'SNL' steers clear of Biden in first episode since inauguration - New York Post

“Saturday Night Live” steered clear of the Biden administration in its first episode since the inauguration — and the omission didn’t go unnoticed by some viewers.

The sketch show didn’t feature portrayals of either President Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday night, choosing instead to poke fun at controversial Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the COVID-19 vaccine rollout and the GameStop saga.

“Why does SNL not do ANY sketches about Biden???” one person gripped on Twitter.

Another viewer wrote: “Disappointed I expected a stronger and funnier episode. Given Trump leaving, Biden inauguration and it was the first episode of the new year ?”

The show consistently drew on Alec Baldwin’s impression of former President Donald Trump during his term and also spoofed Joe Biden during the 2020 election.

However, after a month-long break, some were surprised not to see a Biden impression on screen.

“I really wanted SNL to cover Biden’s Inauguration…,” one viewer wrote.

Lorraine Ali, the Los Angeles Times’ TV critic, noted that it felt like SNL “suddenly seems lost” without Trump and that the show “struggled to find its footing.”

Let's block ads! (Why?)

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her...
