Saturday Night Live has been lagging on most of their sketches lately, but their musical performances are still on point. This weekend, Usher hit the SNL stage to sing his singles "Climax," and "Scream." Funny man Will Ferrell hosted the lackluster episode, but thankfully Andy Samberg made up for the lull via the show's 100th Digital Short.

Usher popped up in the spoof about taking self-pleasure to a whole new level, as did Justin Bieber. Check it out the hilarious clip after the jump.

SNL (Awesomely) Spoofs 2nd Presidential Debate [VIDEO]

0
0

Saturday Night Live was on point during last night's episode, hosted by Bruno Mars. The sketch comedy show opened with an utterly amazing spoof of the second presidential debate.

Making fun of reports that CNN moderator Candy Crowley played favorites during the verbal match-up between President Obama and Mitt Romney, the piece hit every nail on the head.

From the moments where it appeared that the two candidates were going to come to blows, to Romney's five point plan, SNL touched on it all.

Among the most hilarious quips was the question on Libya in which the Republican candidate claimed that the president failed to classify the Benghazi strike as a "terrorist acts." During the actual debate Crowley discredited Romney's allegations, and the SNL sketch showed the former governor pleading with the moderator not to make him look bad. "Candy no, no, no! Candy c'mon! Candy please!" he said, as Obama brushed the dirt off his shoulder.

There was even a scene where Tagg Romney pretended to protect his father by asking to fight the president, plus several examples of Obama's suave disposition with everyone from audience members to Crowley herself. Pure comedic gold.

Peep the video below.

Rihanna Performs "Diamonds"& Debuts New Song "Stay" On Saturday Night Live [VIDEO]

Last night, Rihanna was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. The Bajan Pop singer, Chris Brown buddy and prolific Instagram user hits the stage twice, performing her single "Diamonds" and a new song called "Stay."

You've surely heard "Diamonds" already while "Stay" is a piano chord filled power ballad (as far as Rihanna vocals go). Recently, who is on the "We Found Love" singer's album—that would be ex-boyfriend Chris Brown on a song called "Nobodies Business"—has been making as much news as the project itself.

Rihanna's new album, Unapologetic, will be in stores on November 19th. Watch the "Diamonds" performance below and "Stay" on the next page.

Saturday Night Live Spoofs Katt Williams [VIDEO]

0
0

Once Saturday Night Live starts spoofing you, you've officially "made it." Unfortunately for Katt Williams, being mimicked on the long-running sketch comedy program came for all the wrong reasons.

The comedian has made headlines for numerous arrests, and public outbursts, the most recent of which occurred Friday (Nov. 16). As previously reported, Williams showed up to his show in Oakland, Calif. but gave fans less than what they paid for. He told s few jokes, then threatened to attack and audience member, before cutting his set short.

Since SNL is short of black cast members, Jay Pharaoh was commissioned to play the role of Williams on last night's episode. Of course Pharaoh looks absolutely nothing like the comedian, but his impression was spot on. Aside from the boring but obligatory "pimp" and "raggedy b-tch" lines, Pharaoh sounding exactly like Williams, earns him major points.

Check out the sketch below.

Viewers Call Jamie Foxx's SNL Appearance "Racist" [VIDEO/PHOTOS]

0
0

Jamie Foxx hosting Saturday Night Live over the weekend wasn't full of rave reviews. Some viewers thought the sketches were extremely racist and stereotypical.

In his opening monologue, the Oscar winner asked and answered the rhetorical question “How Black is that?” From Jay-Z's small stake in, but big influence over, the Nets, to President Obama, and mention  of Foxx's forthcoming Django Unchained flick, he covered it all. “I got a new movie coming out, Django, check it out…Django Unchained, I play a slave. How Black is that? In the movie, I have to wear chains. How whack is that? But don't be worried about it, because I get out [of] the chains, I save my wife, and I kill all the White people in the movie. How great is that? And how Black is that?”

