ABC's Supermarket Sweep Revival: Grade the Premiere ABC this Sunday night revived  Supermarket Sweep , hosted by  SNL  vet Leslie Jones. Did the latest version of the popular game show ring your register? In keeping with at least the most recent versions of the show (I don’t remember  that  far back, kids),  Supermarket Swayyyyyyyp!  takes three teams of two contestants, plies them with grocery-themed quizzes/challenges through which they can add seconds to their “clock,” and then sets them loose on a Big Sweep through a supermarket. (Based on the total seconds each team accumulated, their Big Sweep start times are staggered — meaning, among other things, the first pair out of the gate gets first crack at the priciest items.  If  they know what they are doing.) To refresh my memory of #BeforeTimes, after watching one episode of ABC’s revival I cued up a  1994 episode hosted by David Ruprecht  in one of his famously loud sweaters. And while that edition and the new one are clearly i

NBC/Getty Images Kanye West 's "Heartless" is probably playing on repeat. Why you might ask? The  Jesus Is King  rapper was  briefly mentioned in a joke  on  Saturday Night Live  on Oct. 17. Host  Issa Rae  put her comedic skills on full display, especially during the "Your Voice Chicago" sketch. For the skit, the  Insecure  creator played a lawyer representative for the NAACP who was appearing on a morning talk show with  Kenan Thompson  as an anchor. Issa quipped that she was "voting for everybody Black"  when discussing the political candidates . The one-liner was a cheeky reference to her  red carpet interview  at the  2017 Emmy Awards  when she said she was "rooting for everybody Black." Continuing the sketch, the HBO star expressed, "For too

Kirstie Alley responds to 'nasty people' criticizing her decision to vote again for Donald Trump Kirstie Alley is standing up for her decision to vote for President Donald Trump. The "Cheers" and "Look Who's Talking" actress has  never been shy about her support  of the president and  criticism of Democratic nominee Joe Biden , frequently posting on social media about her conservative views.  On Saturday, Alley leaned in. "I’m voting for @realDonaldTrump because he’s NOT a politician," the actress  tweeted , ahead of the Nov. 3 election. "I voted for him 4 years ago for this reason and shall vote for him again for this reason. He gets things done quickly and he will turn the economy around quickly. There you have it folks there you have it" Comments were quick and pointed, with many replying to slam the president's handling of the coronavirus and the economic fallout, among other things. And it wasn't long before Alley's n

Kanye West responds to Issa Rae's 'SNL' joke: 'I'm praying for her' (CNN) Kanye West is speaking out after being mentioned in Issa Rae's  "Saturday Night Live" skit. The "Insecure" actress played a lawyer for the NAACP appearing on Kenan Thompson's made-up morning talk show, "Your Voice Chicago," about the upcoming presidential election. In the first moments of the skit, Rae said she would be "voting for everybody Black" -- a play on her viral comment at the 2017 Emmy Awards that she was "rooting for everybody Black." Seconds before the end of the skit, Rae quickly got the last word by responding to Thompson's mention of Kanye West with, "Kanye? F him!" along with an eye roll. West responded to the joke by  tweeting , "Ive always said SNL uses black people to hold other black people back My heart goes out to Issa Rae I'm praying for her and her family."

Issa Rae Likens ‘Saturday Night Live’ Debut To “Prom” During Opening Monologue Issa Rae   made her   Saturday Night Live   hosting debut and reflected on her success within the past four years. Upon her entrance the   Insecure   and   The Photograph   star said it was an honor to walk and perform on the same stage as the comedy legends that came before her, including Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Of course, that debut came with some nerves. “I’m scared that I might throw up but I gotta hold it down because I’m the first black person to host  SNL  y’all,” the actress joked before she told audience members otherwise. “I’m not, but you believed it for a sec.” She went on to say how she’s coming to host the sketch series in a peculiar moment, given the COVID-19 and the upcoming presidential election. Rae recalled how  Insecure  premiered on HBO around of the 2016 election and the eventual victory of Donald Trump. “It felt really awkward for my life to be going so good. It was rude to be peakin
