The bizarre subculture of dime-store Christmas movies seems oddly pervasive this year, and has not gone unnoticed at SNL. The “Not Ready for Primetime Players” have at least one more gift in the form of a cut short, featuring host James Franco in an endless stream of indistinguishable Hallmark Channel classics.

SNL may be in for some changes at the Weekend Update desk, but it’s not what you think – yet. Anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che will be doubling up on their responsibilities as two of SNL’s new head writers.

Watch U2 perform "Get Out of Your Own Way" and "American Soul" live on the new episode of "Saturday Night Live."

SNL has plenty in its recent history it’d rather forget, but very rarely does the series scrub one of its own sketches from existence. Such is apparently the case with a recent Safelite commercial parody, as SNL has been quietly deleting all record from the internet.

SNL had already declared Saoirse Ronan as our first December host, and the time has come to round out 2017. James Franco will return to the sketch comedy series, as will comedian Kevin Hart and some fan-favorite musical guests to close out the year.

The ongoing cycle of sexual harassment exposure has repeatedly put SNL in an awkward position; one the show seems reticent to address. In light of accusations against writer-turned-senator Al Franken, however, thirty-six female cast and crew have now spoken out to defend Franken’s name.

SNL may take time to carve the bird after host Chance the Rapper closes out November, but December has a Lady Bird all its own. Saoirse Ronan has been booked as our first Season 43 host of December, bringing a taste of Ireland with a veteran musical guest as well.

She only works for the munty, hunty.

Liam and Miley won 'SNL' this weekend.

Former LSU baseball star Alex Bregman is still celebrating his win in the World Series with the Houston Astros. He joined fellow Astros Jose Altuve and George Springer to make a guest appearance on Saturday Night Live where they made a new fan in SNL cast member Leslie Jones.

We knew Bobby Moynihan’s SNL exit was imminent when CBS officially picked up sitcom pilot Me, Myself & I, but the fan-favorite star may already need a new gig. CBS has pulled the time-twisting series from its lineup after six episodes, likely marking our first major network cancellation of the fall.

Now that David Pumpkins’ animated Halloween special is behind us, SNL is looking forward to November. Two more hosts have joined the coming weeks alongside Larry David, including a Girls Trip favorite, a promotion for Chance The Rapper and more.
