This past Saturday, they finally got around to producing a short for the hilarious and catchy song, “Boombox” from their album Incredibad.

Now This is a Wedding Band….

When Saturday Night Live is on, its on and the past two weeks have been pretty darn near classic episodes.

Must Read: Dear Andy Kaufman, I Hate Your Guts!

Ever since I received Dear Andy Kaufman, I Hate Your Guts! its been difficult to put the coffee table-style book down.

Kaufman, best known for his [...]

Really?!? Hits All the Right Targets

Last night the funny returned to NBC and as expected, Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers gave a little special “Really?!?” treatment to the likes of Joe Wilson, Kanye West and some more deserving fellas. Not sure I’m in love with the idea of weekly half hour versions of Weekend Update, but last night’s definitely had [...]

Is Justin Timberlake the Best Host for SNL?

I remember back in the day, when watching “Saturday Night Live” was essential for my well being. There were few repeat hosts, like Steve Martin, Tom Hanks and Alec Baldwin, who did so well they came back more than five times, creating the successful Five-Timers Club. I wasn’t sure if some of the more [...]

Efron Mania Hits SNL and The View

So I have to hand it to my new celeb crush Zac Efron for doing a bang up job as host of Saturday Night Live this weekend. From start to finish, Efron was not only charming but a consummate performer. He sang, danced and joked along with the best of them. If [...]

Ok I Give In.. Zac Efron We Can Be Friends Now!

So it’s been brewing for a bit, and believe me I have been fighting it with all my energy, but I think I am beginning to seriously fall for Zac Efron. Zac has seemingly been working over time to get into my good graces and after seeing the commercials for his upcoming film [...]
