Jason Sudeikis To Be Given A "Hall Pass"

Jason Sudeikis has been confirmed to star in the upcoming Farrelly Brothers' comedy Hall Pass. Also confirmed for the project, which is set to start shooting next week in Atlanta, are Owen Wilson, Jenna Fischer, Amanda Bynes, and Christina Applegate. The movie centres on two men who are given a "pass" to cheat on their wives. It's Jason's first bona-fide lead role, as he plays one of the men in question. The Farrelly Brother are responsible for two of my favourite comedies, Kingpin and There's Something About Mary, so it could be kinda awesome (particularly when three of the most talented comic actresses around right now are attached!)

Zach Galifianakis & Jude Law to Host in March

March will see Zach Galifianakis and Jude Law take to Studio 8H as hosts of Saturday Night Live.
Zach Galifianakis will be joined by Vampire Weekend, while Jude Law, who is promoting the upcoming sci-fi comedy Repo Men, will be joined by the previously announced Pearl Jam.

I did not see Jude Law coming, but I like him fair enough, so should be a good show!
What do you think of these hosts? Are you as excited for ZG as I am?

Betty White to Host SNL With Other Women of Comedy

http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2010/02/21/snl-close-to-land-betty-white/

It worked! Betty White is apparently this close to booking an SNL episode which would see her host alongside female SNL alum Molly Shannon, Tina Fey & Amy Poehler! Ah!
Whether or not this is the episode Tina Fey has discussed hosting in April, I'm not sure, but bottom line - Rose Nylund is coming to Studio 8H.

I come bearing bad news. Tween sensation Justin Bieber is set to be musical guest on SNL April 10. Not too much I can say about this except - "Oi".

Tina Fey to Host SNL This April

Tina Fey will host SNL in April (date unannounced as-of-yet) in order to promote her upcoming movie Date Night in which she stars alongside Steve Carell and a multitude of other actors - that's according to the AP. The AP are also reporting that a reprisal of Fey's now infamous Sarah Palin impression could be on the cards.
All I can say is - yay! Fey back at SNL - this has made my day fo' sho.

Lyrics for "Fist Fight" by Fred Armisen

When Ronald Reagan comes around


He brings the fascists to your town


You think it's cool to be a jock


But we all get beat up by cops


It's a


Fist fight fist fight


Fist fight in the parking lot


Fist fight fist fight


Fist fight in the parking lot

(Spoken, Fred)


I guess my mind's all messed up


But isn't that a result of going to your schools being a part of your system following your orders


(Ashton)


I guess you want me to put on a suit and tie and eat my happy meal


(Dave-his mic dropped out for a few lines, then Ashton gave him his )


I guess you want me to have 2.5 children and a white picket fence I have a better idea. Why don't I kick in your windows with my boots




(Fred)


You hear that Alexander Haig? You getting all that Ed Meese?


It's time for a


Fist fight fist fight


Fist fight in the parking lot


Fist fight fist fight


Fist fight in the parking lot

Abby Elliott To Appear On Letterman!

SNL wunderkind Abby Elliott will appear on Letterman next Wednesday. That's February 17 y'all.
Abby's dad Chris Elliott got his start as a writer/performer on Letterman, so that's probably how Abby got booked. That and her killer appearance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.
I'll remind you guys closer to the time, obvz, but just giving you a heads up, in case you were gonna even think about watching something else.

Betty White To Host SNL

So probably everybody on here has heard about this, but if not, I would like to point you in the direction of a group that's campaigning to get TV legend Betty White to host SNL. I can't really think of anyone I'd like to see on SNL more. White is an out-and-out legend, and a national treasure, and anyone who has seen her at the SAG awards this year or on Chelsea Handler will know that she's hilarious and raunchy for an 88 year old - who better to host the late-night institution that is SNL? Joining the group probably won't get Betty booked, but it's worth a shot!
