Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Confront Ryan Reynolds About Blake Lively Drama
During a joke Q&A segment during the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary special, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler asked guest Ryan Reynolds, 'Reynolds, how's it going?'
'Great,' Reynolds said, before asking in a self-conscious voice, 'Why, what have you heard?'
The joke got a lot of laughter and some applause from the audience; it was a reference to the heated ongoing legal battle between Reynolds' wife, Blake Lively, who smiled awkwardly beside her husband, and her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni.
Reynolds did not elaborate further on the topic, but he did ask Fey and Poehler if he should go to the hospital after eating some of the old Conehead props backstage. (Poehler told Reynolds to 'go to the hospital right away.')

Later in the segment, Fey and Poehler took a timely question from one-time host/recurring guest Peyton Manning.
'Is Lorne [Michaels] going to retire now?' he asked, in reference to the years of speculation over who would take the SNL showrunner's place when he steps down from the series.
When Fey and Poehler answered no, Manning elaborated, 'That's great news. Lorne: never retire! It's brutal out here.'
The former NFL star complained about all the commercials he's been doing lately, concluding, 'I hate being retired... Seriously Lorne: getting old sucks. I feel like such a loser. [Zach] Galifianakis knows what I'm talking about.'
Galifianakis, also in the audience, yelled back, 'Please stop bothering me, I just want to relax and watch Kanye perform!'
Another question from the audience came from Jon Hamm, who insecurely asked Fey and Poehler, 'Am I funny?'
Fey and Poehler assured the Mad Men star that he was, but their hearts clearly weren't in it.
Soon after, musician Bad Bunny asked them in Spanish if they thought he was funny. Poehler assured Bad Bunny in Spanish that he was, unlike poor Hamm.
Perhaps the most risqué joke of the sketch came from former cast member Fred Armisen, who complained about a sketch of his that got cut in 2005.
When Fey and Poehler assured him that he could resubmit the sketch, Armisen replied, 'Great! Next time Spacey hosts!'

Ariana Grande's Jennifer Coolidge Impression Wasn't the Most-Watched ‘SNL' Sketch of the Season, This Recurring Character Was
After a historic year for 'Saturday Night Live,' the comedy series ranked their most viral sketches from Season 50, and Ariana Grande's performances came out on top. The 'Wicked' star made her presence known at Studio 8H during her press tour for the blockbuster, with three of her sketches cracking the top five most-watched performances of the season. The pop singer's Jennifer Coolidge impression came in as the 4th most-watched sketch of the season. Grande and Chloe Fineman mirrored their impressions of the 'White Lotus' star as they tested out Maybelline's latest lip product. But the recurring sketch that dominated the season was another one of Grande's: 'Domingo.' The Oscar nominee was joined by a cast of bridesmaids to toast the bride with an original song to the tune of Sabrina Carpenter's 'Espresso.' Grande's ability to sing off-key went viral on social media, leading the cast to bring back the sketch format twice more during the season — once for Charli XCX's episode and a third time during the 50th Anniversary special, featuring Carpenter herself. 'Domingo: Babymoon' was the second-most watched sketch of the season. Another sketch from the 'Thank U, Next' singer that was third most-watched overall was 'Castrati,' in which she plays a young boy who is castrated at eight or nine years old to preserve his falsetto singing voice. Her face of general disgust and horror as Antonio became a meme on social media, gaining traction for the sketch across platforms. Several of Timothée Chalamet's performances also cracked the Top 10 most-watched sketches, including his performance as a barista-in-training and a bungee workout instructor. Here's the full list of the top sketches of 'SNL' Season 50: 'Domingo: Bridesmaid Speech' feat. Ariana Grande 'Domingo: Babymoon' feat. Charli XCX 'Castrati' feat. Ariana Grande 'Maybelline' feat. Ariana Grande 'Mid-Day News 2' feat. Shane Gillis 'Bungee' feat. Timothée Chalamet 'Port Authority Duane Reade' feat. John Mulaney 'New Barista Training' feat. Timothée Chalamet 'Washington's Dream 2' feat. Nate Bargatze 'Shrek: The Musical' feat.

