Want to know if your favorite television series is among the latest cancelled TV shows? Bookmark this page to learn about Netflix cancelled shows, when network series get the axe, and which cable TV limited series are being reworked as “anthologies” to squeeze every single drop of fan love (and awards) out of them.

How it works: Renewals are obvious: new season = yay! Cancelations are more complicated. When a network or streaming service announces that they’re not making another season of a show, we count that as cancelled (or “canceled” if you spell it without SEO considerations). Sure, some shows “come to a natural end,” but someone somewhere said “enough.” So to avoid debating the semantics of “cancelled” versus “retired,” we’re just going to go with the former. There are also some instances, either due to scheduling conflicts, or various delays, where the answer is “I dunno.” In those instances, we will leave the series as renewed and list the most recent season until we’re told otherwise.

Feel free to debate specific titles in the comments. But first: learn which series will live on, which were renewed and then cancelled, which are switching channels, and which have simply reached their expiration date.

The second season of The Sandman is set to premiere this year, but Netflix has confirmed that this will be the final season, concluding Dream’s (Tom Sturridge) storyline. The first season of the show spent 7 weeks in Netflix’s top 10, acquiring viewership from across the world. The show followed the first 16 issues of the comic series, The Sandman.

HBO Renews The White Lotus Ahead of Season 3 Premiere

We’re still a few weeks away from the season 3 premiere of The White Lotus, but the HBO anthology series has already secured a renewal for a fourth season. The multiple Emmy winner created by Mike White centers on the drama that erupts among the employees and guests at a fictional chain of upscale vacation resorts, focusing on a different location each season. Season 3, set to premiere on February 16, 2025, takes place in Thailand and stars Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Leslie Bibb, Michelle Monaghan, Parker Posey, and Jason Isaacs, among others.

ABC Hit Abbott Elementary is Coming Back for Season 5

Quinta Brunson’s award-winning ABC sitcom Abbott Elementary is officially set to return for a fifth season. The show, which follows the staff of an underfunded public school in Philadelphia, is currently in the middle of its fourth season, which recently included an unlikely but not unwelcome crossover with FXX’s own Philly-based sitcom, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Despite a handful of television shows and films in the interim, Captain America: Brave New World stands as the first Marvel Cinematic Universe project to really dive into the state of play for its mainline Earth since 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. It is understandable, though, as series like Echo and Agatha All Along were more concerned with the immediate fates of their characters than the state of MCU Earth. Deadpool & Wolverine, meanwhile, took place elsewhere in the Multiverse with its only scene on the “prime” Earth (labelled as Earth-616 per Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) being a flashback. The films released prior to it, like The Marvels, centered on more cosmic (or microscopic) concerns.

So what is the state of play on Earth-616? Does the election of a new president change the dynamic of the world stage? What about the Celestial corpse in the Indian ocean left over from the end of Eternals? And are tensions with Wakanda still at an all-time high?

Let’s take a look at what Brave New World offers in terms of the state of play and what it might mean as Phase 5 of the MCU nears its conclusion.

---

Timeline Troubles

Since Avengers: Endgame’s five-year time jump from 2018 to 2023, the MCU has been set several years ahead of our own. For instance, WandaVision, which occurs just weeks after Endgame, was still three years or so ahead of our timeline. Of course, various global events in our reality altered whatever plan the studio had for that time jump, but Brave New World’s stated timeframe — five months after Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross’s (Harrison Ford) election to the presidency — brings the temporal state of play to just mere months ahead of ours. Now, the MCU is in June of 2025.

Or at least, it seems that way.

Alternate accounting of the timeline via various reports and wikis suggests the film may be taking place as late as June 2027. But as that would mean the MCU presidential elections occur at the time of our world’s US midterm election cycle, we’re inclined to believe Marvel would rather go back to their stories taking place in a roughly contemporaneous timeframe to our own without saying it too loudly. But, then again, that’s how we got to the timeline problem in the first place! And as readers of Marvel Comics know, the dating of certain events is always being updated.

