SNL had Bobby Moynihan’s exit more or less written on the wall by CBS sitcom Me, Myself & I, but only hours ahead of Season 42’s finale, the sketch comedy series has another gut punch for you. Vanessa Bayer will apparently make Season 42 her last as well.

Between the famous Back Home Ballers + Adam Sandler's one-of-a-kind jingle, you really can't go wrong.

SNL sailed from the 40th anniversary into Season 41 rather smoothly, though the waters roughened in recent weeks with the departures of Taran Killam, Jay Pharoah and Jon Rudnitsky. Thankfully, it’s clear skies ahead for Season 42, as the rest of the beloved cast will be staying aboard. Sailing metaphors!

Other hopefuls include Sasheer Zamata as Janelle Monae and Taran Killam as Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

In one of Saturday Night Live's strongest episodes in awhile, hosted by Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep), one highlight was this filmed piece which parodies the recent wave of religious films called "God Is a Boob Man", featuring castmember Vanessa Bayer...

SNL commercial parodies are at their best when they’re at their most scathing. The fake ad for a fictional dating app called Settl may not be as dark as that vicious, pro-gun parody from a while back, but it’s a different brand of cynical: Here is the app for people who are tired of trying to find the right person and just want to settle down with, well, any person.

While traditional live sketches are still the backbone of any given episode, modern SNL is frequently at its best in the pre-recorded segments. The past few years have seen an interesting evolution as the silly “digital shorts” of a decade ago have matured into full-blown filmmaking, with sketches that feel more like short films than just a comedy bit. Last night’s Ryan Gosling-hosted episode peaked with a pre-recorded sketch titled “Santa Baby,” which let both SNL and Gosling himself turn the weird up to 11.

With one of the biggest comedy movies of the summer (Trainwreck) and a self-titled hit show on Comedy Central, Amy Schumer is the hottest comic on the planet! And it was only a matter of time before she got the nod to host Saturday Night Live, which she'll be doing this week with musical guest The Weeknd...

"Anchorman 2"'s Paul Rudd hosts "Saturday Night Live" this week with musical guests One Direction, and he and castmember Vanessa Bayer have a somewhat difficult time containing their excitement over a visit from the British heartthrobs....
