Live screwups are a dime a dozen. But forget not being able to keep a straight face. When you’re doing live television, other things can — and do — go wrong, from uncontrollable animals to high-flying theatrics gone haywire.
Here are five times that SNL sketches went sideways — and there wasn’t a damn thing anyone could do about it…
1 Massive Head Wound Harry Play
When W.C. Fields said, “Never work with children or animals,” he was somehow predicting Massive Head Wound Harry, a sketch in which a dog decides to take comedy into its own paws.
The plan was always for the pooch to lick Harry’s unfortunate wound, but it wasn’t supposed to devour Dana Carvey’s head. The dog was so ravenous for the fake injury that Carvey got into a tug-of-war to keep it attached to his noggin.

When I interviewed Television Academy chairman Cris Abrego and president and CEO Maury McIntyre on Emmy nomination day, they indicated that despite low ratings for the star-studded 75th Emmys on Fox (delayed four months to January of this year), they were thrilled with its production and the nostalgia factor you probably could expect for such a major milestone year.
The pair indicated reunions and nostalgia for TV’s past would be returning to ABC’s turn at broadcasting Sunday’s Primetime Emmys, and just their luck — that network is battling DirecTV in a carriage dispute, and there is a possibility DirecTV customers won’t see the show and likely wins for Disney’s collection of networks. Those notably include FX, which picked up 21 Creative Arts Emmys over the weekend just for Shōgun and The Bear (seven) in their respective Drama Series and Comedy Series categories.

Exclusive: Ahead of the September theatrical release of Mom & Dad’s Nipple Factory, an award-winning feature doc from Daytime Emmy-winning director Justin Johnson (aka Justinsuperstar), Mayim Bialik has boarded the project as an executive producer.
Along with Hayley Lozitsky Weisser and Alyssa Wilden, she’s exec producing for her Sad Clown Productions, which has also acquired narrative rights to the project. Check out a trailer above.
Humorous and heartwarming, Mom & Dad’s Nipple Factory shines a light on the story of Johnson’s conservative parents. When mother Randi is diagnosed with breast cancer, her introverted husband Brian, a traditional family man, transforms their Midwest modest home into a secret prosthetic nipple laboratory, an act of love that blossoms into a truly unexpected business, kept hidden from their church, small-town community and five unsuspecting children.
