Following an excellent hosting job from first-timer Nate Bargatze, which included an all-time-great George Washington sketch, “Saturday Night Live” earned its November 4 off. This week, “SNL” is back with host Timothée Chalamet and musical guest boygenius; it will be the first of two back-to-back originals.
On November 18, Jason Momoa will host “SNL” for the second time, just like Chalamet. (That is exactly where the two actors’ similarities end.) Momoa’s musical guest Tate McRae, like Chalamet’s, is making her debut.
Yes, “SNL” is back to booking big-name actors with big-time projects to (hopefully) promote. The stand-ups and the musicians had their fun. But with a deal between the actors guild (SAG-AFTRA) and the studios seemingly imminent, “SNL” and its table of movie stars appear ready to roll the dice.
As of this writing, SAG-AFTRA is reviewing the AMPTP’s “last, best, and final” offer. The actors strike is in its 116th day.

Two Emmy-nominated directors talk about their approaches and the risks they took. For Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie, Davis Guggenheim explains how broke the conventional documentary rules he typically follows for the Apple TV+ movie — a risk that paid off with seven Emmy noms. And Emmy nominee Peter Hoar looks back on “Long, Long Time,” the episode of HBO’s drama series The Last of Us that took a major narrative risk to depict a romantic connection rarely seen on television.
‘Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie’ Director Talks His Approach to the Celebrity Biodoc: “I’m Always Looking for a Very Intimate Connection”
Oscar winner Davis Guggenheim is no stranger to bold-faced names, having worked with the likes of Al Gore, Barack Obama and Malala Yousafzai. But some three years ago, he found himself, as he says, “stuck.”
“I wanted to do something different. I wanted to find joy in my work.

Even if Michael J. Fox wasn’t American television royalty, including being a five-time Emmy Award winner, Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie would probably prove to be quite popular with the television academy. However, as a three-peat winner for Family Ties (“I feel four feet tall!” he said from the stage), a winner once more for Spin City, and a regular nominee in the guest acting category for just about anything he would take time to appear in, I feel pretty confident that Davis Guggenheim’s moving biographic documentary will do well at this year’s Emmys.
And rightfully so...

This story about “Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie” first appeared in the Race Begins issue of TheWrap’s Emmy magazine.
Davis Guggenheim, the Oscar-winning director of “An Inconvenient Truth” and “Waiting for Superman,” has made an intimate chronicle of Michael J. Fox’s meteoric rise to TV and film stardom in the 1980s, followed by his shocking diagnosis with Parkinson’s disease. In keeping with Fox’s usual approach, “Still” is light instead of ponderous, even as it delves into the inexorable progression of a disease about which Fox’s doctor told him, “You lose this one.”
How did you get involved with this movie?
It was during Covid. I was in a rut, I hadn’t had a movie that excited me in a while. And I read this interview with Michael in the New York Times. Of course he was funny, but his storytelling was so strong that I said,...
