For Ego Nwodim, Leaving SNL Was Like Getting (Amicably) Divorced

Ego Nwodim speaks warmly about her seven years on Saturday Night Live. She says she learned a lot and had a great time, but felt it was time to pursue other opportunities. Nwodim joined the show in 2018 as a featured player and became a main cast member in 2020. Her hiring as the seventh Black woman on SNL was both celebrated by Leslie Jones and seen as a sign of the show’s ongoing lack of diversity. Jones pointed out how difficult it was to be one of so few Black women on the cast and asked Nwodim if she felt pressure to represent so much. Nwodim said she was proud to be part of that group, especially with Punkie Johnson joining after her, and hopes the show continues to find and include diverse talent. She also expressed that while she enjoyed playing a wide variety of characters, some viewers didn’t fully appreciate the range of her performances. It’s unclear who Nwodim might be referencing with a subtle comment, but her ability to convincingly portray both Dionne Warwick and a Disney mom proves her incredible versatility.

Stranger Things’ Darkest Death Was Nearly Twice as Horrifying

Bob Newby was introduced in Season 2 of Stranger Things as Joyce Byers’ kindhearted, though somewhat awkward, boyfriend. While he remained unaware of the supernatural dangers facing Will and the town for much of the season, viewers quickly liked him for being a genuinely good person who cared deeply for Joyce and her sons. This made his death in the episode “Chapter Eight: The Mind Flayer” – where he was tragically killed by demodogs – particularly upsetting. The scene was so graphic that the show’s creators, the Duffer brothers, shared in an interview with Time Magazine that even their mother thought it was too intense. Interestingly, they also revealed that Bob’s original fate in earlier drafts of the script was even more gruesome.

Daniel Craig Reveals The Worst Part Of His Star Wars Cameo 10 Years Later

Before the new movie came out, Daniel Craig’s appearance was a secret. It wasn’t until after the film was released that people found out about his cameo. This came about because Craig was filming the James Bond movie Spectre at the same time. He spoke with Ben Dixon, a second assistant director on both Spectre and The Force Awakens, about being in the new Star Wars film, and director J.J. Abrams made it happen.

All’s Fair Needs Twice As Much Sarah Paulson

Carrington Lane, played by Paulson, joins the show as a quiet lawyer working at a large, unpleasant law firm with colleagues Allura Grant (Kardashian) and Liberty Ronson (Watts). When Allura and Liberty receive permission from the firm’s only female partner, Dina Standish (Close), to start their own all-female practice, they can only bring one person with them – and they choose experienced investigator Emerald Greene (Nash-Betts). While Carr is a skilled lawyer who was often overshadowed by her more attractive coworkers, she’s also noticeably anxious and has a dramatic reaction to the news, throwing a fit in Dina’s office and damaging valuable antiques while shouting. Dina calmly points out that one of the broken items was a gift from Golda Meir, a line delivered with a mix of humor and sincerity. After that, Carr is largely unseen until the second episode, where she unexpectedly steals the show again with a memorable, aggressive letter and accompanying Edible Arrangement.
