Imagine Dragons and Kendrick Lamar Rocked SNL
This ‘Radioactive’ remix is as good as it gets. Always nice to see two artists at or near the top of their respective genres combine for some musical magic. That it happened on stage 8H makes it all the better. In an unrelated note, I’m going to need a jacket with a fur hood pronto.

Seth Meyers Farewell ‘Weekend Update’ Was Perfect and I’ve Been Crying for 48 Straight Hours
Nice to see Seth’s friends come back for his farewell episode. The Weekend Update desk will never be the same, but sometimes peacocks have to spread their feathers and fly away. We’ll see how it works out on March 1st when Colin Jost takes over.

My New Goal in Life is To Be Best Friends With Leonardo DiCaprio
Best friends gotta hug! Surprising to see Leo show up on SNL because he basically hates all types of talk show appearances, but when your friend asks a favor you show up and reenact the Titanic with him. This proves two things: Leo is probably the coolest guy in the world and Jonah Hill has the greatest group of friends in history. Franco, Rogen, Pitt, DiCaprio. Save some for the rest of us man.

P.S. I hope Clooney see’s this. You can only spurn my advances for so long before I move on.
In Non Royal Rumble News, SNL’s ‘Her’ Parody Was Bizarre and Great
Whether its Wes Anderson or now Spike Jonze, SNL has been on it’s game with movie trailer spoofs this year. ‘Me’ was scary similar to the ‘Her’ trailer, about an complex introvert who falls in love with his home operating system. I’d probably watch ‘Me’ if it ever became a feature film, as long as the testicle kiss part was cut from the script. There’s also a great cameo at the end that was the icing on the cake. You go Jonah Hill. Go on with your bad self.

Kate McKinnon Might Actually Be Justin Bieber
That’s as good a Justin Bieber impression as you’ll ever see. Cherry on the ice cream was the fact that she actually looked like Bieber. There’s talent, and then there’s Kate McKinnon. FYI, the entire Drake hosted episode of SNL was awesome. Drake just got his newest and most deranged fan.

Woof. Drake tomorrow night, Jonah Hill next week and now Melissa McCarthy on February 1st. SNL is pulling out the big guns to play with the young pups. 2014 should be an exciting year for studio 8H.

Jonah Hill Will Host the 2nd SNL Of 2014
Source – “Saturday Night Live” is kicking off 2014 with new shows beginning Jan. 18.
As previously announced by the Peacock, Drake will have double-duty during the Jan. 18 broadcast of the latenight program, serving as both host and musical guest. While Drake has performed on “SNL” before, this will be his first time hosting the live show.
On Jan. 25, Jonah Hill will return to “SNL” for the third time as host while his latest pic, “The Wolf of Wall Street,” heads deep into Oscar season. Hill will be joined by musical guest Bastille.
“Saturday Night Live” is produced in association with Broadway Video. The creator and executive producer is Lorne Michaels.
Woof. We learned during the final SNL of 2013 that Drake would be the host and musical guest on SNL’s inaugural episode of 2014. Now we know the host for the second episode, and it’s a doozy. Hill has really transformed himself since stepping into the spotlight with Superbad. He was fantastic in Moneyball (nominated for an Oscar), a scene stealer in Django Unchained, hilarious in This is the End and from pretty much everyone’s account was amazing in Wolf of Wall Street. This will be his third time hosting SNL, so let’s see what the man’s made of. I’m rooting for him to kick some sketch comedy ass.

Join Seth as he takes you from his old job to his new one. He is going to kill that time slot…if only he could find his desk.
