Tina Fey

We really should have something like The Graham Norton Show over here in the U.S. — it's less formal and formulaic, and far more entertaining than our typical late night offerings. It's a show where guests like Kurt Russell and Tina Fey can just hang out and talk and goof off and do amazing things like recreate the famous "I love you" scene from The Empire Strikes Back.

Sisters is facing quite a challenge with the unfortunate release date of December 18, the same day as Star Wars: The Force Awakens — not that you needed reminding, since you’ve had that date etched in your brain for over a year. But Tina Fey and Amy Poehler don’t seem bothered by this in the slightest, as their latest promotional video for Sisters finds them spoofing The Force Awakens with The Farce Awakens. And really, how can you deny their combined super-power?

It’s a tale as old as the adolescent impulse for illicit shenanigans: Mom and Dad are out of the house, which means that it’s time for a boozy rager the likes of which will shake the suburban setting to its very core. Except the sisters throwing this bacchanalian shindig aren’t mischievous teens making their first nervous forays into the adult worlds of drinking and licentiousness; they’re two of the funniest women on the planet, both of whom have gracefully passed the forty-year mark.

SNL bounced back nicely from Donald Trump this past weekend with The Hunger Games star Elizabeth Banks, looking even bigger this coming Saturday with Matthew McConaughey and Adele, but December 2015 will really go all out. Our final three hosts of the year include Ryan Gosling, Chris Hemsworth (poor Liam), and best of all, a dual Sisters hosting with SNL alum Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

Sometimes, you don't realize how much you value an actor until they have a brush with death. That's how the internet felt when Tracy Morgan was in a car accident a year ago and his injuries kept him away from the spotlight for a long time. But now Morgan is back, healthy enough to host SNL, and reuniting with the cast members of the other great show he was on.

Last years Oscars host Neil Patrick Harris said almost immediately after the broadcast that he “doubted” he would ever do it again, explaining, “I don’t know that my family nor my soul could take it.” Which, of course, meant that the search for a replacement was on almost immediately. But, if you’re looking for just one person, you may be barking up the wrong tree. This year’s Oscars producers say “there will be multiple hosts for sure.”

The state of NBC comedy has grown increasingly dim over the years, a point magnified with the NBC-deported Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’s recent Emmy nominations, but the network is making some strides back to the top. Not only has the peacock ordered a new comedy from Parks and Rec creator Mike Schur, but so too given a pilot commitment to 30 Rock duo Tina Fey and Robert Carlock’s new series.

If there’s one movie you’re excited about on December 18 this year it’s...probably Star Wars: The Force Awakens. But, if there are two movies you’re excited about on December 18, the other one is definitely Sisters, starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. The former SNL co-stars and Golden Globes hosts reteam for this only comedy bold enough to take on Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, and we’ve got the first trailer for you.

Unlike James Franco’s Saturday Night, which took viewers behind the scenes of the making of just one episode of SNL, Live From New York! presents an audio-visual history of the whole series. With the help of lots of familiar faces, including those who have hosted the show throughout its run, the new documentary traces the existence of SNL from its early days to now. The first trailer for Live From New York! is here, giving you a little taste of what the doc has in store.

While it bears the distinctive markings of a show that would be right at home in that immortal two-hour stretch of comedy magic, it’s not on NBC. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt may be the latest series to debut on the ever-growing, all-consuming streaming behemoth that is Netflix, but its goofy spirit and whimsical characters feel like they could only exist because of what aired before ... on NBC. Specifically: it’s no coincidence that this show shares so many writers, directors and producers with 30 Rock.
