New York Knicks guard and 2026 NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson won another accolade on Saturday: most valuable player at his office job. The first-time Saturday Night Live host played Darius, who tries to “shoot” his sandwhich wrapper into the garbage at the buzzer to impress his colleagues. After he comes up short, the others in the office get back to work, talking about grants and regulations. But Darius isn’t satisfied. “Guys, it turns out it wasn’t the last shot of the game,” he says, sparking confusion. “The referee said there’s still one second left on the clock.” He comes…
Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update mocked Donald Trump‘s actions while hosting his Chinese counterpart for a three-day state visit, as well as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth‘s transphobic military mantra. “On Thursday, Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in D.C. for a state visit, and President Trump drove to meet him at the airport like a boyfriend with no job,” Colin Jost began, referring to Jinping’s arrival at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, where Trump rolled out a 100-foot red carpet. “Then Trump ordered military jets to do a flyover to project strength.” Jost then cut to the flyover of the B-2…
Saturday Night Live kicked off Season 52 by addressing one of the more disturbing elements of the Trump administration’s inner workings that came to light over the summer: White House aide Natalie Harp‘s relationship to the president. Harp, 35, has been Donald Trump‘s executive assistant since his first day back in office, and is often by his side. A former host on right-wing television station One America News and later an aide on Trump’s 2024 campaign, Harp helps manage his social media account, and, as his “human printer,” feeds him positive stories. In letters Harp sent him in 2023—ones that…
As an object, Northern Exposure is a milestone of the format’s rapid institutionalization in the mid 1990s. In the UK, the legal mix CD market had begun in earnest in 1992 with Journeys by DJ, which tapped artists like Billy Nasty, Judge Jules, Danny Rampling, and Paul Oakenfold to relay a British take on house music. Mixmag Live! got its start the same year with cassettes featuring side-long sets from pairs of DJs—Carl Cox on one side and Dave Seaman on the other; Grooverider backed by Justin Robertson—and eventually graduated to single-artist showcases.Sasha and Digweed both played individual roles in…

Todd Rundgren has taken aim at Taylor Swift, claiming there is an argument that she has “ruined music” and describing the superstar as the “apotheosis of mediocrity”. The veteran singer-songwriter and producer made the comments in an interview with Vulture, after being asked which contemporary artist he would target if he were making an album intended as a parody. The question referred to Rundgren’s production of Meat Loaf’s 1977 blockbuster ‘Bat Out Of Hell’, which he has previously said he approached partly as a spoof of Bruce Springsteen. Asked who he would choose if he were doing the same thing…
The 1975’s Matty Healy has given fans an exciting update on the band’s long-awaited new album, revealing that it is “almost done”.

Varga’s death was announced Friday by GWAR bassist Casey “Beefcake The Mighty” Orr; in June, the band started a fundraiser in support of Varga as he battled cancer. “Chuck Varga has left this earthly realm. He passed peacefully, his beloved wife Bambi holding his hand,” Orr wrote. “He was one of a kind. As an artist, as a performer; as a scholar and a gentleman. I’m better for having known him and the world is…
From the second Nene Royal stepped onstage for her America’s Got Talent audition, it was clear she was going to be totally different from most contestants. She stood shyly, explaining she was a 16-year-old girl from Thailand, while her electric guitar rested at her hips. Then, she picked it up and began shredding as she launched into a thrashing, face-melting version of “Zombie” by the Cranberries. Within minutes, she had a standing ovation and a wildly viral moment on her hands: The audition clip currently has a whopping 21 million views and quickly made Royal a fan favorite on the…
