Kid Cudi wore a dress on Saturday Night Live, and a fan attempted to connect his appearance to a humiliation ritual conducted by The Illuminati. Well, Cudi had some time.
“Dear Issac u silly stupid lil person and all people under this post,” Cudi opened. “It’s the start of a new year and I got time for muthafuckas like u today. This most is mad fuckin lame of u and said.
“A black man cant express himself and be confident AND successful with out it being some conspiracy. My success was givin to me by God with the help of my many angels.”

Late last year, Kid Cudi returned with a bang as he released “At The Party,” featuring the talents of Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott. The track is the next single from his highly anticipated ninth full-length studio album, INSANO, marking his first full-length release since 2022.
Kid Cudi has long been known for pushing the boundaries of music and art, and “At The Party” is poised to continue that legacy. With Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott on board, this collaboration promises to be a standout addition to the artist’s discography.
Kate McKinnon showed off her comedy, acting, and musical prowess on tonight’s episode of Saturday Night Live. In addition to her amazing opening monologue, McKinnon delivered a catchy anthem celebrating menstruation and its vital accessories.
In a new music video, McKinnon brought viewers down to a special farm. Channeling country singers like The Chicks, Mckinnon was joined by fellow SNL actresses Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig, as they all made tampons on a special tampon farm.
Now, if you’re confused about the happenings of a tampon farm, McKinnon and the ladies break it down for us by way of a certified country-pop banger.
“Tampon fur / women making cotton / cotton for the tampons / tampons for the blood / tampon fur / women with guitars are singing to the tampons / tampon fur / Sun makes the fires / she hands load the fibers / into little things of plastic / to go in a jean and the moon makes the menses / and the menses makes the fibers / and they sing,” sings McKinnon on the song’s chorus.
Throughout the clip, many of the ladies of SNL make appearances, including Chloe Fineman, and the musical guest of the night, Billie Eilish. Fans may also catch SNL writer Paula Pell, who is also known as Gloria on Girls5EVa.
It’s the season of giving, and tonight’s Weekend Update portion on Saturday Night Live was a special gift for millennials. During part of the weekly segment, SNL cast member Chloe Fineman offered some gift ideas “for that special someone.”
To the surprise of Weekend Update hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che, Fineman took to the front of the stage, as she needed the space to show off her dance moves.
“The perfect holiday gift this year is the dance that Julia Stiles does at the end of the 2001 dance movie, Save The Last Dance,” said Fineman.
Fineman then proceeds to deliver the movie’s iconic brand of “street ballet,” while talking about some of the movie’s bizarre plot points. Notably, about Stiles’ character getting a second chance to audition for Juilliard after bombing the first time.
“Her crush, Derek [played by Sean Patrick Thomas], skips a drive-by shooting to come support her,” says Fineman.
“So does she get into Juilliard?” asked Jost.
Seconds later, Stiles herself made a surprise appearance in the Weekend Update newsroom.
“Yes!,” replied Stiles, which prompted cheers from the audience.
Teaming up with Fineman, Stiles reminded us just how exactly her character, Sara, nailed her Juilliard audition.
This week’s Saturday Night Liveepisode boasts an exciting line-up. On Saturday (December 9), Adam Driver will host the show ahead of the premiere of his upcoming movie Ferrari. Olivia Rodrigo, who, earlier this year, released her critically acclaimed sophomore album Guts, will serve as this week’s musical guest.
Ahead of the broadcast, NBC has shared the official promo for this show, featuring Driver, Rodrigo, and Heidi Gardner. In the clip, the trio calls back to Rodrigo’s breakthrough single, “Drivers License.”
“Okay, this is awkward,” said Gardner in the clip. “Olivia Rodrigo and the guy she wrote a song about.”
Driver then asked “which song?” to which Gardner replied, “Drivers License.” She continued, saying “Adam Driver,” emphasizing the actors last name.
Playing defense, Driver replied, saying “that song’s not about me.”
Rodrigo then replied, saying, “It’s 100% about you.”
While we all appreciate a good pun, it’s safe to assume this is a joke. Rodrigo explained in an interview on Today that she will likely never reveal who each of her songs are about.
“I think explanation is never good for art,” says Rodrigo. “Why would I pigeonhole a song into being about this one thing in my life, when everyone has their own interpretation?”
You can see the promo above.
Saturday Night Live airs at 11 p.m. EST on NBC and streams live simultaneously on Peacock.
Ahead of the premiere of her upcoming movie Poor Things, Emma Stone brought the laughs on Saturday Night Live. In her fifth time hosting the show, Stone displayed naked emotion &mdash: literally — in a new bop featuring the SNL cast.
The song, “Fully Naked In New York City,” opens with Bowen Yang finding himself down on his luck. He is seen sitting on his bed before walking around his apartment. Stone is then seen in her apartment, also finding herself lamenting the day-to-day, hustle and bustle of life. But the two quickly find that they have similar coping mechanisms.
In the next frame, the two are seen nude (digitally blurred, of course), riding on the back of a garbage truck.
In unison, Stone and Yang then reel over “Riding in the back of a garbage truck / being naked in the middle of New York City.”
Shortly after, Stone is seen sitting on a large beam, enjoying a sandwich mid-air. Several of the other SNL cast members join in on the nude fun, as Chloe Fineman, Andrew Dismukes, Chloe Troast, and more are seen dancing their way through construction sites, donning nothing but their birthday suits.
You can see the “Fully Naked In New York City” video above.
Pete Davidson, a name synonymous with humor, wit, and a unique presence in the comedy world, has made a significant mark in the entertainment industry. As of 2023, his net worth stands at an impressive $8 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, a testament to his success and popularity. This article delves into the journey of Davidson, exploring how he built his fortune and what makes him a standout figure in comedy.
Pete Davidson’s journey to fame is a classic tale of talent meeting opportunity. Born in Staten Island, New York, Davidson had a relatively normal upbringing, but his life took a dramatic turn with the tragic loss of his father during the 9/11 attacks. This event profoundly influenced his comedic style, often characterized by dark humor and personal anecdotes.
Davidson’s career began in the world of stand-up comedy. He honed his craft in small clubs and on various platforms, gradually building a reputation for his unique style and relatable content. His big break came when he joined the Saturday Night Live (SNL) cast in 2014. At just 20 years old, he was one of the youngest cast members in the show’s history. His performances on SNL, marked by his candidness and ability to laugh at his own struggles, quickly made him a fan favorite.
Diversifying His Portfolio

