“Performing on that show is pure joy and they give you so much to work with,” Shannon says. But this is Shannon’s first nomination for the role. In its original run, “Will & Grace” yielded multiple guest star nominations and won statues for Gene Wilder, Bobby Cannavale and Leslie Jordan.
I was given so much to play with.”Īlso given a lot of room to go crazy - literally - is Shannon, who returned to the reboot of “Will & Grace” as neighbor Val Bassett, who goes to extreme measures to befriend Karen (Megan Mullally). “Her off-stage persona is completely different, erudite, smug and self-satisfied. “That kind of character-driven, loud and out there comedy was a joy to embody,” she says. “That it’s only a guest spot doesn’t really change the way I approach it.”Įven though her appearance was only in one episode (“Put That on Your Plate!”) in the freshman comedy, she says the role was incredibly layered. “I created this role in the same way I create any role,” she says. Lynch has already won Emmys in three different categories for her work on “Glee,” “Hollywood Game Night” and “Dropping the Soap” and says she puts just as much thought into a guest spot as any other character. Also nominated for her guest turn as Sophie Lennon, a female comic living a secret life on “The Marvelous Mrs. It’s not just hosts who are allowed to show range, though. I call it the ‘SNL Stress Diet.’ There’s so much moving around, doing so many things,” she says. Haddish was also Emmy-eligible for other projects, including “The Last O.G.,” but says hosting was the hardest job she did last year. Anyone who’s ever hosted will tell you that.” “I think your colleagues are impressed with what you do. You have one chance to land it, and it’s on live television.” The immediacy of ‘SNL’ makes it exciting, but terrifying.”Īsked why the hosting gig breeds so many nominations, Hader says: “Maybe it’s the high-wire act of it. “You’re usually working with all new stuff you wrote that week whereas with ‘Barry’ we’ve had time to think and talk and hone things for months. “It’s such a ticking clock on ‘SNL,’ you have to be your best self,” he says. Quotes of the Week: Suits, HTGAWM, New Girl, S.H.I.E.L.D.The hosting recognition is one of five nominations for Hader, who was also nominated for writing, directing, producing and starring in HBO’s “Barry.” Hader, who was previously nommed for hosting in 2015 and in 20 as supporting actor when he was a cast member, says that for him, hosting is a completely different animal. Which performance knocked your socks off this week? Tell us in Comments! Reinhart’s exploration of Betty’s hidden depths has quickly emerged as one of Riverdale biggest selling points. And when Betty heard not-so-flattering rumors about her sister Polly, the pain that flickered across Reinhart’s face let us glimpse the deep wounds beneath Betty’s polished façade. In her quest to get revenge on a chauvinist football player, Betty went way overboard, and Reinhart’s unhinged intensity made the scene legitimately terrifying. (Like, she literally lives next door to Archie.) But Miss Goody Two-Shoes went bad this week… and Reinhart rose to the challenge. | As Riverdale‘s Betty Cooper, Lili Reinhart is the epitome of the classic girl-next-door.
#MELISSA SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE PERFORMER FULL#
For this magnificent achievement, we not only anoint her Performer of the Week, we offer her a standing ovation lasting a full 15 minutes.
Throughout the eight-minute sketch, McCarthy nailed not only the combative tone with which Spicer addresses the media but also his habit of blaming reporters for questioning statements that he and Trump have made (which is all it takes, you know, to make them “facts forever”). Then again, we were already pretty sure that McCarthy’s rageful take on “Spicy” went beyond merely hilarious by the time she’d made us laugh so hard, we’d spat out our cinnamon gum twice: first, when she had the flack apologize to himself on behalf of the press - and reject the apology! - then, when she managed to keep a straight face as she pulled out a piece of plastic poop as a visual aid to explain that her boss would not be “da turd”… er, “deterred.” THE PERFORMANCE | How can we be certain that McCarthy’s SNL parody of White House press secretary Sean Spicer wasn’t merely flawless but genius? Donald Trump - who’s complained on Twitter about everything from Alec Baldwin’s portrayal of him to daughter Ivanka being (cough) “treated so unfairly” by Nordstrom - was reportedly so perturbed by the funnywoman’s impression that he made the “unpresidented” decision not to tweet about it!
