Lorne Michaels really hit the jackpot when he somehow conjured up Saturday Night Live . The live TV sketch comedy show has just completed its 37th season, parodying everything from politics, to popular culture, to the very musical acts that perform on stage at Studio 8H. The show has been the perfect arena for some classic musical performances on a stage only small if you're speaking in terms of physical size. While many acts that have performed on SNL have been technically precise and entertaining, there have been a few snafus that are just as [...]

Sin lugar a dudas, uno de los episodios más esperados del programa Saturday Night Live fue el final de la temporada 37, mismo que se transmitió el fin de semana pasado. Hay varias razones para que este episodio generara tanta expectativa: Mick Jagger como conductor, Arcade Fire , los Foo Fighters , ¡ Jeff Beck !… Pues este final de temporada terminó siendo lo que debía, una explosión de música y comicidad comandada por Jagger, quien se unió a los invitados musicales, participó en los skits, en fin, ya lo verán ustedes [...]

It really feels like disco has died. The tragic news of Donna Summers last week coupled with the latest passing of Robin Gibb has solidified the final straw that disco is dead. Many people are quick to pass judgement on a genre of music that blended dance, soul and a lifestyle that many tried to emulate during a time that was filled with unemployment, war and wait a minute, doesn't seem like much as changed in the last couple of decades. SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER FOR LIFE! Mick Jagger breathed some new life into SNL as [...]
Nikolai Fraiture of the Strokes was there too.

Filed under: News , Television Kevin Mazur, WireImage With Mick Jagger , " Saturday Night Live " got two, if not three, hosts in one.

It's not enough that Mick Jagger had to host the season finale of SNL but when it was announced that Arcade Fire, Foo Fighters, Jeff Beck, Nikolai from the Strokes would be a part of Mick's band, you'd think that you'd have the most action packed SNL ever. But wait, what about the SNL Digital Short? Would we see members of all the bands in there? NOPE! We'd get a sequel to Lazy Sunday! Watch it below: What would Mick ...
The clue's in the title for this one. Tomorrow Mick Jagger hosts the season finale of Saturday Night Live and will be joined by guests Foo Fighters , Arcade Fire and Jeff Beck. Peep the little teaser promo video at the top. Make sure you cancel any plans you have tomorrow evening! (Via CoS )

The Arcade Fire, Foo Fighters and Jeff Beck are set to join the Mick Jagger-hosted SNL this weekend, so naturally some show promos involving all mentioned parties have hit the air. I'm not clear on what exactly everybody's role is - you might remember Arcade Fire popped up in a Digital Short a couple years ago - but rumors suggest that they might be jamming on some Stones classics. Watch the promos below. Read More...

Entertainment Weekly reports that the Arcade Fire and Foo Fighters will join Mick Jagger on Saturday Night Live 's season finale, which Jagger is hosting . Between Nirvana, Them Crooked Vultures, and Foo Fighters, this will be Grohl's ninth appearance on the show. It airs on 5/19.

The shitstorm from last night's SNL performance by overnight blog/hype/interwebs sensation, Lana Del Rey, was heard/seen all over the Twitters last night. Who says money can't buy you fame/press coverage and a slot on the musical stage over at SNL after being on the scene for less than a year. Many other artists more worthy have never graced the Saturday Night stage that have been around much longer and to add insult to injury, LDR's proper album has yet to be released. Sigh. It's funny what happens when you get a little collagen injected and [...]
After their second performance on Saturday Night Live last weekend, Arcade Fire made their trans-Atlantic trek to " Later ... with Jools Holland " to perform "Ready to Start" and "Month of May," a song I still consider to be among the weakest in the Arcade Fire catalog, both from The Suburbs . Arcade Fire - Ready to Start (Live on Later ... with Jools Holland) Arcade Fire - Month of May (Live [...]
With their appearance on SNL over the weekend, Arcade Fire once again transcended the tired late-night television format by offering water cooler-worthy performances of Suburbs cuts "We Used to Wait" and "Sprawl II." Since 2005, AF's late-night performances have been appointment viewing, as have their appearances on other burgeoning mediums such as La Blogotheque and Terry Gilliam's unprecedented Unstaged concert. Let's have a look. "Neighborhood #2 (Laika)" - Late Night w/ Conan O'Brien - 2/2005 An exciting network introduction to [...]

Over the weekend, Arcade Fire stopped by SNL and performed two definite highlights from the band's ever- impressive new album, The Suburbs - "We Used To Wait" and one of our favorite tunes of the year, "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)".
