Saturday Night Live has jump-started many-a-career, from Chris Rock to Adam Sandler, to Well Ferrell and Jimmy Fallon. However, there have been some household names for which SNL was simply a pit stop, their stints on the show going widely unrecognized and for the most part forgotten. Nevertheless, at one point each of these actors decided to try their hands at sketch comedy, although none of their appearances lasted much longer than a Kardashian wedding. After the jump, check out a group of celebs you would have never guessed used to be on SNL!

It’s nice to see that Saturday Night Live can still bring the heat. Those of us who tuned into the comedy sketch show this weekend were treated to a complete destruction of the entire Kardashian family in their Kardashian Divorce Special. Since some of you might have been watching the LSU / Alabama game or just been crushing beers while doing something else, we’re posting the video for you to see here. I don’t want to ruin any of the jokes for you, but this is absolute comedy gold.

This past weekend was the premiere episode of Saturday Night Live’s 37th season. Alec Baldwin was the host (for the eleventieth time) and integral part of yet another round of hilarious “never before seen” screen test auditions. This time, it was for the 25th anniversary of Top Gun. These always seem to do so well, it’s amazing they haven’t done more. Take a look at this past weekend’s clips along with the other classics then let us know which movie you think they should do next in the comments section after the jump.

July 21st is National Junk Food Day, which should be pretty self-explanatory. Just last week, news broke that Frito-Lay would put Cheesy Poofs into production, with plans to manufacture 1.5 million 2 3⁄8 ounce bags sold at the somewhat ridiculous price of $2.99 each. To honor these 2 momentous occasions we decided to take a look at some other fictional foods we hope make it to the marketplace (at a lower cost) in real life. Is this real life? We hope not. Check it out and let us know if we missed any in the comments after the jump.

Zach Galifianakis is at that point in his career where pretty much everything he sh*ts out becomes comedy gold. Last night, he hosted Saturday Night Live and the feedback from the internet community is Zach saved what was otherwise a “mediocre show“. His monologue wasn’t too shabby and his scared straight appearance as a Hannibal Lecter-esque cannibal were among the best live sketches but the winner, in my book, was the SNL Digital Short. Anytime you involve kids in adult-themed comedy, it’s gonna be hilarious. Zach is able to do what Bill Cosby couldn’t on Kids Say The Darndest Things. See the video after the jump!

It’s hard to imagine a time when the television airwaves weren’t filled with mind-numbing, superficial reality TV shows. However, there was a time when the boob tube wasn’t so bad. Over the past 50+ years we’ve been able to watch pioneering programs that have deeply affected American culture and the media industry as a whole. Who knows where’d we be without their inflluences? Some say we’re worse off because of the envelope it pushed while others praise them for revolutionizing the way we think and behave. Take a look and let us know what you think. See our picks after the jump!

This morning, I asked BroBible via their Facebook wall, “What’s the best thing you’ve seen all week?” A dude named Jeremy Chaput from Toronto responded with a link to this “Like a Bosh” video by The Basketball Jones. You might recognize the beat and rhythm – that’s because it’s a parody Slim Thug’s “Like a Boss”, which was also spoofed in the Saturday Night Live Digital Short called, “Like a Boss” featuring Seth Rogen and Andy Samberg, which you can view below. Somehow this “Like a Bosh” clip slipped under our radar. We’re sure a few of you have seen this before but we definitely think it’s worth another view.

Many would argue the best part of SNL is the Digital Short. Thanks to Andy Samberg, his comedy group Lonely Island, and celebrity cameos, we have such gems as “Dick In A Box“, “Natalie (Portman) Raps”, “Lazy Sunday“, “I Just Had Sex“, “Like A Boss“, “I’m On A Boat“, “Jizz In My Pants“. One video that doesn’t get as much credit, but should, is the quick-hitting short called, “Business Meeting with Rainn Wilson“. There are so many off-the-wall characters thrown into your face at breakneck speed, it’s hard to keep up, but the one character that stands out with a delicious performance is the Gigantic Turkey Sub. Check out the video below then vote for your favorite “employee” in our poll.

With Jesse Eisenberg hosting Saturday Night Live this past weekend and The Social Network looking to snag a few Oscars in a little under a month, we thought we’d take a look at 8 types of creepers Facebook’s created. If you’ve seen The Social Network, Jesse’s portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg might lead one to believe Facebook’s founder is a creeper himself. What do you think? Take a look at our rundown and let us know in the comments.