There was also a B-tch What's The Answer? skit helmed by Foxx who played a game show host repeatedly cutting off the contestants (one of which was a woman), by yelling out “B-tch what's the answer?”

Viewers also took issue with a skit where two White cast members mimicked Japanese people, which also featured Foxx at the end, as well as the Texas native playing a Hostess Ding-D0ng-turned-rapper.

Another sour spot was a digital short starring Kenan Thompson who played a pimp, selling Christmas trees.

Before long the comments started to roll in: “This @SNL skit is probably racist,”  tweeted one viewer.

The show as a whole got people pretty upset, but Foxx's comment about killing all the White people in his new film caught some flack. “Just learned tonight that Jamie Foxx is a racist P.O.S. so I decided not to watch any more of his movies. #SNL,” wrote another person, while someone else pegged the entire show as being terrible on all levels.“Wasn't Saturday's SNL the worst, most unfunny, most racist and sexist episode EVER? Made me almost feel dirty just to watch.”

But not everybody was upset about the show. One person (sarcastically?) noted that the episode wasn't politically correct, which is exactly what he expected. “SNL X BLACK HOST = EXTRA RACIST BAD SKITS #myfave

SNL has a reputation for offending and amusing, but just in case you want to decide for yourself, see Foxx's monologue below, plus click through some shots of some of the skits, and a few angry tweets.

Kendrick Lamar Performs "Swimming Pools (Drank)"&"Poetic Justice" On Saturday Night Live [VIDEO]

Remember when Kendrick Lamar was just considered an underground rapper? The secret has been out about the Compton rapper's rhyme talents, and last night he was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, performing  "Swimming Pools (Drank)" and "Poetic Justice."  

After a quick intro from host Adam Levine of Maroon 5, while rocking all black (including a black bubble vest and "Compton" skully), Kendrick jumped into a performance of "Swimming Pools (Drank)" backed by a live band and DJ. When he returned to perform "Poetic Justice" he removed the winter gear and rocked a black t-shirt and gold chain while performing the Scoop DeVille produced song, without its featured guest Drake.

No coincidence or surprise in the song selection. Both are from his critically acclaimed debut album good kid, m.A.A.d. city. The T-Minus produced "Swimming Pools (Drank)" was recently certified platinum. As for the Janet Jackson sampling "Poetic Justice," Lamar hopes to get Michael Jackson's sister to appear in the video to make the cypher complete.

While in New York, the former K. Dot swung through Funkmaster Flex's show on Hot 97 and dropped a mean freestyle over some classic instrumental.

Watch Kendrick Lamar perform "Swimming Pools (Drank)" below and "Poetic Justice" on the next page.

Justin Bieber Hosts SNL, Apologizes For Smoking Weed [VIDEO]

Justin Bieber hosted Saturday Night Live last night, wasting no time addressing his weed-smoking controversy. The teen crooner apologized for the whole thing, during a skit about Miley Cyrus.

Bieber played the president of the Miley Cyrus Fan Club, and gave his apology while still in character. "Miley you're seriously my favorite singer of all time. You're light years better than that douche Justin Bieber," he said.

"I heard he still has his baby teeth. I also heard he got busted for smoking weed and he's really sorry about it and that people make mistakes and he's never gonna do it again."

This is the first time that the 18-year-old has come right out and admitted to lighting up, after a photo of him with a blunt in his hand leaked online. Young Money rapper, Lil Twist, has been blamed for his friend's decent into Snoop Dogg's territory.

For his first time in the SNL driver's seat, Bieber was both the host and musical guest.

Miguel Performs "Adorn"&"How Many Drinks?" On SNL [VIDEO]

Looks like the mainstream is starting to catch up on Miguel. The R&B crooner was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live last night. 

The 27-year-old hit the stage sporting sunglasses and a leather jacket to set off a funky rendition his hit single "Adorn." When he returned, the singer performed the falsetto friendly "How Many Drinks?," which is the next proper single from his Kaleidoscope Dream album.

