- James Talarico Crashes Saturday Night Live Cold Open, Vows to Work Together With...
You knew it was coming. Saturday Night Live kicked off its first show since the blue wave crashed down on the Republicans in the midterms by ribbing everyone from President Donald Trump to Vice President JD Vance to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and even old guard Democrats like Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). But the star of the cold open was Senator-elect James Talarico (D), who sent the New York audience into a frenzy when the Texas progressive jumped on stage the moment “Trump” — played by James Austin Johnson — mentioned “Talafreako.” “That’s Senator Talafreako,” Talarico quipped. The crowd roared for 14 seconds before Talarico could get back to his routine. “Hi America, I’m James Talarico, or the guy who’s been texting you everyday, asking you for five dollars,” he said. “In this economy, who can blame you,” Trump chimed in. “But I think, Mr. President, if we can work together, we can make life better for everyday Americans. It’s clear people want something new, they want something different. I’m talking, of course, about SNL’s cold opens. How many of these Trump freezes are they gonna do?” he asked. “Infinity!” Trump insisted. Talarico and Johnson then locked arms as he gave the trademark declaration: “Well in that case, there’s only one thing left to say: live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!” That moment capped off a midterms-heavy opening that started off with Jeffries (Kenan Thompson) and Schumer (Sarah Sherman) asking if it was time for them to “pass the torch” to the next generation of Democrats. That question led to a big cheer from the crowd, but the lawmakers then burst out laughing. “No! Never!” Jeffries said. They then started to make a toast to the Dems, only for Trump to run in and say they only won the House and the Senate because of him. “I didn’t even say it was rigged, I accepted the results — which is almost scarier, in a way,” Trump joked. “It’s like, ‘What the hell is he planning?'” He then threw on a hardhat and said, “Ballroom! That’s it, that’s all I care about.” The scene went on, hitting topics like Trump calling the Dems the “Dumocrats” and other things that have been beaten into the ground. Colin Jost later came out as Hegseth and announced he would never ditch Trump, unlike some of… [TheTopNews] Read More.8 hours ago - Emmy-Winning Reporter Reacts to Her Husband Getting Kicked Out of Lakers-Kings G...
(Photos via: KCRA 3 in Sacramento and Spectrum SportsNet) Emmy-winning former TV anchor Kellie DeMarco responded to her husband getting kicked out of his courtside seat at the Los Angeles Lakers-Sacramento Kings game on Saturday, three days after he was bizarrely booted for passing the ball back to the ref. If you’re thinking he must’ve done something more than that to warrant getting removed, you’d be wrong. DeMarco’s husband — whom she has only identified by the name “Duncan” in previous posts — went viral on Wednesday when the ball went out of bounds and ended up in his hands; he immediately gave a chest pass to referee Chelisa Painter, who was standing about five feet away. But she apparently felt he put too much zip on it, and so did Lakers star Luka Doncic, who looked over in disgust at the man. Duncan put up his hands as if to say “I didn’t mean any harm,” but his protest fell on deaf ears, because security came and yanked him from his seat. You can check it out below: “What the f*ck are you doing?” Fan gets ejected for passing the ball at the referee pic.twitter.com/ATh5iq1vCf — Jomboy Media (@JomboyMedia) November 5, 2026 On Saturday, DeMarco jumped on Instagram and said it was all a big misunderstanding. She posted: Yes, this is my sweet husband, and yes, he’s the guy who got ejected from an NBA game. I spent nearly 20 years in TV news, and he’s getting more airtime than me! He played basketball for years, and apparently the chest pass muscle memory never left. He meant no harm, he feels terrible that it came across the wrong way, and he has nothing but respect for the officials. Thank you for all the kind messages. We love the Kings and this community. And no, he is not Steve Kerr, I’ve read the comments. DeMarco added the caption to a selfie of her and her husband at the game, before he was told to hit the showers. “When date night goes viral,” she added to the pic.

(Photo Credit: @Vic_Chu_ on Instagram) They’re not fraudsters — they just look like one. The new cool thing to do in big cities is attend an Elizabeth Holmes look-alike contest, apparently, with competitions popping up from coast-to-coast after the disgraced Theranos founder was the focus of Nathan Fielder’s smash flick, You Can See Everything. New York City hosted its second contest on Saturday, with participants once again donning black garb and making weird faces as they vied for the wannabe convict crown. Some of the contestants held up tiny vials as part of their impression, while one woman sported handcuffs — which was an obvious nod to Holmes serving 10 years in a federal prison in Texas. It was easy to find pictures and videos of the event on social media, and the crowd looked to be pretty big, based on the clip below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by New Yorkers (@newyorkers) The event was hosted in Washington Square Park, two weeks after the first NYC contest was hosted there. It’s unclear who won the latest contest; comic Nicole Travolta won the first competition for looking like Holmes, while a fella named Joe Sivick won the best Fielder impression. But Holmes Mania has swept to the West Coast as well, with dozens entering a look-alike contest in San Francisco on Saturday. The San Francisco Chronicle reported a few hundred people watched it in Lafayette Park, with the winner being Sierra Stingle, a plastic surgery resident at Stanford University. Contestants were judged based on a business pitch, a starring contest, and a dance off. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The San Francisco Standard (@sfstandard) Miami looks like the first major city to host one of the look-alike contests back on October 21, although it didn’t look to be as big an attraction as it was in SF and NYC. And if you’re itching to compete… [TheTopNews] Read More.10 hours ago - Sponsors Ditch Progressive Podcasters Who Cackled at ‘Insensitive’ Charlie K...