Bryan Cranston reveals his disgusting 'SNL' sketch idea as host that was 'immediately shut down'
Six-time Emmy-winning actor Bryan Cranston, currently seen making elaborate basketball shots in The Phoenician Scheme, stopped by the Fly on the Wall podcast studio to gab with David Spade and Dana Carvey this week. Naturally, the conversation turned to when Cranston hosted Saturday Night Live back in 2010. While SNL maintains a robust writing staff, the official policy is to allow, even encourage, the guest stars to pitch ideas for their appearances. (It's tough coming up with new sketches week to week, so any help is welcome, we suppose.) This does not mean, however, that these suggestions automatically get greenlit, as Cranston soon learned. "I just wanted to do anything. I had a couple pitches for them," Cranston told the two SNL alumni. "I pitched ideas which were almost immediately shut down. I had a great pitch." Cranston continued with this "great pitch." You be the judge: "So: myself and a date and another couple. We can't believe we got reservations for this restaurant. It's supposed to be amazing. It's called In the Sauce, and it's like, wow. And this very snooty waiter comes in and says, 'Are you ready?' Can we see a menu? 'No. We don't give menus. We serve you food. You eat the food. You leave.' You know? It's like, oh, okay. Yes. Yes. Yes." So far, so good. We are primed for some comedy. What's coming next? "And they say," Cranston went on, "'It's all about the sauce.' So he puts down a crudite, and we dip it in the sauce, and it's, like, oh my god. Just amazing. Crudite is taken away. Here comes the entree. You're eating the entree. We're eating. Oh my god, this sauce is absolutely insane. We're overeating. We eat too much. We throw up." It gets better! "We dip the barf in the sauce. Oh my god. It's all about the sauce. It's like no matter what you're eating, as long as the sauce is good. It's like, you have a severed finger and you dip it in the sauce and it's still good." Cranston concluded, "It didn't get past the Monday meeting," before adding, "I truncated that pitch. It goes much longer." Heaven only knows where Cranston came up with such a repulsive idea, but it is possible he was inspired in some way by the legendary character Mr. Creosote from the 1983 film Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. One could argue that this sketch is a pointed commentary about class inequality, or you could also say it was Python's attempt to make everyone in the audience as sick to their stomach as possible. You can take a look at it below, but don't watch this at work. Honestly, don't watch this at all. Well, with that fresh in your mind, you can now move ahead and listen to more of Bryan Cranston with the Fly on the Wall fellas by clicking the link below.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Spotted Kissing in Multiple Fan Videos From Last Night
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce could. not. stop. being adorable last night. In case you missed their surprise appearance, the pair showed up to the Stanley Cup Final in Florida—where they're currently spending time while Travis trains for the NFL season. Their general vibe? But Taylor and Travis were also caught on camera kissing and cuddling multiple times from multiple angles and can't lie: The footage (gathered by @swifferupdates) is extremely sweet. Literally me after watching these videos: FYI, all this romance comes amid a source telling People, 'Taylor is really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season' thanks to it being the first full season that she hasn't also been juggling a tour schedule. 'This fall will be completely different,' the source said. 'It's the first season where she's not constantly flying back and forth or working around an entire touring calendar. The past two seasons were a whirlwind between performing across multiple countries, long flights, and trying to squeeze in alone time together wherever possible. It wasn't easy but they made it work. Her schedule is much more open now that the Eras Tour is wrapped and she's genuinely excited to have the time and flexibility to show up for Travis more consistently.' Apparently, Taylor will be at 'as many of his games as possible,' so get ready. You Might Also Like Here's What NOT to Wear to a Wedding Meet the Laziest, Easiest Acne Routine You'll Ever Try
