SNL's "Basketball Scene" is Simply Magical


Jimmy Fallon hosted Saturday Night Live last weekend, and it had a handful of enjoyable sketches. Perhaps the most hilarious, though, was the very last one of the night. Fallon and Mikey Day serve as extras that are trying to simply play some basketball behind a dramatic scene starring Pete Davidson and Kenan Thompson. However, these extras don't really know much about basketball, despite having great experience like taking a sports movement class at Juilliard and starring in a recreation of Basketball Diaries

Ready Yet, Get Set, It's (An) All That (Reunion)!



You may have heard the news that Nickelodeon is re-airing a ton of its old shows on a new network called Splat. One such show is the fantastic All That.

To help celebrate the show's 22nd anniversary (certainly an odd number to celebrate), the cast APPEARS to be hinting at an All That reunion. Danny Tamborelli, Kel Mitchell, Josh Server, Lori Beth Denberg and Kenan Thompson make brief cameos in this video that features the hashtag #AllThatReunion.

Whether this new show will just feature the cast and crew reminiscing or will actually have new sketches remains to be seen, but one thing's for sure–it'll definitely be all that.

SNL Imagines Bushwick, Brooklyn in 2015, Now Overrun With Hipsters


Kevin Hart hosted SNL this past weekend. And the normally game actor was...well, game for anything. One of the highlights of the episode was a sketch with Hart, Jay Pharoah and Kenan Thompson, where they're hanging out on Bushwick in Brooklyn. Each story seems like it'll have a violent or misogynistic ending, but then there's a lil' bourgeois twist thrown in. Well done, writers. Well done.