(Photo Credit: I’ve Had It podcast on YouTube) A grip of companies have ditched their sponsorship deals with the I’ve Had It podcast after its progressive hosts, Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan, went viral for cackling at a joke about “digging up” the corpse of Charlie Kirk. Cash App said it “does not condone violence of any kind, and we are not longer sponsors of this podcast” in a Friday X post, one day after Welch and Sullivan cracked up at a meme saying, “We’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.” The liberal duo apparently felt it was both hilarious and fitting to desecrate the slain conservative influencer, following the blue wave that crashed down on the Republican Party in the midterms. But other companies agreed with Cash App that it was no laughing matter. Online pet food company Chewy posted on Saturday it did not support or sponsor I’ve Had It and added, “We unequivocally condemn violence in all forms. The comments made by the hosts do not reflect Chewy’s values or what we stand for as a company.” Zenni Optical similarly posted it “does not condone violence of any type” and had “canceled advertising on I’ve Had It.” Suitcase maker NOBL Travel also responded to an X user asking if the company would continue sponsoring the podcast by saying it had ended its deal with the show. “We do not condone violence or the promotion of violence in any form,” the company added. And bedding company Boll & Branch responded to an angry user who said they were boycotting its products by saying the company does not sponsor the podcast currently and will not sponsor it in the future. Welch and Sullivan reacted to the backlash on Saturday with a social media post that said: On Thursday’s show, we laughed at a joke about Charlie Kirk. It was an insensitive joke, and we should not have laughed. We regret it, and we apologize. Whatever our political differences, there is nothing funny about gun violence. We’ve long supported common-sense gun safety reform. To that end, we’ve made a donation to Everytown for Gun Safety, the largest gun violence prevention organization in America. We’ll keep using our platforms to fight for the safety of all Americans. The hosts have one of the biggest progressive podcasts around, with about 1.8 million subscribers on YouTube and 1.3 million… [TheTopNews] Read More.11 hours ago - Brian Kilmeade Dishes Rich Republican Donors Love Marco Rubio — and Are ‘Ner... The big bucks are on Secretary of State Marco Rubio to succeed President Donald Trump as the GOP’s next presidential nominee, according to Fox News anchor Brian Kilmeade. The veteran host said the “indication” he is getting is that the “money people” are shifting away from Vice President JD Vance following the Republican Party’s drubbing in the midterm elections. Instead, those deep-pocketed donors are digging Rubio for a variety of reasons — from his strong resume to his Latino heritage to his political approach, which they view as a “mix” of Trump and George W. Bush — Kilmeade revealed during a Thursday interview on The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show. He also said donors are “nervous” about Vance because he has cozied up to the “anti-Israel Right.” Kilmeade shared the following after co-host Clay Travis asked who Elon Musk and other Republican donors were backing in 2028: I don’t know [about] Elon, but I will say that Rubio impresses everybody. He’s a mix of, “I get Trump, and I get what the Bush years were like. I get what I did wrong, trying to redo immigration without sealing the border”… [and Rubio also offers] what it’s like to be a successful senator, I know what it’s like to be a successful secretary of state, and people just seem to like him. They like him on the world stage, they like him on the domestic stage, they like the Hispanic background. He then said their feelings about Vance aren’t as warm: So far, JD Vance is leaning way to the right, like the extreme-right, the anti-Israel right, and I think it’s getting a lot of people nervous. Because there’s a lot of people in this country who, like me, don’t look at Israel as an enemy, they look at them as the ultimate ally, and aren’t afraid to say it. And I think that there’s some concern, and it was not alleviated by his ridiculous, insubordinate posting on X… where he decides he doesn’t like the war. That’s not a secret. But guys, he doesn’t like the war, and he doesn’t even qualify it with “I understand why the president did it, I understand they’ve been our 40 year enemy, I understand how risky this was politically, but I understand—” — no qualification! “We all know we lost because of the war.” Kilmeade was referring to Vance distancing himself from… [TheTopNews] Read More.12 hours ago
