Kristen Wiig News

Last year, Kristen Wiig's emotional SNL sendoff set a high water mark for cast member farewells.

Saturday night's episode of " Saturday Night Live " is honestly going to be one of the most emotional episodes of the nearly 40-year late night sketch comedy show for me.

This week, fans of the "Despicable Me" franchise got a dose of good news and bad news.

Kristen Wiig's return to the "Saturday Night Live" stage may have stolen a bit of the band's thunder, but Vampire Weekend came out swinging last night on the newest episode of "SNL" Fresh off the release of "Modern Vampires of the City," the four-piece's third album, the New York indie rockers descended upon 30 Rock to provide two choice cuts off ...

The line for the ice cream stand may have been longer than the line for the bar at the packed-to-the-rafters Verizon Center on Saturday night, and the audience a little higher-pitched than your standard stadium crowd, but don't let that fool you: Taylor Swift turned in a rock-solid, musically adventurous performance, and she would like you to know ...
