It'll be a while until we get a new episode, sadly, but at least we can rewatch the past season's funny episodes.

Andrea Mitchell on Rebuilding Faith in the News Media: ‘Trust Is the Coin of the Realm, and We Have to Be the Gold Standard'
The Peabody Awards will honor veteran NBC News' Chief Washington and Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent Andrea Mitchell with the Career Achievement Award, and the landmark sketch comedy series 'Saturday Night Live' with the Institutional Award during a June 1 ceremony in Beverly Hills. Now in its 85th year, the Peabody Awards recognize the importance of storytelling and of narratives irrespective of genre or platform, whether the show be entertainment, news, a documentary, children's programing, radio, podcasting or a video game. More from Variety Kenan Thompson Suggests 'A Lot of Change' Is Coming For 'SNL' Season 51: 'You Want Everyone to Stay Forever' Michael Che Gives Humiliating Apology to Scarlett Johansson for Lewd 'SNL' Jokes: 'I Was Just Lashing Out Because I'm Jealous ... I've Never Seen a Human Vagina' 'SNL': Kanye West Parodied, Says 'I'm in the KKK Now' in Wild Sketch With Mike Myers Jeffrey P. Jones, executive director of the Peabody Awards, says that Mitchell's long, distinguished career as a journalist at various capacities covering the White House and international affairs — and the gravity of both of those positions — makes her an obvious choice for the award. 'It's someone like that who's had such a career in the public eye, we felt as if it was important to recognize not just that longevity, but the quality of her work and the importance of what quality journalism looks like in 2025. There's a lot of new and challenging understandings of what constitutes professional quality journalism. What better way than to demonstrate somebody who, for 30 years, has done it right?' Mitchell isn't just flattered by the acknowledgement, she says, 'I can't tell you how thrilled I am. This is the ultimate recognition in our profession, and it's not just personally from my career, but also just how far we've come in broadcast journalism and how much television has been transformed since I first started. It means a lot to be the first woman to receive [the Career Achievement Award for journalism]. It is such a signature achievement.' After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 1967, Mitchell was hired as a reporter for KYW radio in Philadelphia. When she first started as a journalist, she was told that women couldn't be in the newsroom. 'And now I look around and I have a woman bureau chief and a woman president of NBC News and women producers and colleagues and women at every level in our newsroom, throughout the company here in New York, around the world. So there is so much ratification,' she says. And Mitchell has been at the forefront of that progress for women journalists, beginning in 1972 when she covered both the Republican and Democratic presidential conventions. She also covered all the Gorbachev-Reagan summits and the end of the Cold War, and interviewed everyone from Margaret Thatcher to Fidel Castro. 'I mean, who gets to do that?' she asks with a laugh. 'When I think about having a front row in history, it's such a responsibility because it's through our reports — through my reports, as well as my colleagues — that the American people get to experience all of these historic events. So that raises the bar in terms of how important it is to get our facts right. And to always be accurate and to share so much about how we're communicating history to people.' The blurring of lines between 'news' and 'entertainment,' fueled by the spreading of fake news has snowballed into a major threat against the responsibility of the Fourth Estate, which has become more important than ever. Social media — and before that, talk radio and every other transformation of the way people consume news — has complicated what true journalists do. Their standards have to be in violet. 'They have to be accurate and fair and doing justice to the story, providing context analysis when it is appropriate, but not opinion,' Mitchell explains. 'You have to be true to your mission, and that is providing context and facts to your audiences, It doesn't matter what the platform is. We evolve with the technology, but the mission remains the same. … Trust is the coin of the realm, and we have to be the gold standard. We have to be absolutely right all the time. Getting something first is never as important as getting it right.' And that is the sage advice Mitchell offers young, aspiring journalists coming up in the ranks: Do your homework. 'The best political reporters are the people who like to talk to people. If you don't like people and you don't want to ask questions and ask people about themselves and their lives, then I don't think you're going to ever rise to the level of, certainly, broadcast journalism. I mean, maybe there are other formats where you can fake it, but it's too transparent. You're too visible. People get it when you're not authentic.' While Mitchell has covered the serious side of politics and history, 'SNL' has taken a tongue-in-cheek approach — but without pulling punches. 'Beyond being one of the longest programs on television, let's just count the ways in which 'Saturday Night Live' revolutionized so many facets of television itself,' says Jones. 'It helped define American television, for better or worse, what political humor and satire looks like. And one can't overstate the importance of Lorne Michaels as a creative and to having the vision for that 50 years ago, and then for making a show that people still tune into week after week. Given that 'SNL' is in its 50th year, we felt it was an appropriate time to tip our hat to them as a landmark television show that's 'an institution.''

