If you’re a fan of Adult Swim you might have caught Delocated on a random night/morning around 1:45am. The show was created by [...]

In Memoriam: Will Forte (Sort Of)
Well, it’s the end of a weird, absurdist, hit-and-miss era, as Will Forte and SNL announced their amicable separation today, after 8 years of professional bliss and uneven comedy.

‘SNL’: Say Fey Kid
(Title allusion here) Unless you’ve been living under a rock you probably know that Tina Fey has a new movie out. Between her appearances on Oprah, Live!, and Late Night (leaving behind a wake of Jamie Foxx-Oprah rumors and charades losses), she’s been pounding the pavement drumming up excitement for Date Night.

No ‘SNL’? No Problem? Jason Sudeikis Is Our Jam-a-Lam
I mistakenly thought that Tina Fey was hosting SNL this past weekend (so much so that I nearly flipped out on my DVR for failing to record the show). But I must have jumped the gun, as the show doesn’t return with host Fey and musical guest Justin Bieber until April 10 (and now that [...]
