News about Laraine Newman

As the 50th season of Saturday Night Live premieres this weekend, the story of how its very first episode took shape has become a legendary piece of show-business history.

Laraine Newman deleted an angry post targeting The Bear after her daughter Hannah Einbinder lost out on Sunday at the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards. 'F**. THE. BEAR,' Laraine, 72, posted along with numerous exclamation points on X, formerly known as Twitter. Laraine, an original cast member of Saturday Night Live, posted in reaction to Liza Colon-Zayas of The Bear winning for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

Hannah Einbinder put on a show-stopping display in a sheer brown dress while attending the 2024 Warner Bros. Discovery Upfront Presentation in New York. The 28-year-old actress, who has been for two Primetime Emmy Awards and Golden Globe Awards for her role as Ava Daniels on HBO's hit series Hacks , was dressed to impress as she appeared on stage with her costar, Paul W. Downs on Wednesday. For the occasion, she kept her accessories to a minimum, apart from a single bangle, coordinating ring and hoop earrings. The comedian, whose mother is original Saturday Night Live cast member Laraine Newman, completed her chic ensemble with a pair of black open-toed high heels, which displayed her cherry red nail polish.

People were made to laugh on Saturday Night Live, but a new film would focus on the drama that inspired the late night staple in the 1970s. Jason Reitman, 46, who has already cast Ella Hunt to play the late Gilda Radner, Rebecca Fairn as Laraine Newman, and Kim Matula as Jane Curtin, has now decided which actors will play the male characters in The Not-Ready-for-Primetime Players. Gabriel LaBelle, 21, best known for his role as Sammy, a budding filmmaker in Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmen, will play creator and producer Lorne Michaels.

In the forthcoming film SNL 1975, Dickinson actress Ella Hunt will play comedy legend Gilda Radner. Hunt, 25, will appear alongside Emily Fairn and Kim Matula, 35, as the long-running sketch comedy show's former cast members, Radner, Laraine Newman, and Jane Curtin, respectively, according to Deadline.

Richard Belzer, a special Victims Unit member, died at the age of 78. The actor began as a comedian but became well-known as Detective John Munch, first on Homicide Life on the Streets and then on SVU. He also appeared on the original Law and Order, as well as the Judicacie by Jury. Belzer has appeared on 11 different shows in total over the course of 22 years. Richard Belzer's death was first revealed by Saturday Night Live alumna Newman, who tweeted: 'I'm so sad to learn of his's passing.' I loved this guy so much. 'When I first arrived in New York to do SNL, he was one of my first friends,' she said. We used to go out for lobster at Sheepshead Bay every week.'