While Davidson’s primary claim to fame is his role on SNL, his talents extend far beyond sketch comedy. He has ventured into film, with notable roles in movies like The King of Staten Island, which he also co-wrote, drawing heavily from his own life experiences. This film, in particular, showcased his ability to blend comedy with deep emotional storytelling, earning him critical acclaim.
Davidson has also made headlines for his high-profile relationships, which, while personal, have undoubtedly contributed to his fame and marketability. His presence in the media and his professional endeavors have made him a well-known figure, not just in comedy circles but in popular culture at large.

Pete Davidson’s net worth of $8 million reflects his diverse income streams. His salary from SNL, while significant, is just a part of his earnings. His film roles, stand-up specials, and writing credits contribute substantially to his wealth. Additionally, Davidson has made smart choices regarding collaborations and sponsorships, aligning with brands and projects that resonate with his image and audience.
It’s also worth noting that Davidson’s approach to comedy – often touching on personal and sometimes controversial topics – has helped him stand out in a crowded field. This authenticity endears him to a broad audience and makes him a valuable asset for projects seeking a unique comedic voice.

Looking ahead, the future seems bright for Pete Davidson. His ability to adapt, whether to different mediums or evolving comedy styles, suggests that he will continue to be a relevant and influential figure in entertainment. With projects like “Bupkis,” a semi-autobiographical comedy series, on the horizon, Davidson is not just resting on his laurels but actively shaping his career trajectory.
Pete Davidson’s net worth of $8 million in 2023 clearly indicates his success and impact in the world of comedy and entertainment.

