"Saturday Night Live" sketches have famously tight turnaround times, with the writing process beginning on Tuesday and rehearsals not kicking off until Friday. Those rehearsals are especially tough for the episode's guest host, who typically appears in most of the sketches. While cue cards are hold up off-screen to remind actors of their lines, occasional flubs are an inevitable part of the scramble to pull an episode together -- not to mention the unforgiving nature of live broadcast.
With all that in mind, it takes a special kind of sadism to script lines like "I'm from the Bureau of Hotel Detectives Management Division Detectives Internal Affairs," especially within a "Twilight Zone" riff that requires its actors to speak in rapid-fire Mid-Atlantic accents. But this week's "Saturday Night Live" guest host Ariana Grande nailed the challenge, as did her "Hotel Detectives" co-stars James Austin Johnson and Andrew Dismukes. And the whole...

A source told Hollywood Life: "Ri was watching Bobby and Whitney's 'Something In Common' video the other day and said, 'This is just like Chris and me.

When Bones killed off Vincent Nigel-Murray last season (R.I.P., chap), the door was held open for a new squintern at the Jeffersonian. And the winner is… the super-smart, uber-Southern Finn Abernathy, who arrives in this Thursday’s episode (Fox, 9/8c).

The Life As We Know It soundtrack. The Black Keys seem to pop up on one out of three contemporary American comedy soundtracks (legal disclaimer: this figure was plucked haphazardly from the reviewer’s head and actual comparisons with reality may be tenuous). This could be for several reasons. First of all, The Black Keys are currently one of the best lo-fi rock and roll outfits in the world, and have been for several years. Guitarist/singer Dan Auerbach is Jack White without the column inches, and his solo album is incredible. Second of all, getting their tunes on OSTs is probably a nice little earner for Dan and Patrick, and I don’t begrudge them it one bit. They toil for our sins, making genuinely great music that is never going to make them rich. Third of all, they’re a very easy choice for manicured and moisturised California...
