Rahm Emanuel Fun-Fact Addendum: Probably Loathes Andy Samberg

6:51AM STV | We’d like to take just a moment to officially append our 20 Fun Facts About Rahm Emanuel, Ari’s power-broker brother who’s expected to bring a little profane, alpha-male flair to the White House as Barack Obama’s chief of staff. We’ll call this Fun Fact #21: Was impersonated by Andy Samberg on Saturday Night Live in a skit eventually spiked by the show’s producers, perhaps fearing it could overshadow any one of host Tim McGraw’s own, more solemn stabs at comedy. OR for one of a couple of other reasons after the jump — where you’ll find the clip as well. More »

6:00AM Seth | Say Hi To Sarah Palin For Us, OK? Just as predicted by a jaded and/or savvy Defamer commenter, Mark Wahlberg’s threats against Andy Samberg’s nose may in fact be part of an elaborate set-up for the actor’s appearance on SNL. Says Usmagazine.com: “A source hints that Wahlberg will appear on SNL this weekend to get his revenge in person.” Add that to a confirmed appearance by “Sling Blade” Sarah Palin, and we’ll have a real pop culture hall of mirrors tomorrow night. Perhaps all four will be squeezed into one sketch that involves Andy-Mark trying to make conversation with a moose recently felled by Tina-Sarah, a scenario interrupted when their real-life inspirations saunter along to register their disapproval and bust some big, Jewish noses.

Mark Wahlberg To ‘Crack’ Andy Samberg’s ‘Big Fucking Nose’

2:00AM Seth | Having already made it clear that he was less than amused with Andy Samberg’s take on him as an amateur goat-whisperer from the mean streets of Mass (an impersonation we’ve hailed as pure genius—but Marky, if you’re reading this, we hated it!), Mark Wahlberg upped the stakes considerably on a Jimmy Kimmel Live! appearance last night.

‘SNL’ Moves To Next Level With Gimp-Hindered Sister Act And A Donkey-Curious Mark Wahlberg

8:50AM Seth | While much has been made of Tina Fey’s return to SNL this season—starring as Sarah Palin in a series of pitch-perfect cold-opens that could well be the only things preventing a frayed America from tumbling off a flat Earth’s edge—this week’s episode also brought two other hilarious and viral-worthy sketches we thought we’d share. The first involves a Lawrence Welk Show-era sister act with a dark, attic-bound secret, played by Kristen Wiig. The second features Andy Samberg as Max Payne star Mark Wahlberg, in conversation with a variety of farm animals. Look—us explaining it is just delaying the funny. They’re both after the jump.

What’s Your Dental Damage, Kermit The Blog?

7:22AM Mark Graham | When Ellen Page strutted onto the stage of Studio 8H to deliver her monologue on this week’s episode of SNL dressed like one of the Sweathogs, we didn’t pay it much mind. With the benefit of hindsight (and after having seen this skit), maybe our eyebrows should have risen ever so slightly. But, at the time, we were too busy enjoying Andy Samberg’s impression of Diablo Cody to wonder about the Ellen Page Sexuality Sweepstakes. While all you bloggers and froggers out there will likely concur that his Diablo didn’t quite reach the level of the Diablo impersonator in the Funny Or Die video, we did love the calvacade of blog references that he managed to mix into his impression. The video, along with a complete list of all of the blog-related catchphrases in the making follows after the jump: More »

Amply Endowed Andy Samberg Woos The Lady-Loving Ladies

4:20AM Defamer Hollywood | A behind-the-scenes video for a Paper magazine covershoot featuring everyone’s favourite once-a-week cupcake-binger, Andy Samberg, teased us with the promise of probing insights into the precise length and girth of his legendary, giftwrap-penetrating member. But it was the off-camera sounds of subject-on-photographer tonsil hockey that really got our motors revving: a real-time lesbian conversion that fully cements Samberg’s status as the reigning SNL heartthrob.

Golden Boy Justin Timberlake Can Stick His Dick In A Box And Win An Award

7:45AM Defamer Hollywood | There was perhaps no better moment in capturing the wildly divergent career paths taken by former Mickey Mouse Club co-stars and lovers Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears than this weekend, when Timberlake not only swept the same MTV trophy ceremony on which Spears hammered the last press-on nail into her comeback coffin, but also managed to score an Emmy award for a boner-joke parody song done as a lark for a Saturday Night Live guest-hosting stint: “I think it’s safe to say that when we first set out to make this song, we were all thinking ‘Emmy!’” Samberg said in accepting the award Saturday for best original music and lyrics.