The aforementioned project was nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Urban Contemporary category this year but lost out to Frank Ocean's channel ORANGE. Recently, Miguel covered VIBE magazine and also took a fatal L in J. Cole's video for "Power Trip." That's just about the only time a case of the latter can still result in having a good week.

UPDATE: The Nike Air Yeezy 2 in the red colorway will release on June 18 and will be limited to 1000 pairs. Tickets to cop a pair will hidden in that Yeezus album you can't pre-order. Hope you know Yeezy...

A few weeks ago, Hip-Hop Wired gave you a look at Kanye West's red colorway of the Nike Air Yeezy 2. Word has since spread, and to tell the truth, you're probably one of many folks saving their pennies for the long-rumored release.

Sneaker heads grew more anxious when West sported the shoe during his Saturday Night Live performance.

Today, we receive a better look at some of the shoe's subtle details courtesy of Nike fiend jsusneaks. This includes an exotic glow in the dark effect, which is perhaps the most appealing revelation.

If you haven't notice, West has already propelled the anticipation for a shoe that has yet to be confirmed for public release. He wins.

We still won't back West's "the Yeezys jumped over the Jumpman" claims, but the Air Yeezy 2 is certainly one of the most sought after shoes in sneaker culture.

In any case, these are certified heat. Feel free to get a better look at the sneaker in the gallery below.

Eminem will make his return to Saturday Night Live on November 2, just three days before The Marshall Mathers LP 2 releases. It will be the Shady Records CEO's sixth appearance on the renowned sketch comedy show.

Scandal star Kerry Washington will host the episode, and you can expect Em to grace the stage with a performance as well. It's a great chance that his chart topping single "Berzerk" will be his song of choice.

Additionally, the muliplatinum rapper has released "Survival," and more recently, a six-minute long batch of bars aptly titled "Rap God."

Expect The Marshall Mathers LP 2 to hit shelves Tuesday, November 5. Clocking in at 16-tracks, guest appearances will include Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, Skylar Grey and more.

Janelle Monáe Performs "Dance Apocalyptic"&"Electric Lady" On SNL [VIDEO]

"Enigmatic" is a fitting title when it comes to describing Janelle Monáe. The Electric Lady singer has been captivating audiences since her entry into the game and now that her career is in full swing (and we do mean swing), she's really seeing her hard work shine on the center stage.

Which brings us to last night where she and her gang of Androids were the musical guests for SNL, hosted by Edward Norton.

Accented by a black and white backdrop with the coinciding colors to match, she tightroped her way to a rousing performance that featured no shortage of energy.

The more subdued "Electric Lady" was the selection for the next set as Ms. Monáe rocked the same 'ol two step and even busted out a flawless moonwalk while holding on to the microphone stand. If you're loving the music, it's readily accessible on her website right here.

Additionally, the ubiquitous Miley Cyrus appeared on the monologue to announce her new tour and comedian Taran Killam (of Nick Cannon's Wild 'N Out fame), dropped a special web-only Halloween ditty exclusive to your computer screen.

Check out all of the musical happenings of yesterday's SNL in the following gallery.

Black Women On Saturday Night Live "Will Happen" Says Creator

0
0

There has been a curious lack of black comediennes on the long-running late evening sketch comedy show, Saturday Night Live. After some mild controversy sparked by comments from troupe members Kenan Thompson and Jay Pharoah, the show's creator says signing black actresses is something that will occur in the future.

The Associated Press reported on the show's lack of diversity, noting that the last time a black woman held a post on SNL was Maya Rudolph, who left the series in 2007. Founding producer Lorne Michaels has spoken about the dearth of black comediennes on the show and appears committed to changing the racial landscape of the show.

From the AP:

Founding producer Lorne Michaels, who is still the show's top executive and generally keeps the casting process mysterious, said he's well aware of the issue and is on the lookout for black women as potential cast members.

