Entertainment News With a Side of Dish
Though Jimmy Fallon might lack Jay Leno’s monologue mastery, he’s certainly superior in the sketch department. As a Saturday Night Live alum, Fallon knows how to keep it fresh, often asking his former cast mates for creative appearances on his show. Kristen Wiig captured the night with a horrible Harry Styles impression, which was so confusingly bad it was good. Click below to see Wiig chuck the English accent in favor of her own. Plus, she “sang.” Enjoy!

Watch a promo for his appearance below.
In a recent Los Angeles Times’ piece, the source of the flaws became more apparent. First, Brody was originally intended as a one-season centerpiece, and his popularity forced the writers to change their trajectory with very little time. Second, they lost two Executive Producers (one left to shoot The Bridge, and another sadly passed away).
The season three premiere of Homeland suggests that Damien Lewis’ character will no longer play a central role, and the real focus will switch to Claire Danes, whose relationship with Brody is publicly called into question, along with her mental health, her friendship with Saul, and the overall competence of the CIA.. It remains to be seen whether the audience can invest as heavily in another terrorist plot, given the dire lack of sub-plots in the first two seasons. As for Carrie, something tells me another Saturday Night Live skit dedicated to her excessive tears is coming soon. Though I will suspend disbelief, I won’t hang from a mental trapeze while doing in-air somersaults. I’m too old for cartoons.
With every attack, Kanye trades humility for haughtiness, pounding his chest while screaming about his world domination. My arm-chair psychology degree tells me that the man is simply insecure, and with each jab, he throws a boulder. His recent outrage surrounds Jimmy Kimmel, who made fun of the rapper’s recent BBC 1 interview (see below), using children to reenact his pompous declarations. I can only assume Kimmel thought of children because Kanye was in fact acting like a spoiled child, whining about his legos while slamming the floor.
Many people speculate that Kanye’s demise began with his mother’s passing, assuming she reeled in these rants. Since then, it can also be assumed that he’s surrounded himself with “yes-men,” and only agrees to do interviews where he may speak freely (he was sandbagged by Matt Lauer — and never quite recovered). My advice to Kanye West is to dismantle his twitter, find some real friends to reign him in, and to host Saturday Night Live. If that doesn’t work — call Alec Baldwin. He’s a master at cleaning up his temper tantrums — and Kanye can learn a thing or two.