It remains to be seen how the timeline will impact some of the projects nearly-ready for release like Thunderbolts* and Daredevil: Born Again. Ironheart, in particular, may end up winding the clock backward as it was written and shot several years ago, before some of the behind-the-scenes creative upheavals changed Marvel Studio’s approach to television and, seemingly, kept events in the MCU several years in the future. And speaking of Marvel TV…

Secret Invasion’s Secret Erasure

Those who watched Secret Invasion may recall the president in that series, James Ritson (Dermot Mulroney), ended the story by declaring all extraterrestrials unwelcome on US shores and getting an Anti-Alien Act through Congress. This seemingly has an echo via Ross’s campaign slogan, “Together”, in Brave New World, but the refusal to even name his opponent in the election suggests to us that Marvel is considering moving Secret Invasion to another reality within the Multiverse. We imagine a lot of people would be okay with that. Also, the signs are already there — consider how The Marvels presented a more energetic Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) than the one in Secret Invasion. Also note the complete absence of his wife in that film.

Within Brave New World, there is also an inference that the studio would rather move on from the implications of Secret Invasion by avoiding the anti-alien rhetoric and government policy set up at the series’ conclusion. Ross never mentions those issues even as a campaign plank. At the same time, though, no mention is made of New Asgard, which we imagine would have an interest in the stillborn Celestial as potent as the US, Japan, France, and India. So, it remains to be seen if any of the older geopolitical ideas set up in Phase 4 will carry on from this point forward. Or, if like Secret Invasion, they are being cast aside to another universe or irrelevancy.

---

The Blip in the Rearview

One of those older concepts, the fallout from the Blip, is also seemingly settled via Ross’s one mention of it in his election night acceptance speech. Otherwise, it appears the remaining tensions from the Blip have been settled by 2025 in the MCU. This has a curious parallel with our own world as we continue to put the COVID-19 pandemic in the rearview. Then again, the synchronicity between the Blip and the pandemic was always accidental.

Of course, just as in our reality, that attempt to move forward leaves behind a number of lingering questions. For one: Is the Global Repatriation Council still active and trying to return displaced people to their countries of origin? The timetable for that plan was altered during the closing moments of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and beyond a handful of GRC posters popping up in Moon Knight and Eternals, the organization’s movements have had no impact on subsequent stories. Perhaps the appearance of the dead Celestial finally put an end to the GRC as world leaders had a new focus: claiming that new land for themselves. But as Brave New World reveals, even that is shifting to a new element.

---

Adamantium Tension

In the mainline Marvel Comics reality, adamantium is a man-made alloy composed of Wakandan vibranium, steel, and other substances. But as Brave New World establishes for the MCU, it is an element mined from the Celestial’s corpse. Early in the film, Ross establishes that the goal of his first 100 days in office is getting a treaty signed among various countries to establish fair sharing of the Celestial and its adamantium resources. And while the literal canister of the material featured in the film is more of a MacGuffin to the designs of Ross and Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson), its discovery on Earth-616 is, indeed, a brave new world.

For one, this means there is no Wolverine in the mainline MCU yet. While She-Hulk: Attorney at Law made a sight-gag about a man with claws growing out of his hands, the amnesiac mutant with an adamantium skeleton has not yet undergone the procedure to make him either of those things. While most close-watchers of the MCU and Marvel Studios fully expect the Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) from Deadpool & Wolverine to make an appearance in the next few Avengers films, Earth-616 only has a century-plus-old Canadian named Jamie Howlett with mutant healing factor and bone claws running around its history. That has implications of its own. Has the Weapon X program been established yet? Has Jamie been working for General William Stryker since the 1980s? Will we have to watch events covered in X-Men Origins: Wolverine get rehashed in an MCU context?

Back in the realm of MCU geopolitics, the discovery of adamantium also has implications for continuing relations between most of the world’s governments and the two sources of vibranium: Wakanda and Talokan. While the latter ended Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as an isolationist undersea kingdom uninterested in sharing its resources with anyone, Wakanda is on the world stage and its stores of the metal make it a superpower. But adamantium — and Ross’s treaty — threaten to change the country’s standing. Perhaps the rumored Black Panther 3 will pick up this thread. It is possible an adamantium-backed nation could launch an assault on Wakanda for no other reason than petty revenge.

Granted, Wakanda has been invaded in all of its on-screen appearances, so a conflict between the vibranium-producing nations and organizations using adamantium — perhaps even Sidewinder’s (Giancarlo Esposito) Serpent Society — may occur elsewhere in the world.

