"Saturday Night Live" just launched its 48th season. Michigan's had its share of comedians on the show. Here are 6 native Michiganders who spent time on SNL.
Saturday Night Live's Cecily Strong brought back her Gov. Gretchen Whitmer impression for the show's cold open this weekend in a sketch called "So You Think You Can Get the Vaccine?"
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer got the SNL treatment, with Cecily Strong taking a crack at the Michigander accent, bundled up in a winter coat, sipping a Labatt.
Weekend Update is officially going to the Emmys. NBC confirms that SNL writers and stars Colin Jost and Michael Che will host the 2018 ceremony later this year, while creator Lorne Michaels is getting back involved as well.
This coming weekend will see Sam Rockwell taking the SNL stage for the first time, but January 2018 has yet more celebs in store. Season 43 will continue the year with fellow first-timer Jessica Chastain, along with SNL vet Will Ferrell.
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.
