Slate recaps: Alec Baldwin’s Trump was great last week but better this time; he must have spent the whole week in front of a mirror practicing grotesque facial expressions. His awkward attempt to “apple-a-gize” before reducing Strong to shivers with a “Bop-It” inspired description of his pussy-grabbing technique is spot on. (There’s a sentence no one ever expected to have …

Rolling Stone recaps: Season 42 of Saturday Night Live opened with its much-anticipated parody of the first presidential debate, which pitted Kate McKinnon’s Hillary Clinton against Alec Baldwin’s pitch-perfect Donald Trump. In the cold open, Lester Holt, played by Michael Che, asked many of the same questions the two candidates faced Monday night, including how they would create more jobs …

TIME recaps: Larry David reprised his role as Bernie Sanders on Saturday Night Live to share a beer with Kate McKinnon’s Hillary Clinton as the two exchanged friendly barbs and reminisced about their Democratic primary battle. David joins McKinnon at the bar after she insists to the bartender that she’s won the nomination. “I’ve done it! I mean, no I …

From the New York Daily News: Donald Trump can’t make up this kind of publicity. Darrell Hammond returned as the wannabe president on “Saturday Night Live” after reports revealed that for decades, Trump posed as fabricated publicists shilling his “tremendous” accomplishments. “Mr. Trump is the real life inspiration for Iron Man,” said Hammond, a now permanent fixture as Trump on …

The Daily Beast recaps: This week marked the first new Saturday Night Live episode since Donald Trump became the Republican presidential nominee. They had to go there. And they did so with special guest Dana Carvey reprising his celebrated Church Lady character to talk about a general election matchup “between a godless liberal Democrat… and Hillary Clinton.” After sharing her …

Earlier this week Pat Boone declared that the Satan worshipers at Saturday Night Live would “pay the consequences” from White Jesus due to their sacrilegious mocking. Today Boone declares that every performer should pay consequences to the federal government should they commit blasphemy. Brian Tashman reports at Right Wing Watch: In an interview last night with Alan Colmes, Boone said …

“God has a sense of humor. Why else would he invent the porcupine and the giraffe? Something can be devilishly funny, but this skit is diabolical. God has only one real enemy — Satan. Satan ridicules faith, and they’re taking Satan’s side. They’re also ridiculing me and the film, telling impressionable young people not to see it because it’s ridiculous. …

Raw Story sets up the video: In the clip — from the makers of God On The Run and Angel In Denim: The Kim Davis Story — cast member Vanessa Bayer plays a “small town baker without a care” until a same-sex couple demands she bake their wedding cake, causing her faith to be “tested.” Despite being told by a …

Last night’s SNL cold open took on this week’s Democratic debate, with Larry David returning as Bernie Sanders to engage in a literal slap-fight with Kate McKinnon’s Hillary. The sketch turned into a raft of Seinfeld in-jokes via host Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who lobbed questions as Elaine Benes. Watch below.

The Hill recaps: “Saturday Night Live” in its latest show poked fun at Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton over her string of recent losses. “It’s true, I have not been winning as of late. In fact, I have not won a state in almost three weeks,” cast member Kate McKinnon, as Clinton, said in the show’s opening. “Clinton” said she …

Mediaite recaps: This week’s Saturday Night Live opened, as expected, with a sketch devoted to Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump‘s troubles with women, but approached the subject by lampooning colorful Donald Trump supporter Scottie Nell Hughes, who starred in her own bonkers CNN segment this week. In between the repartee’ between SNL‘s Kate Bolduan and the quirky Hughes, the bit …

Mediaite recaps: This week’s Saturday Night Live didn’t spare former secretary of State and Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton, cutting the candidate with a razor-sharp spoof commercial that lampooned Clinton’s carefully-workshopped patter and eagerness for votes. Most hilariously (or Hillary-ously?), Kate McKinnon‘s Hillary undergoes a most drastic and surprisingly convincing transformation into Bernie Sanders at the end of the spot.

Via Mediaite: This week’s Saturday Night Live followed up its Trump-centered “campaign coverage” of the 2016 presidential race with another shot at Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, this time in the form of a dead-on campaign ad parody. The spot rolls out looking like every other slice-of-America campaign spot, and even though it telegraphs the reveal, the gag pays off …

Mediaite reviews: This week’s scattershot Saturday Night Live cold open featured round-robin “campaign coverage” of the 2016 presidential race, including shots at that Chris Christie endorsement/hostage video that now seems like ancient history, Ted Cruz‘s debate booger incident, but most of all, Donald Trump cutting right to the chase about his “manhood.” “P.S., America, I have a great big huge …

Via Rolling Stone: As promised, Bernie Sanders made an appearance on the Larry David-hosted episode of Saturday Night Live. However, instead of the Democratic hopeful simply acting as himself alongside David’s perfect impression of the Vermont senator, Sanders was pulled into a sketch that highlighted his views on democratic socialism and the 1-percent. The sketch opens up with David and …

Tomorrow night Bernie Sanders will make a cameo appearance on Saturday Night Live, hopefully to crash host Larry David’s dead-on impression. From the Washington Post: As of Friday morning, it was unclear what Sanders’s role on the long-running late-night comedy show would be. The person familiar with his plans spoke on the condition of anonymity because neither “Saturday Night Live” …

“I’m sure many of you saw Tina Fey, who sounds nothing like my mom, do a skit based on my Mom’s endorsement of Donald Trump. I don’t know about you, but hearing her fake accent is like nails on a chalkboard for me! I may be biased, but I think my mom trumps her in the looks department. (Especially for …

You knew this was coming. The Daily Beast recaps: As the whole world predicted this past week, the return of Sarah Palin to the national stage in order to endorse Donald Trump for president meant the return of Tina Fey to Saturday Night Live. It couldn’t have taken long for Lorne Michaels to reach out to his Palin-impersonating all-star, and …

Via Salon: Saturday Night Live was merciless in its mockery of the 6th Republican Debate that was on Fox Business News on Thursday. The cold opening of the show featured Fox moderators claiming that if at any point poll numbers dropped during the debate a loud gong would sound and they’d be pulled off stage. If only the real debates …

Tina Fey returned to Saturday Night Live this weekend to renew her famed impression of Sarah Palin. Today Palin returns the favor in a video from the group that gave us Ted Cruz frying bacon on a gun and Lindsey Graham destroying his cell phone in a blender. Via Mediaite: Palin stars in the newest IJR video in a parody …