---

No Avengers

While the Phase 4 films and television series danced around this possibility, Brave New World makes it abundantly clear that there is no active Avengers team as of Ross’s presidency. We presume this has been the case since the conclusion of Endgame’s Battle of Earth destroyed the headquarters and the death of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) — and Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson), for that matter — scattered the survivors across the galaxy. Indeed, one can even cite Eternals, set only a handful of months after Endgame, as evidence that no superhero group stands ready to face the unique threats Earth-616 encounters.

This will definitely be the next topic Marvel confronts as Thunderbolts* attempts to present a team to take the Avengers’ place — the culmination of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine’s (Julia Louis-Dreyfuss) scheming since The Falcon and the Winter Solider and the Black Widow post-credit scene. Meanwhile, we know Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) is trying to establish a de facto Young Avengers with Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) and Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton).

Considering Captain America Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) ultimately thought Ross was right about restarting the Avengers, it makes you wonder who he will pick for his eventual team besides Joaquin Torres (Danny Ramirez). Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) feels like a shoo-in — provided she survives Thunderbolts*, of course. Trying to see him wrangle Kamala, Kate, and Cassie also has an appeal. Additionally, Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) is out in San Francisco or hanging out with Wong (Benedict Wong) and stands ready to get called up to the majors, as it were. There are also three green Hulks on Earth who could lend their strength. Also, there are several Asgardians, a Moon Knight, and both an ex-Sorcerer Supreme and his successor who may offer assistance even if they never wear a stylized “A” on their chests.

And all of that is before we consider any characters out in space Sam could potentially ask to join. But if one thing is clear, Brave New World establishes that Captain America will once again lead the Avengers into battle whether he heeds Sterns’ warning about the Multiverse or not.

But will he ask his best pal to help too?

---

Congressman Barnes

Perhaps the most surprising change to the MCU’s state of play is the current situation for one James Buchanan Barnes (Sebastian Stan). As his one scene in Brave New World reveals, he is on the road to becoming a member of the United States congress. That’s a huge change from his nearly-constant fugitive status during the Infinity Saga.

That said, it is easy to see how kingmakers in Washington DC could spin his story into something really appealing. Consider, for a moment, that Bucky is a World War II veteran who was, essentially, a prisoner of war for nearly a century. And though his return to the public eye was as a terrorist, he ultimately stood side-by-side with the Avengers at the Battle of Earth. And since nuance and rehabilitation are recurring themes in Brave New World, the public’s acceptance of a potential Congressman Barnes reflects both a good narrative to get him elected and a populace willing to embrace him as the hero he was always meant to be.

That said, Thunderbolts* could upend his political aspirations as he returns to Winter Soldier mode for at least a portion of the movie — some have noted he is wearing a proper congressional pin in the most recent trailer. No matter what transpires in that film, though, it is a remarkable evolution for one character in the MCU and indicative of just how much can change offscreen within its fictional reality.

---

The Next President

While Brave New World is a more far-reaching film than it might seem initially, there is one curious omission: the identity of Ross’s vice president. And now that he’s resigned from office after his Red Hulk rampage, that unnamed person currently sits behind the Resolute Desk. Who is it?

In the immediate wake of Brave New World, not revealing the identity of the new president suggests that person will not matter through 2027’s Avengers: Secret Wars. Indeed, Ross’s predecessor only matters in the context of Secret Invasion. Before him, the only featured president was Iron Man 3’s Matthew Ellis (William Sadler) all the way back in 2013!

Yes, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. named Ellis’s successor, but that show’s connection to the MCU is tenuous.

Another option: the identity of the new president will be some sort of gag, like Everett K. Ross (Martin Freeman), who was last seen either being rescued by Wakandan agents or recovering from his Skrull abduction. Val is even a contender, even if we know she will speak before congress at some point during Thunderbolts*.

There is one other, very remote possibility, though. Depending on when Daredevil: Born Again is set, Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) could end up in the center seat of power. But considering the near future of the MCU will revolve around the end of the Multiverse Saga and the arrival of Doctor Doom (also Downey), this seems the least likely answer. Nevertheless, the varying importance of the US president within the MCU underlies the sometimes uneasy relationship between its characters and geopolitics. And with the state of play altered in the wake of Brave New World, that next president could be an important ally or a serious foe.

