Kate Mckinnon: Celebs Rumors

If you need some comedic talent, you can do a whole lot worse than finding some ‘SNL’ alums. And that appears to be exactly what the filmmakers behind “The Roses” has decided to do.

Ryan Gosling announced during his opening monologue on “Saturday Night Live” that he has had to “break up” with his “Barbie” character Ken — but not before one final sendoff. “I’m here because of my new movie, ‘The Fall Guy’ with Emily Blunt,” Gosling, 43, told the cheering crowd. “So don’t worry, I’m not going to make any jokes about Ken because it’s not funny.

viral TikTok claiming “hot women” are never hired on “Saturday Night Live.” “First of all, it’s a comedy show, not a beauty pageant,” Behar, 81, said Thursday. “It’s not for men to ogle the women trying to get a laugh.”But the fiery redhead also asserted female comedians shouldn’t be intimidatingly beautiful, either, because audiences will be “too busy looking at your boobs and working out something going on in their head, especially the men.”She didn’t limit her critiques to the women of “SNL” either, adding that legendary late cast members John Belushi and Chris Farley “were not my ideal dates.”“So the men are not that hot [either] — meaning sexy,” she quipped.

“Saturday Night Live” has “never” hired a “hot” woman in its nearly 50-year run — and some of the show’s female cast members had hilarious reactions. “Am I the only person who’s ever noticed that ‘SNL’ has never hired a, like, hot woman?” the TikTok user, who goes by Jahelis on the platform, asked in a video uploaded March 21 and currently has more than 482,700 views.“I’m not saying that every single woman who has been a cast member on ‘SNL’ is ugly,” she continued.

Deadline reports that “SNL” alum Kate McKinnon and New Zealand comedic actor Jermaine Clement are the latest to join Jason Momoa in the Warner Bros. adaptation of “Minecraft.” The news comes just one day after Jennifer Coolidge joined the cast of the upcoming blockbuster.
