Nikki Glazer began her “SNL” monologue with an ode to the Big Apple. “I’m here in Epstein’s original island, New York City!” Later in her monologue, she talked about her Gen Z friends who are “very afraid of being trafficked,” before returning to the topic of the notorious sex offender and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. “When I was in my 20s, I was just scared of good old-fashioned rape. We never thought it would be a job. We never thought it would be anything more than a temporary job on the futon in our apartment,” said Glaser, 41. “They say,…

On this week’s episode of “Saturday Night Live,” Commander-in-Chief James Austin Johnson brags from the Oval Office about the government shutdown that has been in place since Oct. 1, as he spoke directly to President Trump in the cold. “The Supreme Court said we can stop feeding the poor, and you can clap for that. Snap!” Trump said. “For people who can afford to buy food — no, they can’t. We promised that food prices would plummet, and they did. Prices plummeted. People say, ‘But how are you going to buy your family a turkey for Thanksgiving? Well, the good…

“Saturday Night Live” poked fun at “The Jennifer Hudson Show’s” viral “Spirit Tunnel” video with an in-episode sketch with Nikki Glazer. The sketch, styled like an antidepressant ad, opens with a shot of Glaser looking sadly out the window at the rain outside. In a voiceover, the woman says, “Are you anxious? Are you overwhelmed? Are you feeling less like yourself? Are you experiencing intense feelings of foreboding and fear? If so, you may be one of the many celebrities scheduled to dance through Jennifer Hudson’s psychic tunnel.” On her phone, Glazer was watching a TikTok video of stars like…

Giulio Bass started his journey to the Turin Film Festival from scratch. In 1982, when he was just 17 years old, he took part in the first edition of the convention, then called Cinema Giovani (“Festival of Young Cinema”) and co-founded by Alberto Barbera. From that moment on, he was hooked. Over the next 40 years, as the festival’s name, scope and reputation grew, Barze built a career both in front of and behind the camera, earning critical acclaim for his directorial work and international acclaim for his theologically themed films. Forty-one years after that first encounter, he returned to…

Pete Davidson made a surprise return to “Saturday Night Live” with a big Weekend Update segment that covered Zoran Mamdani’s election victory in New York, Davidson’s controversial decision to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival and jokes about his old boss Lorne Michaels. “If Lorne Michaels has taught us anything, it’s to never give up, even if everyone says it’s time and Tina Fey is ready to take over,” Davidson said, drawing scattered but passionate applause from the crowd and a rather creepy off-screen laugh from Weekend Update co-anchor Michael Che. Davidson’s patience came after Colin Jost introduced him to…

Would you like a penny for our ideas? Gwyneth Paltrow’s loafers are perfect for fall. On September 27, the Goop founder dressed up for a birthday celebration in Portofino, Italy. She looked ready to celebrate in a classy cat-bow blouse (which Duchess Kate wore earlier this fall), a luxurious zip-up sweater, and cropped wide-leg trousers. And she completed her look with preppy penny loafers, as heels are totally impractical on the cobblestone streets. According to stylist Cynthia Kennedy, it’s a “true classic brought back.” Plus, they “instantly make jeans or pants look more sophisticated without sacrificing comfort,” she previously told…