Your dad’s favorite TV show is back, and Reacher: Season 3 is worth the wait according to the first reviews of its return. Based on the novel Persuader (the seventh book in Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series), the show’s third season continues to bring the action and the multifaceted appeal of Alan Ritchson in the title role. Whether it’s better than previous seasons, let alone its best yet, however, is up for debate, as Reacher’s premise might be starting to feel tired.

Here’s what critics are saying about Reacher Season 3:

---

Is Reacher still a must-watch show?

Courtesy of Alan Ritchson’s stoic lead performance as the noble behemoth, it remains satisfyingly mean, macho, and — literally and figuratively — muscular.
— Nick Schager, The Daily Beast

Alan Ritchson and the team behind this series have managed to once again deliver an entire season of laughs, surprises, and thrills.
— Aaron Peterson, The Hollywood Outsider

When it comes to television that exists to activate the pleasure sensors of the brain, you simply cannot find a better option than Reacher.
— Jacob Hall, Slashfilm

The third season of Reacher remains relentlessly entertaining.
— M.N. Miller, FandomWire

Even in its third season, Reacher maintains the same tension and adrenaline-fuelled action that defined the first two.
— Abhishek Srivastava, The Times of India

Reacher Season 3 is another thoroughly entertaining chapter in the saga of its titular vigilante vagrant.
— Luke Reilly, IGN Movies

Even though this new season of Reacher feels more like a traditional action-crime show, it’s still one of the better ones of its ilk.
— Nate Richard, Collider

It’s well-done entertainment through and through.
— Dominic Baez, Seattle Times

---

How does it compare to previous seasons?

If you are a fan of Reacher, settle in, because this round is even more brutal and fist-pumping than either of the two before it. In fact, Season 3 is the best season of Reacher yet!
— Aaron Peterson, The Hollywood Outsider

Reacher Season 3 is the best one yet. After a disappointing sophomore effort, the Prime Video series gets its groove back.
— Rafael Motamayor, The Wrap

The new season isn’t just a bounce back: It’s a high watermark for the series so far.
— Jacob Hall, Slashfilm

Season 3 may be Reacher‘s best one yet because the challenges he faces aren’t ones he can punch his way out of.
— Joshua M. Patton, CBR

If Season 3 is anything, it’s Reacher at his most ruthless.
— Luke Reilly, IGN Movies

This is a much darker version of Reacher than we have seen in the first two seasons… The series is not as engaging as last year’s best guilty pleasure or the first season’s superior adaptation.
— M.N. Miller, FandomWire

Reacher Season 3 scales back in scope, taking a more back-to-basics approach… [It] doesn’t have the same big heart that made the first two so special.
— Nate Richard, Collider

---

Is Alan Ritchson still the best reason to watch?

Reacher has known from frame one that star Ritchson is the kind of screen presence you build an entire show around, and Season 3 doubles down.
— Jacob Hall, Slashfilm

Ritchson remains… relentlessly entertaining. He continues to possess pitch-perfect comic delivery with an edge that creator Nick Santora knows is essential to the series’ success.
— M.N. Miller, FandomWire

In what is surely the signature role of his career, Ritchson remains everything you could want for the embodiment of Child’s hero, bringing just the right amount of mordant humour — along with the requisite muscles.
— Amon Warmann, Empire Magazine

Ritchson’s droll hulk is charismatic enough to offset the material’s paint-by-numbers plotting.
— Nick Schager, The Daily Beast

---

Do any other cast members stand out in Season 3?

