Barry looks at a pivotal year for Obama as he arrives in New York City in the fall of 1981 to begin his junior year at Columbia University.

By

Injecting some politics into what is usually a rather unthreatening affair, Green Day used the occasion of their performance tonight at the American Music Awards to slam Donald Trump. During a rendition of their song “Bang Bang” off their latest album, “Revolution Radio”, the group made a slight change to the songs lyrics, chanting “no Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA!”. It’s the latest high profile instance of popular entertainment being used to criticize the… Read

Update Alec Baldwin has responded – in kind – to Donald Trump’s anti-SNL twitter blast, reminding the President-elect that “Election is over” and “There is no more equal time. Now u try 2 b Pres + ppl respond. That’s pretty much it.” But Baldwin’s schooling of the next president didn’t end there. In a biting series of tweets (read them below), he advised Trump to focus on jobs, our global reputation and improving the lives “of as many Americans as possible.” Oh, and he… Read

By and

EXCLUSIVE: Deadline's Jeremy Gerard and Jujamcyn Theatres president Jordan Roth talk about the state of the industry, the only stipulation being no holds barred. GERARD: Vice President-elect Mike Pence was in town on business this week and did what most visitors do on a trip to New York — he took in a Broadway show. He chose Hamilton and, according to reports, bought tickets rather than pull strings for comps. Pence might have picked Something Rotten! Or Waitress or even C… Read

Kristen Wiig Goes Diva In Her Catty Return To ‘Saturday Night Live’, So To Speak

By

Saturday Night Live guest host Kristen Wiig brought back a couple familiar faces from her days on cast, none more brilliant – at least in the character’s own mind – than Mindy Elise Grayson, the Broadway diva with more practiced grace than actual brains. In a vintage game show bit supposedly from 1964, Wiig’s stagey thespian is too self-involved to grasp the concept of “Secret Word.” When the password, uh, secret word, is “branch,” Grayson intones “braaanch.” You get the… Read

There were no solemn renditions of mournful Leonard Cohen songs on NBC’s Saturday Night Live last night, but the gang in Studio 8-H isn’t quite celebrating yet either. A stunned post-Trump mood was apparent in at least of couple of sketches during the pre-Thanksgiving Kristen Wiig-hosted episode. The first, the pre-taped “Target Commercial,” featured cast member Cecily Strong in a mock ad for the open-on-Thanksgiving store, her gloomy demeanor forecasting a true Black… Read