As he continues evolving and taking on new challenges, Pete Davidson remains a comedian to watch, both for his humor and unique approach to life and comedy.
Pop culture juggernaut SNL used its most recent episode to address the biggest sports story of the week – Draymond Green choking out Rudy Gobert. Cast member Devon Walker donned a graying beard and Warriors hoodie to embody Green joining the Weekend Update desk. In the brief segment, Walker’s Green jokes about being enraged by the “7 foot baguette” that is Gobert while also addressing his history of on-court violence. “I strangle that trouble. I keep my teammates safe,” Walker argues. However, after WU host Michael Che asked about Green punching Jordan Poole, Green added Che to his “hit list”.
If you missed it, Green, Klay Thompson, and Jaden McDaniels were all ejected less than two minutes into Tuesday night’s in-season tournament matchup between the Warriors and Timberwolves. The brawl broke out after Thompson and McDaniels clashed in transition. McDaniels pulled on Thompson’s jersey while the latter contested for a long rebound and the pair remained tangled up amid the ensuing breakaway. The two proceeded to start fighting, leading to a game-stopping brawl. Amid the chaos, Green was seen putting Rudy Gobert in a headlock. Furthermore, Green was later hit with a five-game suspension for his actions.
However, Draymond Green isn’t the only athlete to have gotten the SNL treatment this season. Deion Sanders expressed his approval of Kenan Thompson’s impression of him on a Weekend Update segment last month. “I’m a fan of Kenan, let’s get that straight. I love what he’s brought to comedy. I had the pleasure and honor to host Saturday Night Live before and I’ll never forget those moments,” Sanders said of the skit. As for Sanders’ SNL hosting gig, that came in February 1995, a couple weeks after he won Super Bowl 30 with the Niners.
Despite this, there’s not been much for Sanders to smile about over in Boulder. After a 3-0 start to the season, Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes are now 4-7 with one game left to play. They earned their fifth consecutive loss of the year this past Friday after Washington State steamrolled them 56-14. While many diehards will point to how Sanders turned a 1-11 team into a four-win team, it’s far from acceptable from the brightest star in college football. The Buffs close out the season against Utah in Salt Lake City next week.
Over the past few months, several women have taken to TikTok, noting that men frequently think about the Roman empire. This has since spawned memes with people describing fixations of their own as their personal “Roman empire.” Tonight (November 18), in a hilarious music video sketch on Saturday Night Live, the men of the cast doubled down on their fascination with this age.
The video opens with the fictional wives of guest host Jason Momoa, Mikey Day, and Kenan Thompson — played respectively by Ego Nwodim, Chloe Troast, and Punkie Johnson — singing of concerns that their husbands are fantasizing about other women. Momoa then delivers a hilarious rap, ensuring that there’s not lust for other women, but rather, a desire to return to the age of the Roman empire.
As the men continue to rap about how simple of a time the age of the Roman empire must’ve been, Nwodim expresses concern that the fascination is passing along to hers and Momoa’s fictional son.
But the son expresses that he is more interested in dinosaurs, which, like the Roman empire, are in the ground.
The ladies then suggest the men take up other interests — like astrology.
In his second time hosting Saturday Night Live, Timothée Chalamet brought back an old favorite. Reprising his Soundcloud rapper role, SmokeCheddaThaAssGetta, Chalamet spoke on a special panel honoring the 50th anniversary of hip-hop.
During the sketch, a moderator named Nunya Business, played by Ego Nwodim, hosts a group of hip-hop experts at the Museum Of Hip-Hop. On the panel are Mary J. Blige (Punkie Johnson), Dr. Cornel West (Kenan Thompason), Rick Rubin (James Austin Johnson), and SmokeCheddaThaAssGetta.
Evidently, SmokeCheddaThaAssGetta has broken the streaming record, which, according to Nunya, makes him “the most successful hip-hop artist of all time.”
While on the panel, Johnson’s Blige posits that hip-hop has thrived for more than 50 years, given the pure emotion in the music. Meanwhile, SmokeCheddaThaAssGetta is confused, as he initially thought hip-hop was discovered in 2014. However, he simply sums up his reasoning for Hip-Hop’s longevity, saying, “the opps gonna slide, but DMs be popping regardless.”
Elsewhere in the panel, SmokeCheddaThaAssGetta opens up about his struggles, hilariously noting “My dad made me get braces when I wanted Invisalign.” He also mentioned his sidekick in the rap game, Guaplord, who, in SmokeChedda’s first sketch, was played by Pete Davidson.
“He gotta lay low in Turkey for a minute,” SmokeCheddaThaAssGetta said.
In the first Saturday Night Live episode since the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike, this week’s host, Timothée Chalamet wasted no time. Tonight (November 11), the actor hosted the show for the second time.
The first time Chalamet hosted was back in 2020, amid the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. While both of his hosting gigs thus far took place at weird times, Chalamet fully embraced the newfound freedom to talk about his work. During tonight’s episode, Chalamet was excited to promote his upcoming projects, Wonka and Dune: Part II.
He broke out into song, singing to the tune of “Pure Imagination” from the original Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory.
“Come with me / and you’ll be / in a world of shameless self-promotion / It’s okay / That my new film Wonka is out in theaters December 15,” Chalamet sang.
He was then interrupted by SNL actor Marcello Hernandez, with whom, Chalamet established that they both have baby faces. The two then broke out into a hilarious rap about the reality of living with baby faces.
They were joined by fellow SNL actors Punkie Johnson and Kenan Thompson, the latter of whom jokingly claimed to be 63 years old, but maintained a youthful appearance due to his baby face.