The real secret weapon of the season is Sonya Cassidy as Duffy, a DEA agent… [whose] no-nonsense attitude and room-filling Boston accent provide the perfect counterbalance to Ritchson’s laconic energy.
— Jacob Hall, Slashfilm

[Cassidy] is fantastic. The British actress absolutely disappears behind a thick, Boston accent as the no-nonsense DEA agent and she shines with some of the season’s toughest (and often funniest) lines. On top of that, Cassidy’s onscreen brawling is excellent.
— Luke Reilly, IGN Movies

Cassidy is good as Reacher’s woman partner this season and has a welcomingly distinct vibe from Willa Fitzgerald in Season 1 and Serinda Swan in Season 2.
— Tim Stevens, The Spool

Olivier Richters, known as the Dutch Giant, is a refreshing change, towering over the beloved titular character, adding some much-needed suspense.
— M.N. Miller, FandomWire

The real scene-stealer this season is Johnny Berchtold as Richard Beck, Zachary’s son. His subdued performance perfectly captures the constant fear of living under the shadow of his father’s dangerous world, adding an emotional depth that stands out amidst the action.
— Abhishek Srivastava, The Times of India

There’s the always welcome return of Reacher’s brilliant friend/sidekick Frances Neagley, played by the fantastic Maria Sten. In a show full of competent individuals, Neagley stands out time and again.
— Dominic Baez, Seattle Times

The supporting cast doesn’t feel nearly as memorable as previous ensemble characters.
— Nate Richard, Collider

---

How are the villains this time?

Season 3 introduces the best villain of the show to date, the Bane to Reacher’s Batman, Paulie Masserella (Olivier Richters, The Dutch Giant). This guy is not just a bigger Reacher, he towers over him and makes him look feeble by comparison, while also being a big old sadist who relishes in cruelty and violence.
— Rafael Motamayor, The Wrap

Paulie is bigger, badder, and more unpredictable than Reacher. He also is one foe that Reacher has no idea how to take down, a mystery struggling to be solved. The relationship between these two is a highpoint for this season, and Richters is a dominant menace to Ritchson’s Jack Reacher. This matchup was absolutely worth the wait.
— Aaron Peterson, The Hollywood Outsider

Quinn is the series’ grossest villain to date. While ostensibly motivated by greed, he has a clear love of sadism. That delight in cruelty separates him from the likes of Robert Patrick’s Season 2 mercenary or any member of Season 1’s Kliner crime family. He feels almost Bondian with a larger-than-life swagger.
— Tim Stevens, The Spool

Fans of John Hughes’s ‘80s teen movies will enjoy Anthony Michael Hall’s villainous turn.
— Michael Hogan, Daily Telegraph

Anthony Michael Hall, as businessman Zachary Beck, could have been more menacing, but Brian Tee as Quinn and Olivier Richters as Paulie make up for it with their intimidating screen presence and convincingly ruthless portrayals.
— Abhishek Srivastava, The Times of India

I’m more lukewarm on the key villains this time around, particularly Anthony Michael Hall’s Beck… I really don’t care about him, and I doubt you will either after one particularly unconscionable act.
— Luke Reilly, IGN Movies

---

What about the storyline?

This season delivers a gripping mix of suspense, mystery, and action, keeping the plot engaging throughout.
— Abhishek Srivastava, The Times of India

The third season of the popular series hits all the narrative beats you’d expect in a Reacher season.
— Dominic Baez, Seattle Times

With a distinct plot compared to the first two seasons… the series is again improving on what came before it for a solid addition to the franchise.
— Alex Maidy, JoBlo’s Movie Network

Reacher Season 3’s story is fastidiously overcomplicated.
— Tim Stevens, The Spool

---

Is it a faithful adaptation of the source novel?

Fans of the books and of this show are in for a great season that may be the best Reacher adaptation yet.
— Alex Maidy, JoBlo’s Movie Network

Fans of the novel Reacher Season 3 adapts will know the structure, but the show takes plenty of liberty with the details. Thus, there will still be surprises along the way, even for the real Reacher-heads out there.
— Tim Stevens, The Spool

Devotees of Persuader might have some qualms about how a few minor changes early on begin to stack up in the back half of the season.
— Warren Cantrell, The Playlist

Reacher season 3 diverges a lot more from the novel upon which it’s based than the previous seasons, and not all the changes feel like an improvement – particularly when the consequences of these added events are handwaved off.
— Luke Reilly, IGN Movies

---

How is the action this season?

