Ellen Page to host March 1.
I am so excited for its return! Who is with me?
Live from New York, it will be Tina Fey on a new episode of Saturday Night Live! Producers have announced that the late-nighter will return Feb. 23 with the former head writer/cast member at the helm, making it one of the first programs to rebound from the three-month-long WGA strike. (No official word yet on when Fey's new baby, 30 Rock, will return, although Ausiello sez we should see five to 10 new eps sometime this spring.)
"It's been a long dry spell without Saturday Night Live on the air," Rick Ludwin, head of late-night entertainment at NBC, tells the AP. "They've been sitting on the sidelines watching all this happening in politics and the primaries. SNL thrives during an election year and they can't wait to get back on." Indeed! In fact, the last new SNL featured a skit in which Hillary Clinton hosted a Halloween party where the other candidates joked about the inevitability of her presidency. Barack Obama, wearing a "Barack Obama" mask, guest-starred. What a difference three months makes, huh?
Ellen Page, Juno's Oscar-nominated home skillet, has been confirmed to host SNL the following week — honest to blog! — Mickey O'Connor

Posted: 2/13/08 at 8:03pmI had a feeling they'd go with her as the short-notice host. And I'm setting my DVR as I type.

Posted: 2/13/08 at 11:18pmGreat news! I can't wait to see this. I have a feeling that this is going to be one of the best SNL's since Tina left.

Posted: 2/14/08 at 12:44pmI really wish they'd do a PROJECT RUNWAY parody. I think Maya Rudolph would make a hilarious Heidi Klum.

Posted: 2/24/08 at 1:39amI thought Steve Martin was the highlight, but then I find him the highlight of whatever he's involved in.

Posted: 2/24/08 at 9:41amI thought this was the funniest SNL since- gosh I can't remember when. I was worried when the opening sketch sort of laid there, but Fey's Monologue followed by the Once-a-year period pill commercial mad me laugh out loud. More Tina Please!

It was really funny. And I like how they kept making fun of the Oscar nominated movies. Is Mya still on the show?

Posted: 2/24/08 at 11:20amDon Pardo: 90 and looking and sounding great!!!!! I'm glad they mentioned him tonight, since they totally dissed him on the 25th anniversary special. He's been a great part of SNL since the very begining. I'm not positive, but I would say he's the only person to be with the show it's entire run. Didn't Lorne Michaels even leave for a while?

Do they ever re-air episodes? I missed it! 
Any of the sketches online yet?
#22re: SNL returns Feb. 23 with Fey!
Posted: 2/24/08 at 11:54amThey do air repeats. They have three more new episodes in a row schedules, so maybe after that this one will be on. That segment with Daniel Plainview and "I Drink Your Milkshake" was great. Bill Hader's impression of Daniel Day Lewis was spot on. And who was that new girl? Has she been on before?

No this was her first show.
Her Rachel Ray was pretty dead on.
I missed the last skit. I fell asleep during Carrie's last performance.