“It's not like it's not a priority for us,” he said in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday night. “It will happen. I'm sure it will happen.”

Back in September, Pharoah publicly blasted SNL in an interview with TheGrio.com for not hiring black women for the troupe, mentioning Darmirra Brunson as a person that should be considered. Brunson seems ripe for the style of comedy SNL produces, considering much of her work is performed in sketches.

Thompson caught heavy criticism for a TV Guide interview where he seems to suggest black women aren't talented enough to make the SNL cast. Thompson, who often played female characters on the show, has decided he no longer wants to play those roles which makes spoofing black female celebrities a tough sell.

This weekend, buzzing actress Kerry Washington will host the program, which highlights a growing trend across the networks of black female leads and cast members among a variety of shows this current fall season. Washington stars as Olivia Pope in the mega-popular ABC series Scandal, and while she isn't known as a comedic actress fans will no doubt tune in to see her in a new element.

The Hollywood Reporter obtained a letter from ColorOfChange.org addressed to Michaels, inquiring about his hiring practices and the lack of diversity of the show.

Michaels has yet to publicly respond to the letter.

While the verdict is still on the outs for having a reoccurring Black actress on SNL, baby steps were taken on account of Kerry Washington, who held down hosting honors for the night.

The Scandal actress who, recently announced she was pregnant with her first child, filled in the blanks for roles only meant for a woman of color.

Lorne Michaels and the writers of the iconic sketch-comedy show didn't squander an opportunity to address the controversy with humor. Jay Pharoah is the token Black actor on the cast and during last night's episode, he was finally able to get proper Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey all from the sweat of Mrs. Washington.

Al Sharpton made a quick cameo to spoof his omnipresence with every civil altercation in popular media, as well as belt out the trademark, "Live from New York, it's Saturday night!"

If you're a fan of Scandal and Oliva Pope, you will surely enjoy seeing Kerry in a different light on the comedic side. See the gallery below for the best of her SNL performances and her photo ops in all her glowing glory.

Eminem Says He Didn't Lip-Sync On SNL But Did Use Vocal Track

0

Eminem was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live this weekend (Kerry Washington killed it) and performed a couple of tracks; "Berzerk" and "Survival." However, there is some chit-chatter over whether or not the Detroit rapper lip-synced, which he denies, sort of. 

Reports TMZ:

Eminem is claiming he didn't pull an Ashlee Simpson on "Saturday Night Live" this weekend ... TMZ has learned.

A rep for the rapper tells us Em was not lip-syncing during his performance of "Berzerk" ... but does admit he was using a vocal track underneath his live vocals.

Translation: live mic+vocal track = vocal help. Yes, technically ...it's not lip-syncing, but it's pretty damn close.

The rep adds, "He just likes this sound and if you listen to his albums they are done the same way."

Guilty conscience?

Call us old school, but we prefer when an MC rap strictly raps over an instrumental on stage, especially if you're paying good money to see them perform. Otherwise, we could listen to their tunes in the comfort of our own home.

Let us know what you think of Slim Shady's performance, which you can watch right here, in the comments.

Saturday Night Live Held Secret Black Comedienne Audition [PHOTOS]

NBC's longstanding sketch comedy institution, Saturday Night Live, has been quite thin on the racial diversity front. After the exit of three key players, six were added with not one person of color and only one woman. Perhaps realizing their earlier folly, SNL producers recently held a secret audition featuring nothing but Black comediennes.

The audition was held in Los Angeles at the Groundings Theater early last week, and the ladies were tipped off by an insider just two days prior to the showcase. Actress Bresha Webb, who stars in TV One's Love That Girl!, spoke exclusively with The Jasmine Brand about the audition and much more.

“The audition came about from an inside source from SNL. I don't think any of us had a clue about the showcase until two days prior,” shared Webb. “It was an awesome opportunity even though it was such a short notice but, if you stay ready you ain't gotta get ready and we were READY! Lol But we were all honored to be selected.”