Reacher flexes its action muscles stronger than ever.
— Nate Richard, Collider

This might be the bloodiest season of Reacher, starting out small and quiet before going out in a blaze of glory.
— Rafael Motamayor, The Wrap

The action this season is strong overall, and it features a steady supply of sudden but satisfying kills – many of which are the best in the series so far.
— Luke Reilly, IGN Movies

We came for Ritchson’s brand of bone-crunching, knuckle-busting, lip-splitting action — a show that intends to drag you across concrete with the taste of asphalt in your mouth and bits of glass in your forehead. By that standard, the third season exceeds expectations and then some.
— M.N. Miller, FandomWire

Reacher has no problem with graphic violence, and the Prime series has never been afraid to lean into his bloody style of vengeance. Season 3 is no different: Bones break, blood flows, bullets fly and bodies drop — mostly the villains’, but sometimes the good guys’, too.
— Dominic Baez, Seattle Times

As an action show, Reacher taps back into the more contained, visceral, personal violence that made season 1 feel so brutally alive…the show wisely builds its action around the simple pleasure of watching someone as beefy as Alan Ritchson rip and tear his way through an entire cast of baddies.
— Jacob Hall, Slashfilm

Santora and company fail to devise a signature ass-kicking sight to match last season’s bit in which Reacher kicks a car’s front bumper so hard that it triggers the vehicle’s air bag, thus knocking out the driver.
— Nick Schager, The Daily Beast

---

Does the show still feel fresh?

In Season 3, Reacher enters a whole new world, and it’s one where he doesn’t fit in… It brings a fresh new dynamic and set of challenges to the capable and unrelenting hero.
— Joshua M. Patton, CBR

This latest season of Reacher proves that familiarity doesn’t have to breed contempt. Twists aside, there’s never really any doubt how all of this will end up — and yet, you can’t stop watching.
— Dominic Baez, Seattle Times

You could argue that following this formula, Reacher has resulted in a rather one-note delivery since his debut on our screens in 2022. But, so what? It’s a note Ritchson has struck with pitch-perfect quality and shows no signs of wavering.
— Nick Staniforth, Total Film

This third volume offers more of the same simple thrills, even if too much of this season coasts on the fundamentals, suffering from some unimaginative direction not doing enough to elevate it.
— Amon Warmann, Empire Magazine

At this stage in the series, its storytelling is too predictable… The show’s refusal to drastically mix things up leads to sporadic stagnation this season.
— Nick Schager, The Daily Beast

It runs the risk of being more of a run-of-the-mill action show.
— Nate Richard, Collider

---

Is this just a show for dads?

Reacher is ideal dadcore television.
— Nick Schager, The Daily Beast

I’ve heard Reacher described as a “dad show”… but that ignores the amount of craft and skill necessary to create pure entertainment, and how much talent is required to allow us to get totally and entirely lost in something built to deliver a pure good time.
— Jacob Hall, Slashfilm

---

Is there anything it can improve for future seasons?

It is hard to imagine a more tightly constructed, tense, exhilarating or funny mission for the titular character to take on in the already commissioned Season 4.
— Rafael Motamayor, The Wrap

The next time around, Reacher would benefit from a mission that takes him further out of his comfort zone.
— Nick Schager, The Daily Beast

It might be beneficial for the next season to spice things up a little more, especially as the cracks are starting to show in the series’ latest batch of episodes.
— Nate Richard, Collider

Since there are at least two dozen other books in the series that haven’t been adapted yet, I’m curious, and excited, to see what comes next for our wandering hero. I’m just hoping he gets a new toothbrush before then.
— Dominic Baez, Seattle Times

With Mickey 17, Bong Joon Ho has finally delivered a follow-up to 2019’s Parasite, and while it’s not likely to be another Best Picture winner, the first reviews of the movie say it’s certainly worth a look. This satirical sci-fi romp stars Robert Pattinson as the title character as well as the other numbered Mickey clones, and his performance (or performances) is reportedly one of the highlights. Reviews are mixed, however, on whether Mickey 17 is sharp in its political comedy, let alone one of Bong’s best works.

Here’s what critics are saying about Mickey 17:

---

Is this another Bong Joon ho masterpiece?

