After years of pandering to the stoners and alcoholics still awake past midnight on a Saturday, Saturday Night Live writers, cast members, and hosts of Weekend Update Michael Che and Colin Jost are finally branching out. Sure, they're doing it with NBC but they're still slowly taking over the Comcast owned network. Tonight at midnight EST, the two will host a Republican National Convention special on MSNBC that will be considered a Weekend Update Special. Entertainment Weekly revealed will be live from both Cleveland this week (July 20th) and Philadelphia next week (on July 27th), much like Stephen Colbert, Samantha Bee and The Daily Show. The two are also said to appear on the Today show the morning after. Make room on your DVRs.

Drake is back at SNL in these promos

Julia Louis-Dreyfus puts up with the loveable Bobby Moynihan on this week's SNL promos
SNL is back this week, and hopefully everything turns out better than last week, with host Julia Louis Dreyfus and musical guest Nick Jonas. In these promos, Bobby doesn't know Julia's recurring characters, Bobby doesn't know Veep and Bobby doesn't know how to tell Julia that someone spit in her coffee. Can't you do anything right, Mr. Moynihan?
Leslie Jones makes Russell Crowe spit out his martini in these SNL promos
Saturday Night Live is back again this week with Russell Crowe in the host's seat with Margo Price as the musical guest. In this week's hot selection of promos, Leslie Jones tells Crowe a joke that ends with them having sex, talk about Crowe's range, and play an SNL drinking game. And the two have several drinks together. Like a lot. They probably did end up banging.
