Bowen Yang, a familiar face on Saturday Night Live since 2019, has showcased his comedic talents through a variety of characters, from impersonating figures like George Santos and Truman Capote to crafting original personas. He even explored the dynamics of a “Straight Male Friend” in a 2023 sketch with Travis Kelce. But on March 2nd, Yang took a surprising turn, portraying a heterosexual version of himself in the SNL short, Bowen’s Straight.

The sketch revolves around Sydney Sweeney, who develops a crush on Yang, only to discover a shocking truth: he’s secretly straight. According to him, playing gay is simply a career move, while his true “modus operandi” is charming women. He even flaunts his “straightness” by making out with both Gina Gershon and Sweeney.

Exclusive: Producer Kate Cohen (Jane Got a Gun) has tapped Oscar nominee Lesley Paterson (All Quiet on the Western Front) and Simon Marshall to script a feature adaptation of Viktor Frankl’s classic treatise, Man’s Search for Meaning. For Paterson’s husband and writing partner, Marshall, the project has taken on particular resonance of late, having just been diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer.
Translated into 50 languages, with over 16 million copies sold, Frankl’s riveting account of his time in the Nazi concentration camps, and his exploration of the human will to find meaning in spite of unspeakable adversity, has offered solace and guidance to generations of readers since it was first published in 1946. At the heart of his work is the conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but rather the pursuit of meaning.

It’s been two years since masked assailants gunned down celebrated rapper Young Dolph, whose legal name was Adolph Thornton Jr., as he shopped near his boyhood home in South Memphis.
For two years, Dolph’s fiancée has raised their young son and daughter alone while shouldering her profound grief — and staying largely silent on the murder case that grew to four defendants.
Mia Jaye now believes her silence was “taken for granted” by law enforcement. Going forward, she wants assurances justice for Young Dolph — the 36-year-old musician and Pre...

Shortly after actor Stephen Amell made headlines for calling the SAG-AFTRA strike “incredibly frustrating” and “myopic,” “Heels” showrunner Mike O’Malley called up his series’ star.
“We knew that [his comments] were going to distract from the hard work that the people in both the WGA, of which I’m a member, and SAG-AFTRA were doing,” O’Malley said in an interview with EW. “When I heard and I called him up, I said, ‘Stephen, man, we all got to stand together.’ He got it immediately.”
O’Malley went on to call the moment “unfortunate” and note that he “genuinely” thinks Amell “put his foot in his mouth.”
“He felt bad about it,” O’Malley said. “I think he was basically saying what a lot of people were saying, which was that they were frustrated that they couldn’t work. But I know where his heart is, and his heart is standing with his union,...

There's a reason athletes don't often host "Saturday Night Live," and recent Super Bowl champ Travis Kelce just proved why. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end took the stage at Studio 8H last night to make his hosting debut, and he brought the same enthusiasm that many professional athletes have brought to the late night sketch series before him, from Michael Jordan to Peyton Manning. However, though Kelce clearly has charisma, what he doesn't have are any of the other skills that make a good "SNL" host. That means that most of this new episode was a waste. Though there were sporadic laughs to be found, if it wasn't for the more reliable pieces of the "SNL" cast, this episode would have been a total dud.
So let's reluctantly dig into what the Travis Kelce-hosted episode of "Saturday Night Live" had to offer.