Bong proves yet again that he’s a master of his craft, a singular filmmaker whose run might now be the greatest of the 21st century.
— David Opie, Total Film

It’s immediately clear that Bong Joon-ho’s biting commentary on greed, classism, and social equality in the modern era hasn’t distilled over the years.
— Jack Walters, Next Best Picture

As a writer-director known for his expansive film worlds that become a playground for moral dilemmas and unlikely heroic journeys, Bong doesn’t disappoint.
— Savina Petkova, AwardsWatch

Such a cinematic achievement will be long remembered.
— Andrew J. Salazar, Discussing Film

It rules.
— Alex Billington, FirstShowing.net

Mickey 17 may lack some of the political bite of his previous work, but it’s unquestionably tremendous fun: a big, strange spectacle that’s unlike most blockbuster cinema out there.
— Lou Thomas, Time Out

If it’s a more conventional film than his best work, he still finds ways to subvert our expectations and continually surprise us with a hero who’s just trying his inadequate best.
— Helen O’Hara, Empire Magazine

Mickey 17 is an uneven, enjoyable film that will almost certainly get better with age, distance, and perspective… It’s certainly unique and weird enough to warrant a watch.
— Germain Lussier, io9.com

All in all, it must be considered a serious disappointment from the director.
— Hugh Montgomery, BBC.com

---

How does it compare to his other films?

While Mickey 17 may not be quite as strong as Parasite (a nigh-impossible bar to clear), it’s easily Bong’s best English-language offering to date.
— Brent Hankins, The Lamplight Review

Bong Joon-ho’s best English movie to date.
— David Opie, Total Film

Mickey 17 [is] the best and most cohesive of Bong’s English-language films.
— David Ehrlich, IndieWire

It has the heartwarming animal rights discussions of Okja, the witty allegories of classism found in Snowpiercer, and the gritty realism of poverty explored in Parasite.
— Jack Walters, Next Best Picture

For those whose only familiarity with Bong’s work comes from Parasite, Mickey 17 is different but tonally in check… It’s more of a direct continuation of some of his earlier films, fusing the futuristic utilitarian environments of Snowpiercer with the cuddly animal rights mascot of Okja.
— Clarisse Loughrey, Independent (UK)

For bona fide Bong fans, the film’s hectoring tone and irreverent sense of humor should feel like a return to that strange blend of sentimentality and cynicism we saw in the… gonzo meat-is-murder comedy Okja and full-throttle eat-the-rich thriller Snowpiercer.
— Peter Debruge, Variety

Mickey 17 ends on a more hopeful note than the rest of Bong’s films.
— Alison Wilmore, New York Magazine/Vulture

Mickey 17 feels like one of the weakest entries in Bong Joon-ho’s filmography, but given the kind of storytelling the director has gotten us used to, it’s still a stronger movie than many other sci-fi films with similar premises.
— Serena Seghedoni, Loud and Clear Reviews

It’s the weakest of his three English language efforts.
— Alistair Ryder, Looper.com

---

Is it reminiscent of any other movies or TV shows?

It’s essentially Bong’s take on Alien.
— Clarisse Loughrey, Independent (UK)

The concept for Mickey 17 is intriguing with Mickey dying repeatedly, which reminds me of Tom Cruise’s Edge of Tomorrow.
— John Nguyen, Nerd Reactor

Maybe [Bong Joon Ho is] not quite the humanist his adherents believe, but more of a blunt and adolescent-minded satirist, operating in the vein of Paul Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers.
— Peter Debruge, Variety

It really reminds me of Starship Troopers in many ways in how it creatively depicts the fascist systems that maintain order amongst humans while also offering up an extremely entertaining story about a guy trying to figure out his place in these systems.
— Alex Billington, FirstShowing.net

The script’s satirical vibrations work on a similar frequency to Apple TV+’s Severance, putting the weird, bleak religification of 21st-century corporate identity square in its sights.
— Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph

It’s also deeply absurd, often feeling like a cousin to Fallout (both the games and the recent series adaptation) with its retro-futuristic dystopian aesthetic and wry, cynical humor.
— Brent Hankins, The Lamplight Review

The “creepers”… are far cuter than their insectoid appearance might suggest, evoking the Ohmu from Hayao Miyazaki’s Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
— David Opie, Total Film

---

Will it appeal to mainstream audiences?

