Exclusive: We have the first major cast addition for the upcoming fourth season of Only Murders In the Building. Molly Shannon has been tapped for a season-long arc on the mystery comedy.
Per usual, the producers are keeping the storyline under wraps but, as Disney Television Group President Craig Erwich revealed in a Deadline interview, the Only Murders In the Building trio of Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short) and Mabel (Selena Gomez) will kick off the new season with a trip to Los Angeles before returning to The Arconia in their search of Saz’s killer.
I hear Shannon will play a high powered LA business woman who finds herself drawn into the world of the investigation in NY.
Shannon, a three-time Emmy nominee, spent six seasons as a member of the repertory company on Saturday Night Live, creating a gallery of memorable characters such as schoolgirl Mary Katherine Gallagher,...

One of Molly Shannon‘s most popular “Saturday Night Live” characters of all time is Mary Katherine Gallagher, the socially awkward schoolgirl who “sticks [her] fingers under [her] arms and smells ’em like that.” During NBC’s latest “SNL” promo video (watch above), this week’s host tells cast member Ego Nwodim and musical guest Jonas Brothers that if they’re “nervous” to be working with her, all they need to do is follow her lead. Cut to everyone smelling their own armpits in synchronicity.
Shannon will host the Saturday, April 8 episode of NBC’s late night sketch comedy series. It’s her second time hosting the program after a 2007 episode with musical guest Linkin Park. Of course, Shannon got her big break on “Saturday Night Live” in 1995 as a regular cast member, staying for seven seasons until 2001. Some of her other popular characters were Sally O’Malley from various sketches, Helen Madden from “Pretty Living,...

Ever since the start, "Saturday Night Live" has given us bold, weird character actresses who seesawed between deadly one-liners and powerful impersonations. Gilda Radner charmed you with insanity. Jane Curtin jarred you with sarcasm. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Nora Dunn, and Jan Hooks balanced goofy caricatures with serious thespian chops. But when Molly Shannon joined "SNL" 20 years ago in February of 1995, a new wave of female characterizations began on Lorne Michaels' revue: Suddenly women could be the zaniest, ballsiest performers in the entire telecast -- and with the biggest grins on their face, to boot. Shannon was joined in the cast by Groundlings loon Cheri Oteri later in 1995; Northwestern alum and onetime violin prodigy Ana Gasteyer came in '96. The trio found inventive ways to mock new distaff phenomena in pop culture like "The View" and Lilith Fair while injecting carnality, cool intelligence, and even scariness into familiar "SNL" roles for women.

Make people laugh and they won't even realize you're making them think. Over the past 50 years, women have broken through the glass ceiling time after time, shattering stereotypes and thumbing their noses at the old chestnut that "Women aren't funny." Fact: Anybody who says women aren't funny doesn't want them to be funny. We're looking back on the 50 funniest women of the past 50 years, their contributions to comedy, and their enduring legacies that inspire men and women alike. These are the 50 women who have helped (and are helping) to introduce the next class of hilarious women, which will inevitably include Amy Schumer, Lena Dunham, Mindy Kaling, Tig Notaro, Chelsea Handler, Maria Bamford, Aubrey Plaza, and Kate McKinnon. Keep in mind this list only includes women who are primarily performers in movies, television, and standup comedy. That's why you don't see legends like Nora Ephron, Anne Beatts, and Elaine May here.

We got a hint about the return of Chris Kattan's beloved, bothered, and torturously sexy "SNL" character Mango a month ago on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," and now? The revolution is upon us. In this epic clip for Alexander Wang, Mango returns. He's ready for stardom. How can one man be so, so hot while screaming like a fussy Muppet Baby? I will never know. God, I love late '90s "SNL." Can the next Alexander Wang video include Cinder Calhoun or Helen Madden, please?...
