Alex Trebek is a cultural institution, a beacon of knowledge and grace under pressure. Everyone loves him. Which is why it’s always amusing to watch the unflappable host of Jeopardy say silly words and phrases in that reliable deadpan of his. A recent episode of the immortal game show saw him forced to say the name “Turd Ferguson,” which should amuse anyone with a passing knowledge of modern comedy.
The summer of 2015 has afforded far too many absurd and newsworthy sagas for SNL to sit out, and Season 41 is already exploding off the bench. Not only will Miley Cyrus host the October premiere, but SNL will follow up with Amy Schumer, and a momentous return for alumni Tracy Morgan.
This weekend was the conclusion of Saturday Night Live's epic 40th season! Louis C.K. hosted the affair with the musical entertainment provided by one of my favorites, Rihanna (although I wasn't crazy about her set).

The episode was decent at best, but of course there were some segments that me laughing out loud. This sketch had me laughing, parodying the Baltimore Orioles VS Chicago White Sox game played last week inside of an empty stadi
Boy was I happy to see Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson hosting "Saturday Night Live" four a fourth time this weekend, the night before WrestleMania no less! I remember vividly the first time he hosted, I was junior in high school, right before WrestleMania 2000. There were a lot of great sketches on the episode, but this one spoke to me most, for obvious reasons. Watch Rock, as Ko
Now give this a chance. It might sound boring – Adam Sandler talks about food with Conan O’Brien – but the former Saturday Night Live stars (Sandler was, of course, a cast member, while O’Brien as a long-time writer) have some pretty tall tales to share about their time on the show, specifically as it applies to meals.
