Saturday Night Live's milestone 50th season ended last week, but the laughs are still coming ... in the form of bloopers

NBC has released a full three minutes of hilarious oopsie-daisies and cast members breaking from the 2024-25 season of SNL. The collection includes moments from live shows, pretaped videos, dress rehearsals, and stage promos.

The video opens with Ego Nwodim as her "Miss Eggy" stand-up comedian persona reacting in shock when the audience shouts "Sh-t!" after she asks, "Cause these men ain't what?" The audio was later cut to avoid an FCC fine, but viewers can still watch Weekend Update anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che cracking up in the background. "Lorne gonna be mad at y'all," Nwodim said in reference to showrunner Lorne Michaels.

More gut-busting SNL Season 50 bloopers include the following:

Sarah Sherman giggling after kissing a monkey puppet in front of a green screen Shane Gillis...

“SNL” host Scarlett Johansson introduced the “Please Don’t Destroy” trio to first-class flying in last night’s final installment of the season, but things took a sour note when the group realized they’d be landing at the problem-plagued Newark Liberty International Airport — and doing so at the mercy of newbie airport controller Bad Bunny.

The sketch began with Johansson, who hosted the season finale, offers to pay for a first-class trip for the group. Upon boarding the plane the surroundings turned into a rap video set, with Johansson dropping a few bars of her own.

Things took a downward turn after the actress told the guys they would be landing at Newark — the very same airport that has contended with outages and scaled back operations in recent weeks. John Higgins stopped to ask if planes have been crashing at Newark, but Ben Marshall answered, “I think they’re just losing them.

In the final Please Don’t Destroy video for the season, the depressed trio were treated to a little vacation complete with first-class airline tickets courtesy of the finale’s host Scarlett Johansson. Ben Marshall, John Higgins and Martin Herlihy were enjoying the perks of first class alongside glam track suit-wearing Johansson — breaking into a song and dance — until she mentioned that they would be landing at Newark, the New Jersey airport whose recent air traffic control woes have been making national headlines.

The guys’ concerns were soon validated as the pilots of their plane couldn’t make contact with Newark and their navigation screens went black. In the shaking first-class cabin, emergency signs came on, with playing hands flashing next to the “no smoking” light.

“Looks like this is it guys. Anything to get off your chest?,” Herlihy yelled.

“This might sound corny but the only thing I regret is...

As Saturday Night Live closes out its 50th season, who better to host the finale than Scarlett Johansson? The two-time Oscar nominee (Marriage Story and JoJo Rabbit) is no stranger to Studio 8H: in addition to hosting six previous times, she's also married to Weekend Update host Colin Jost, making it easier for her to pop up for some surprise cameos here and there.

This year on the film circuit, Johansson is reuniting with Asteroid City director Wes Anderson for The Phoenician Scheme, and she's also starring in the upcoming Jurassic World: Rebirth. Here are the best moments from Johansson's latest SNL hosting gig, from the opening monologue to the best sketches.

Luckily, it’s got the TV vets and comedic actors to pull off the ridiculous premise with brilliant execution. Kumail Nanjiani and Gaby Hoffman lead a fun ensemble this time around.

Natasha Lyonne is back on the road for Season 2 of Poker Face, and she brought a few old friends along for the ride.

While discussing the star-studded guest roster of the Peacock show’s sophomore season, the first three episodes available to stream May 8, the actress admitted to Deadline that she wasn’t entirely sure if she’d previously worked with ‘The Sleazy Georgian’ actor John Cho.

“I think that he’s maybe in some of the American Pies,” she said. “I’ll be honest, I haven’t seen those. I did see the first one at the premiere. I do love Chris and Paul Weitz. I do talk a lot of shit about that movie, it’s mostly just because I don’t understand high school or proms or suburbia.”

Plot: Poker Face is a mystery-of-the-week series following Natasha Lyonne’s Charlie, who has an extraordinary ability to determine when someone is lying. She hits the road with her Plymouth Barracuda and with every stop encounters a new cast of characters and strange crimes she can’t help but solve.

Review: While Rian Johnson revived the whodunit on the big screen with Knives Out and the Netflix sequel Glass Onion, his charmingly retro small-screen series Poker Face has truly proven its worth in the tried-and-true genre. Echoing classic shows like Columbo and The Rockford Files, Poker Face‘s first season centered on Charlie Cale (Natasha Lyonne), who solved mysteries while on the run from gangsters looking to kill her. The overarching narrative of the first season was engaging, but the standalone mysteries boasting famous guest stars turned Poker Face into must-watch programming. After a two-year wait, Poker Face is back with another ten mysteries,...

