Kunis and McKinnon’s fabulous friendship
From the get-go, "The Spy Who Dumped Me," a Kate McKinnon-Mila Kunis buddy spy comedy, has two things going for it.
First, female spies are clearly in vogue, if you've been reading the news — or if you prefer your spies to be fictional, may we recommend Keri Russell's recently departed Elizabeth Jennings on "The Americans"?
Kunis and McKinnon share laughs and thrills
Anna Kendrick: ‘I’m so talented’

NEW YORK (AP) — NBC's comedy institution "Saturday Night Live" reached its largest audience since 2011 with last weekend's episode hosted by President Trump impersonator Alec Baldwin and featuring the return of Melissa McCarthy portraying White House press secretary Sean Spicer.
Movie-wise, the office Christmas party is the great dismantler of white-collar worker-bee life. Set out the booze, turn down the lights, and suddenly the cubicle walls around staid office life are blown away by heartbreak ("The Apartment") or Hans Gruber ("Die Hard"). '
NEW YORK (AP) — The chief critic-elect of "Saturday Night Live," Donald Trump, is bashing the show and impersonator Alec Baldwin again — this time prodded into action Wednesday by NBC's own Matt Lauer.
NEW YORK (AP) — A happy Hallelujah, Leonard Cohen.
The Canadian chanteur's most famous song bubbled into the collective conscious after he died Nov. 7 at 82. Soon after the sad news, Kate McKinnon as her Hillary Clinton character sat in her white suit at a piano for a serious turn at the song on "Saturday Night Live."
Of course, Cohen did it best, having spent five years on multiple drafts before its debut in 1984, but which artist among more than 300 covers deserves props?
LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Saturday Night Live" called on host Dave Chappelle's wit and Kate McKinnon's performance of "Hallelujah" for a thoughtful coda to a divisive presidential campaign.
Chappelle, claiming to be rusty after a decade largely out of the TV spotlight, proved ready and eager to offer his take on Donald Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton, including the protests that followed.

NEW YORK (AP) — No debating: Alec Baldwin stole the show Saturday in his new role as Donald Trump when "Saturday Night Live" spoofed the recent presidential debate.
Facing off against Kate McKinnon as she impersonated Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton, Baldwin delivered an orange-faced, blustery impression of her GOP rival.
He railed about U.S. jobs fleeing to "Chi-naah."
He sputtered that "my microphone is broken," and pointed to his opponent, insisting, "She broke it with Obama."
NEW YORK (AP) — "Saturday Night Live" has made a YUGE decision: It has chosen Alec Baldwin to impersonate GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Not to be outdone by Ellen DeGeneres, who ordered pizza for the Academy Awards audience when she hosted in 2014, Jimmy Kimmel provided food for Emmy Awards crowd Sunday.
During the second hour of Sunday's ceremony, Kimmel announced that his mother had made 7,000 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for Emmy guests. The young stars from the Netflix hit "Stranger Things" rode bikes through the Microsoft Theater, handing out lunch bags.
NEW YORK (AP) — Since it often seems like the most entertaining limited series on television, there was little surprise that the presidential campaign made its presence felt at the Emmy Awards.

A tweet from Sony Pictures' "Ghostbusters" account that many interpreted as an endorsement of Hillary Clinton has disappeared as quickly as a phantom.
The studio tweeted "Boo-yah, we smashed your glass ceiling," on Thursday after Clinton became the first woman to lead a major U.S. political party. The message also had the hashtag "ImWithHer," a Clinton campaign motto.
By Friday, it had been deleted. A spokeswoman for Sony told the Los Angeles Times that the tweet...
NEW YORK (AP) — After months of prerelease debate, Sony Picture's female-led "Ghostbusters" reboot arrived in theaters as neither a massive success nor the bomb some predicted, as the much-scrutinized film opened with an estimated $46 million in North American theaters, second to the holdover hit "The Secret Life of Pets."
"The Secret Life of Pets" stayed on top with $50.6 million in its second week, according to studio estimates Sunday.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — It takes all of 30 seconds for Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon to start cracking each other up — and anyone else lucky enough to be in the room with all that infectious energy.
The three "Ghostbusters" stars, minus Kristen Wiig who was sick, share some of their favorite stories about Bill Murray, their friendship and that incident with scotch and ham, in interviews with The Associated Press.
The easy, electric chemistry of the four leads in Paul Feig's "Ghostbusters" acts like a firewall against the supernatural and the adolescent, alike, in this spirited reboot of the 1984 original.
Ghouls and anonymous Internet commentators — who have flocked to their thumbs-down buttons ahead of the film's release — share plenty of characteristics. Each is likely to drool and quickly disappear when you turn on...
