House of the Dragon’s arrival this year was meant to be but the first step in a grand return to the world of Westeros—with plans for everything from knightly adventures to the return of Jon Snow on the cards. But while there are still plenty of plans in the works, it might take a little longer to get round to them…

Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Kieran Culkin reprise their ‘Father of the Bride’ roles in ‘SNL’ spoof

Steve Martin and Martin Short reprised their iconic Father of the Bride characters, George Banks and wedding planner Franck Eggelhoffer, respectively, in a spoof on Saturday Night Live.
In Father of the Bride 8, the titular bride, Annie Banks (Heidi Gardner), is ready to give marriage an eighth shot, but the Banks are understandably financially and emotionally drained. The parody plays with the premise of the classic 1991 Nancy Meyer rom-com and riffs on endless franchises. Chloe Fineman tests out her Diane Keaton impression as the mother of the bride, Nina, who became a Lyft driver to pay for the weddings and Kieran Culkin shows up to remind us that he played Annie’s kid brother all those years ago, and grown Matty Banks still talks like a child.
Martin and Short’s Only Murders in the Building co-star, Selena Gomez, popped in to name her price as a wedding singer ($1.8 million) rounding out the star-studded sketch.
Steve Martin and Martin Short teach a science lesson in ‘SNL’ skit

In a very special presentation of “Science Classroom,” Saturday Night Live hosts Steve Martin and Martin Short teach a science lesson about snow with the help of junior volunteers Lonnie (Cecily Strong) and Josh (Mikey Day).
Lonnie and Josh aren’t the brightest but they’re trying their best and they’re definitely testing the patience of Martin and Short. If you’ve ever wanted to know the frustration behind being a teacher, well this sketch is for you.
It’s understandable that some might have a hard time answering science questions but even knock-knock jokes are met with baffling responses. Honestly, thinking about this skit has frustrated me more than the hosts. I need a break.
