Is SNL new tonight on August 2, 2025? Here's the answer.

It was a great Season 50 of Saturday Night Live, with some hilarious cold opens, funny moments on Weekend Update and so many guest stars. There was also the big SNL 50 celebration this year. And if you're here, you might be getting ready to watch SNL on Saturday, August 2, 2025 and wondering: is it all new tonight? If not, is it a rerun? Who's hosting? THE 15 BEST SKETCHES IN SNL HISTORY: Our rankings of the best of Saturday Night Live The answer ... No. It's a rerun after the season finale months ago. NBC's site says we're getting the episode in which Quinta Brunson was the host and Benson Boone was the musical guest. It'll be a while until we get a new episode, sadly, but at least we can rewatch the past season's funny episodes. There you have it. Enjoy! When is SNL Season 51 coming? Reports say the season premiere of Season 51 will be October 4. Who is leaving SNL? And who is joining the cast? We haven't heard names that our out. We do know that Mikey Day is staying, and we haven't heard yet about any new comedians or actors who will be joining the cast this fall.

Matt Rogers talks bringing zeitgeisty Las Culturistas Awards to TV for the 1st time

The last Teen Choice Awards aired in 2019. MTV canceled its MTV Movie & TV Awards show after 2023. It's been a rough period for those deserving of recognition as choice hottie or best villain. Enter the Las Culturistas Culture Awards, now in its fifth year — and coming to television for the first time Tuesday. Conceived by comedians and longtime friends Bowen Yang ('Saturday Night Live') and Matt Rogers ('I Love That For You') and an outgrowth of their 'Las Culturistas' podcast, this year's edition was taped in July and will air on Bravo. 'The thing that's cohesive about Bravo and our brand is the fact that we center fun and that kind of made it a really natural home for us,' Rogers said recently over Zoom. These awards give flowers to a variety of genres. Categories this year include most iconic building or structure (Lumon headquarters from 'Severance' is nominated), best title for the next 'Bridget Jones' ('Bridget Jones to Terabithia' is a contender) and the Lindsay Lohan in 'Parent Trap' award for twins excellence (Michael B. Jordan gets a nod for 'Sinners'). Rogers' favorite? 'They're all my babies,' he said, but is most proud of best 'Batman' woman. One of the nominees: Robyn — yes, not Robin. 'It's the Riddler's assistant,' joked Rogers. 'Robyn scenes were cut from the movie.' The awards aren't even limited to work from the past year — the nonexistent Robyn's competitors include both Michelle Pfeiffer and Anne Hathaway's portrayal of Catwoman. The awards are 'one of the most fun things we do every year,' Rogers said. The whole point is to remind people that Hollywood — and especially awards shows — are not that serious. Rogers spoke with The Associated Press about the Las Culturistas Culture Awards, the podcast and keeping up with pop culture. This interview has been edited for clarity and brevity. AP: Why did you and Bowen start the Las Culturistas Culture Awards? ROGERS: I don't think there's anything funnier than people who take themselves too seriously. And being hosts of a pop culture podcast in which we talk about the entertainment industry quite frequently, we see it as an opportunity to empower everyone to drop their shoulders a little bit. Bowen was just nominated for his fifth (chance at an) Emmy. It still means something, even though we're in the process of satirizing it, which says everything you need to know about the place that this holds in our culture. AP: Do you ever find it hard to keep up with everything that's popping in the zeitgeist? ROGERS: Absolutely. We talk about this a lot on the show. The death of monoculture is a very real thing, so we are not all watching the same stuff. It would be impossible to cover everything that everyone wants us to cover. For example, I can't really do 'Love Island.' The episodes are just a little too long and, also, it's not my flavor of reality show. That doesn't mean that l don't think it's incredible for people that want to watch it. I am an Ariana Madix superfan and supporter. Having said that, if we're talking about something on 'Las Culturistas,' it is honest. I would never want to just cram for the podcast. If you hear us talking about it, it's something we're actually encountering. AP: As you and Bowen each become busier with your individual careers, is there a scenario where you would end the podcast? (Yang did take a break in 2023 to focus on his mental health.) ROGERS: The podcast is not hard to do. Maybe if it were, or if we felt like at a certain point it was too exposing, we would maybe take a break. But the fact is, we don't feel that way. If it was ever a thing of like, 'Hey, we need to wind it back,' that probably means we would book less guests and just talk to each other. The energy expense is when we're getting ready to host someone that we love or that we wanna make sure has a good time. It's an hour or whatever of me talking to my friend. AP: Why do you think there are so many podcasts out there? ROGERS: It's a celebration of someone's interests. I always say if you have an interest, you can find 15 podcasts about that thing no matter what it is. I think what makes people excited about this world is it's a place to talk and deep dive or be too granular and too niche about what you love. AP: What was the original goal for 'Las Culturistas' when you started back in 2016? You've gone on to have Michelle Obama, Lady Gaga, Sarah Jessica Parker and Chappell Roan as guests. ROGERS: The podcast started with me and Bowen sitting behind mics, very lo-fi at our friend's apartment. A mattress was in the window to keep the sound out. It was just a playdate for me and Bowen. It wasn't even weekly in the very beginning. It was very haphazard. The sentence, 'Oh, we owe them an episode,' was uttered a lot. Then suddenly it became this thing. And we realized it was really not only helping us, but it was something we enjoyed.

Father of 10 Eddie Murphy, 64, Just Gave Pete Davidson the Ultimate Effortless Parenting Advice

Father of 10 Eddie Murphy, 64, Just Gave Pete Davidson the Ultimate Effortless Parenting Advice originally appeared on Parade. When a comedy legend who's raised 10 children offers parenting advice, you listen. Eddie Murphy just delivered the most reassuring words any nervous father-to-be could hear, telling Pete Davidson during their show appearance that parenting requires no effort because "you're wired to do the right thing by your child." The 64-year-old comedy icon's wisdom came during promotion for their new film , when Al Roker asked Davidson about his upcoming fatherhood journey. The 31-year-old SNL star shared his excitement about taking care of someone and getting "out of my own head" since "it's not about me now." But it was Murphy's response that truly resonated. When asked if he'd given Davidson parenting advice, Davidson revealed his philosophy: "The best advice was no advice. You can't tell someone how to parent." Murphy's follow-up was even more comforting: "There's no effort in it! You're wired to do the right thing by your child." For Davidson, who's navigating his first experience with fatherhood, hearing this from someone with Murphy's extensive parenting experience must feel incredibly reassuring. The Brooklyn native has raised children across decades, giving him unique perspective on how natural instincts guide parents through the journey. Murphy's approach reflects a laid-back confidence that comes from years of experience. Rather than overwhelming new parents with endless advice and rules, he emphasizes trusting natural parenting instincts that kick in when your child exchange highlighted the beautiful mentorship dynamic between the two comedians. While they're co-stars promoting their action-comedy about mismatched armored truck drivers facing chaos, their real-life conversation revealed genuine care and wisdom sharing between generations. Davidson's honest admission about being excited to care for someone while acknowledging he doesn't know much about fatherhood shows the vulnerability many first-time parents feel. Murphy's reassuring response offers comfort that parenting skills develop naturally rather than requiring extensive preparation. Fan reactions were mixed, with some appreciating Murphy's confidence while others noted that parenting definitely involves daily effort for most people. Regardless of different experiences, Murphy's core message about trusting parental instincts provides valuable reassurance for any nervous parent-to-be. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 For Davidson, having a comedy legend and experienced father offer such supportive wisdom must feel like the perfect preparation for his upcoming journey into parenthood.