While Rian Johnson fans are undoubtedly waiting in eager anticipation for Wake Up Dead Man to release later this year, they will have season two of his Peacock show Poker Face to hold them over. Offering another set of clever, funny, and exciting mysteries, season two of Poker Face sees the show and its crew take some exciting, ambitious swings that establish it as one of the best shows right now.

Poker Face Season 2 Review

“I can tell when someone’s lying,” Charlie (Lyonne) says in the Wednesday trailer for the series as she tries to sniff out Cynthia Erivo’s true identity. “It’s a thing I do, so who are you?”

Charlie can also be seen telling John Cho’s character that no one can stump her. “Game on Charlie Cale,” the alleged professional liar replies. “I’m going to be the first.

After its Season 2 renewal in February 2023, Rian Johnson’s and Natasha Lyonne’s Poker Face, the case-of-the-week mystery series, will be back for more sleuthing this year.

Season 1 of the Peacock show featured 10 episodes of Lyonne’s Charlie Cale, a Vegas casino worker whose keen sense of honesty leads to a Columbo-style show and reverse detective format. Johnson, who also has Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery in the works with a stacked cast, describes the show as a “howcatchem” versus a “whodunit” which is the format of the Knives Out and Glass Onion films.

The Please Don’t Destroy guys set their sights on spoofing The Voice this week by having Shane Gillis play a singer they’d very much like to forget.

Ego Nwodim joined Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy as coaches on the fictitious show The Sound. Nwodim played R&b model Coco Summers, Higgins was pop producer Mikey Fiesta Marshall was country swinger Cody Swiggums, and Herlihy played rock icon Eddie Thrashhorn in the bit that employed the requisite revolving chairs and red buttons.

The foursome were immediately bowled over when they hear an angelic version of “Amazing Grace” — only to turn around to find Shane Gillis as a red-haired, scooter-driving hillbilly named Reggie doing the singing.

“Let the bidding war begin,” he declared. “Who wants me?”

The coaches immediately turn back their chairs.

Saturday Night Live‘s 50th anniversary special is casting a long shadow, or maybe just causing a long hangover, at least as depicted in SNL‘s latest promo featuring this week’s guest host Shane Gillis and various still-reeling cast members.

In the promo – watch it above – Gillis is greeted in the studio by cast member Ashley Padilla, who tries to reassure the host that the cast is fully recovered from the big party and ready to play.

Gillis isn’t persuaded – a snoring Michael Longfellow (or is it Marcello Hernandez?) is passed out, Mikey Day is wandering around in Sarah Sherman’s clothes and Please Don’t Destroy’s Ben Marshall, John Higgins and Martin Herlihy are arguing over which one of them is Ben.

The ante is upped with the arrival of a remorseful Emil Wakim, who asks if anyone knows a “good tattoo removal guy.” Nothing good ever...

There’s finally official content available for the much-anticipated second season of Peacock’s Poker Face starring Natasha Lyonne. While the streamer didn’t announce a season two premiere date, it teased that the 12-episode new season will arrive this spring.

“Charlie Cale is back on the run, and in season two we’ve taken her journey to the next level one murder mystery at a time. From minor league baseball to big box retail, from funeral homes to alligator farms and even a grade school talent show, Charlie navigates her crime-solving existential road trip with deadpan wit, human empathy, and her signature uncanny lie-detecting ability,” wrote series creator, writer, director, and executive producer Rian Johnson and series star director, writer, and executive producer Natasha Lyonne in a joint statement released with the first photos.

We’ve got a window for when Poker Face returns, so here’s a peek when you can see the return of TV’s most unusual crime solver!

Poker Face was a huge winner with audiences and critics when it debuted on Peacock in 2023. It’s been a longer wait for season 2 as the show was delayed by issues such as the 2023 Hollywood strikes and the busy schedule of creator Rian Johnson.

Poker Face revolves around Charlie Cale (Natasha Lyonne), a Vegas card shark who has the uncanny ability to know when someone is lying. After she inadvertently causes the death of a mobster’s son, Charlie goes on the run. As fate would have it,...

Natasha Lyonne and Rian Johnson's hit streaming series, Poker Face, is set to return this year. And, well? The list of people they've finagled to guest star in Season 2 is actually unhinged. Like, the list of people who are going to be on this show is truly outrageous and unfathomable to someone like me, a person who does not cast television shows. But if I did? And I managed to pull this off? I'd be screaming it from the rooftop, folks. Because this cast list?

And it seems that Lyonne and Johnson recognize that, sending along a note with the press release teasing the series' forthcoming slate of episodes. And though we don't know the exact premiere date yet — all it says is "Spring 2025" — we do know the 12, 60-minute-long episodes will feature Many very,...