Knicks vs. Pacers: Tyrese Haliburton takes swipe at Ben Stiller after Indiana bounces New York from playoffs
Tyrese Haliburton got the win and the last word. Check back in 25 or 30 years to see if the barbs Haliburton and actor/director Ben Stiller exchanged during the Eastern Conference finals will have the enduring memory of the feud between Reggie Miller and Spike Lee. But in the culture of 2025, the Indiana Pacers star scored a strong final zinger against the New York Knicks superfan. Advertisement Prior to Saturday's Game 6 matchup, a clip of Haliburton arriving at the Pacers' home arena of Gainbridge Fieldhouse circulated online. The two-time All-Star cut an imposing figure walking down a corridor dressed all in black, referencing the Knicks doing the same before last year's Game 6 playoff matchup. But in response to the video, Stiller focused on the duffel bag Haliburton was carrying. "Good thing he brought his duffel for the flight to NY," Stiller quipped. It was a good line from Stiller, implying that the Knicks would win Game 6 and send the series back to Madison Square Garden for a decisive Game 7. But it rang hollow approximately six hours later when the Pacers won, 125-108, and eliminated New York from the NBA playoffs. Advertisement After scoring 21 points with 13 assists, Haliburton responded while celebrating Indiana's victory. "Nah, was to pack y'all up," he replied, following up an on-court win with a social media win. Stiller showed he was a good sport and no hard feelings lingered, wishing Haiburton and the Pacers well in their NBA Finals matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. "Congrats," he said. "All the best in OKC." So will Haliburton start trading digs with any celebrity Thunder fans during the NBA Finals? Maybe with legendary WWE broadcaster Jim Ross? Is "Saturday Night Live" alum and "Barry" star Bill Hader on social media? Would sniping back and forth with actor James Marsden bring the same juice? Perhaps an opponent will rise once the NBA Finals begin on Thursday.

Drake's Historic Hot 100 Record Has Been Matched — Again
Morgan Wallen ties Drake as his I'm the Problem album has now produced nine Hot 100 top 10 hits, ... More matching Certified Lover Boy — while both. stars trail Taylor Swift. TORONTO, CANADA - JANUARY 13: Rapper Drake leaves the court following the NBA game between the Toronto Raptors and the Golden State Warriors at Scotiabank Arena on January 13, 2025 in Toronto, Canada. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by downloading and or using this photograph, User is consenting to the terms and conditions of the Getty Images License Agreement. (Photo by) Drake is, in many respects, the most successful artist ever when it comes to the Hot 100. The Canadian rapper has charted hundreds of songs on Billboard's ranking of the most consumed tracks in America, and though he doesn't claim every record, his legacy is secure. One of Drake's most impressive Hot 100 showings is matched this week — not by another rapper or even a pop superstar — but by the biggest name in country music to emerge in quite some time. Morgan Wallen's new album I'm the Problem debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with the largest opening sum of 2025. Several tracks from the project reach the Hot 100's top 10 for the first time, with several opening in that space and others surging. Wallen is joined by Tate McRae at No. 1 with "What I Want," which debuts in the highest space. The brand new tune "I Got Better" opens at No. 7. At the same time, "Superman," which was released earlier in May as a promotional cut, breaks into the loftiest tier for the first time. The track originally kicked off its time at No. 16 but now rockets to No. 8 in its second stay on the tally. As "What I Want" and "I Got Better" debut inside the top 10 and "Superman" reaches No. 8, Wallen's I'm the Problem has now produced nine top 10 hits on the Hot 100. His full-length is just the fourth in history to score that many smashes, and Wallen is now tied with Drake at this figure. Drake's Certified Lover Boy also produced nine top 10 successes on the Hot 100 when it was brand new. He managed the feat in September 2021 when he occupied all but one slot inside the uppermost region on the ranking. Only one musician has conquered the entirety of the top 10 in one fell swoop — and she's managed to do so twice. Taylor Swift became the first artist to accomplish the incredible showing with her album Midnights, which sent its brand new cuts into the highest region. She repeated that showing and even expanded her reach to dominate the entire 14 highest spaces at one time with 2024's The Tortured Poets Department.
