At Sunday night's Primetime Emmy Awards, history was made, and the current political climate was not only mentioned numerous times, but also led directly to a bunch of wins for one particular show. That show was Saturday Night Live, which took home four trophies, including one for Alec Baldwin, whose portrayal of President Donald Trump has been a highlight of the show's most recent season.
NEW YORK>> President Donald Trump never won an Emmy, it's true. But his presence was felt at this year's television awards ceremony more than any actor, writer or producer.
President Donald Trump never won an Emmy, it's true. But his presence was felt at this year's television awards ceremony more than any actor, writer or producer.
Weeks after leaving his job, former White House press secretary Sean Spicer, , was onstage at the Emmy Awards on Sunday joking about one of his first - and more dubious - claims from the press room. Host Stephen Colbert, playing the straight man in his opening monologue, said it was difficult to tell how many people would be watching the show.
The Latest on the Emmy Awards, which are being presented Sunday in Los Angeles at the Microsoft Theater : A raucous Emmy audience inside the Microsoft Theater laughed loudly and often as Colbert, not surprisingly, made President Donald Trump the butt of one joke after another. But the audience gasped with genuine surprise when Colbert called out Spicer to ask how big a crowd was watching the Emmys and he responded that it was the largest ever in a statement similar to his widely mocked claim that Trump's inauguration drew the largest crowd ever.
Politics couldn't help but make its way onto the Emmy Awards stage, especially since host Stephen Colbert noted that President Donald Trump was the biggest TV star of the past year. In fact, Colbert blamed the Emmys for Trump's election as president.
Beloved "Saturday Night Live" personality - and the longest serving "anchor" on the show's wildly popular "Weekend Update" - Seth Meyers takes over as host of NBC's "Late Night," home to A-list celebrity guests, memorable comedy and the best in musical talent. As the Emmy-winning head writer for SNL, Seth has established a reputation for his sharp wit and perfectly timed comedy and has gained fame for his spot-on impersonations, unique characters and hilarious spoofing of topical news.
The show devoted an 8-minute sketch to the impression, which ended with McCarthy's Spicer finally meeting up with Alec Baldwin's Donald Trump. The Spicer sketch started off with Sarah Huckabee Sanders, played by "Saturday Night Live" cast member Aidy Bryant, filling in for the White House press secretary.
Sure, Congressional Democrats are voting and speaking out against Trump's proposals on issues like health care, but few of them can garner national headlines or get a video to go viral. Comedians, on the other hand, are now the ones with a "bully pulpit" to raise issues in ways that dominate our social media feeds and impact the larger political conversation.
President Donald Trump tweeted a critique of the media for being "rude to my very hard-working representatives" on Monday, only minutes after counselor Kellyanne Conway completed a series of interviews on television morning shows. Conway's interviews, including one that appeared to signal a thaw in the administration's relationship with CNN, were at times combative, exasperating and fascinating - an illustration of how the administration and reporters are often talking past each other and how she's become something of a cult figure.
"Moonlight" - not, as it turned out, "La La Land" - won best picture at the Academy Awards in a historic Oscar upset and an unprecedented fiasco that saw one winner swapped for another while the "La La Land" producers were in mid-speech. "Moonlight" director Barry Jenkins called it "an imperfect way for us to get the perfect result."
Page Six reports that on Wednesday night, Clinton and McKinnon dined together at Orzo near Times Square, when the former Secretary of State was in town to see the Broadway show "Sunset Boulevard" with Glenn Close . Said someone who was allegedly seated nearby, "Lots of laughter emanated from their table."
Alec Baldwin, who has scored in guest shots on "Saturday Night Live" with his mocking impersonation of Donald Trump since the campaign's final weeks, presided Saturday night as guest host of the NBC comedy show, serving up yet another Trump masquerade. In his spoof, President Trump made good on a tweeted vow to "see you in court" directed at the three Ninth Circuit federal judges who last week refused to lift a stay preventing his immigration ban from being enforced.
Kate McKinnon and Alec Baldwin during the 'Christmas Cold Open' sketch on Saturday Night Live on Dec. 17, 2016 in New York City. Kate McKinnon played Attorney General Jeff Sessions on the Feb. 11 episode of Saturday Night Live , but she didn't neglect her usual gig -- a terrifying impression of presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway.
In an interview with Vanity Fair , The Good Wife star said she was game to tackle the role of Betsy DeVos, the controversial Secretary of Education, on the NBC show. "It would seem somewhat logical-we have that strong jawline, don't we?" she told the publication.
"I'm not raising money, and I haven't officially declared," said Piscopo in an telephone interview with NJ Advance Media on Thursday afternoon. The former "Saturday Night Live" star, who was raised in North Caldwell and now lives in Lebanon Township in Hunterdon County, said he is "just doing due diligence" and exploring a run for governor, speaking to Republican leaders in the state about what would be involved.
Alec Baldwin returned to Saturday Night Live this weekend to reprise his role as Donald Trump, taking jabs at the president-elect's relationship with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, his cabinet picks, his misspelled tweets, and the refusal by some musicians to perform at his inauguration. But also notable about the episode is the return of cast member Kate McKinnon's Hillary Clinton in a sketch later in the show, inspired by the 2003 romantic comedy Love Actually .