The theme of sisterhood and solidarity was definitely present in a series of phone camera shots showing the comediennes gathered in a prayer circle prior to the showcase, and a group photo with the entire troupe.

Webb, who is also working on her own web series, missed a chance to try out last summer but made the most of her shot this year

"I found out that I was on a list of funny women in the industry and there was an opportunity for me to audition for SNL last summer," Webb said, "But, I was filming Love that Girl! and now the opportunity has represented itself."

Joining Webb were fellow actress-comediennes Gabrielle Dennis, Tiffany Haddish, Simonne Shepherd, and Darmirra Brunson.

Sasheer Zamata Is SNL's 1st Black Female Cast Member In 6 Years [PHOTOS]

0
0

The color blindness over in Saturday Night Live's dressing room has finally been met with a solution.

It was announced yesterday, January 6 that Sasheer Zamata will be a new permanent cast member for the longtime running sketch comedy show. It's hard to believe that since Maya Rudolph left the show in November of 2007, the crew didn't replace her with another woman of color to hold down various impersonations.

This, of course has opened them up to continuous criticism and left Keenan Thompson to pick up a lot of the slack (and a wig in the process).

The show even poked fun of its oversight last November when Kerry Washington hosted the show and ran a skit where her and the fourth wall collided as she kept having to switch African-American characters midway.

TMZ reports that Zamata has been on her grizzly bear grind in NYC for years and has been in talks with NBC for a permanent spot so possibly March of 2013.

As you in every fairy tale ending, hard work pays off in full. Venture over to her official website www.sasheer.com where you can get an up-to-date dose of her funny and hit the gallery for some sexy shots of the comedienne as well.

Drake held down hosting and performing duties on Saturday Night Live last night. The former Degrassi: The Next Generation actor looked comfortable as he played a variety of characters throughout the night.

The YMCMB rapper's wig game was hilarious as he played everything from Alex Rodriguez, to a Steve Urkel version of Lil Wayne to a morning news show anchor. While Drizzy's Katt Williams impression was pretty spot on, the Bar Mitvah monologue was a bit too stereotype heavy, though.

Drake hosting Saturday Night Live included double duty with him performing a pair of songs during each of his musical sets. The YMCMB rapper kicked renditions of “Started From The Bottom,” “Trophies,” “Hold On We’re Going Home” and “From Time.”

Under a red spotlight, Drizzy performed his hit “Started From The Bottom.” Near the song’s conclusion, the horns from “Trophies” are heard and he eventually performs the song’s chorus.

The second performance was a ballad version of “Hold On We’re Going Home” which eventually shifted into “From Time,” with singer Jhene Aiko joining him on stage.

Watch Drake perform “Started From The Bottom/Trophies” below and “Hold On We’re Going Home/From Time” on the flip. You can check out all of Drake’s acting on SNL right here.

Louis C.K. Stars As Clueless White Professor In SNL’s “Black Jeopardy” [VIDEO]

For anyone who has ever watched Jeopardy and experienced the shell shock PTSD of 10th grade history class, SNL has created a skit just for you.

Last night’s episode featured host Louis C.K. acting as a college professor of African-American studies on a game show skit titled “Black Jeopardy.” SNL has boosted up their Black roster considerably with the addition of Sasheer Zamata at the top of the year so they have more flexibility with their sketches.

Via Huffington Post:

“Black Jeopardy!” is hosted by Darnell Hayes or “Alex Treblack” (Kenan Thompson) and features categories such as “It’s Been A Minute,” “White People,” and “Psssh.” Let’s just say it’s not exactly what African Studies professor Mark (Louis C.K.) had in mind when he signed up.

Watch the sketch above to see how C.K.’s character reacts to the final “Jeopardy!” category (“Rap Songs That Begin With The Letter ‘N’”) as well as some hilarious responses from his fellow contestants played by Jay Pharoah and Sasheer Zamata.

Check out the hilarious (and stereotypical for the easily offended) skit in the video below.
