Saturday Night Live is currently in its 40th season and VH1 Classic is marking the occasion by putting on the biggest single marathon of a series ever.

433 hours of SNL will air on the network starting Jan. 28th. FXx’s Simpsons marathon only spanned 12 days, which would come out to only at 298 hours maximum.

The SNL Rewind: 2015 – 1975 Mega-Marathon will visit every single one of the 39 past seasons of the legendary live sketch variety show, which, for our money, means we’ll probably get to watch every bit of Celebrity Jeopardy again.

Sara Benincasa To Have Web Series for VH1

According to this tweet, the very funny Sara Benincasa just finished shooting a web series for VH1 called The Sara Benincasa Show.

We don’t have any details on the show or when it’s coming out beyond that, but the fact that Sara is going to have her own show should be more than enough to make all of you excited.

4) The march for the Onion getting a Pulitzer via their own grassroots organization AFAJP continues with the celebrity backing of Arianna Huffington, Tom Hanks, and Mario Batali. I wonder what Literally Unbelievable will makes of this.