It’s a real crowd-pleaser… Mickey 17 feels like a true blockbuster that doesn’t merely strive for action or cheap thrills but rather understands the innate drama and social awareness that audiences genuinely care about in their cinema.
— Jack Walters, Next Best Picture

Mickey 17… is a throwback to blockbusters as the late 20th century made ’em: a $100 million boisterous sci-fi satire that neither belongs to a franchise nor cares to start one.
— Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph

For those who can identify with standing in line just to stop the world and get off, this is the movie for you, a death-defying and dizzying wild ride.
— Pete Hammond, Deadline Hollywood Daily

The movie will no doubt have plenty of support among the auteurist faithful, but Bong’s storytelling, while undeniably playful, is also cluttered and messy, with too many superfluous diversions.
— David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter

With a reported budget of $150 million, it would certainly be a surprise if this curio can find the kind of audience it needs to succeed.
— Hugh Montgomery, BBC.com

---

Is it funny?

Bitterly funny.
— Alison Wilmore, New York Magazine/Vulture

Arguably [Bong Joon Ho’s] funniest.
— Brent Hankins, The Lamplight Review

You will laugh out loud multiple times throughout Mickey 17.
— David Opie, Total Film

Bong invests it all with wry, sometimes even silly, humor, but Paddy Chayefsky for one would have loved it.
— Pete Hammond, Deadline Hollywood Daily

Mickey 17 plays as a Wile E. Coyote cartoon, channeling all of Chuck Jones’ madcap fury into a live-action dystopia.
— Ben Croll, The Wrap

There are moments when Bong Joon-ho’s penchant for wackiness can feel a little overwhelming or jarring.
— Jack Walters, Next Best Picture

Again and again lines and scenes strain for comic effect, but fail to deliver the goods.
— Hugh Montgomery, BBC.com

---

Does it have an important message?

Mickey 17 is a very obvious commentary on the disappearance of populism and the emergence of radical politics on the world stage.
— Jack Walters, Next Best Picture

This isn’t just another great Bong Joon-ho movie about how much he hates capitalism (though it definitely is that too), it’s the first Bong Joon-ho movie about how much he loves people.
— David Ehrlich, IndieWire

By the end of Mickey 17, you’ll feel reinvigorated to live harder and love more than ever.
— David Opie, Total Film

The intriguing concept of recyclable people gets bumped aside too often in favor of a clownish take on the corruption of power.
— David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter

---

How is Robert Pattinson’s performance?

Robert Pattinson is a blast to watch as he plays different characters.
— John Nguyen, Nerd Reactor

Pattinson has fun playing the Mickeys — one timid, one hostile — but it’s his performance as Mickey 17 that gives this sci-fi picture its resonance.
— Tim Grierson, Screen International

Pattinson is a revelation here… a hilarious performance that takes on new dimension as the story progresses. This is clearly one of his best, if not riskiest screen outings, and the actor delivers.
— Pete Hammond, Deadline Hollywood Daily

Pattinson could easily call comedy his true calling, here delivering an elastic physical performance as dexterous as Jim Carrey in his prime.
— Ben Croll, The Wrap

Pattinson’s chemistry with himself ends up being the kind most actors would kill for… a genre-defying performance.
— David Opie, Total Film

Pattinson’s performance is surely inspiring, even when it verges on becoming gimmicky.
— Savina Petkova, AwardsWatch

This is Pattinson at his best.
— Clarisse Loughrey, Independent (UK)

If Robert Pattinson doesn’t walk away with a Best Actor nomination for his performances as multiple Mickeys, something is very, very wrong.
— BJ Colangelo, Slashfilm

---

does anyone else in the cast stand out?

Ruffalo’s performance is undoubtedly the loudest and most audacious in Mickey 17… It’s his performance that people will be discussing all year.
— Jack Walters, Next Best Picture

Ruffalo has cranked the volume up on his Poor Things performance and is delightfully unhinged as Marshall.
— Savina Petkova, AwardsWatch

Ruffalo in particular is an absolute scene-stealer. If you thought he was going for it in Poor Things, you better strap in for Mickey 17.
— BJ Colangelo, Slashfilm

Collette is just as good as the malicious power behind the throne, so to speak.
— David Opie, Total Film

Naomi Ackie is wonderful as Mickey 17’s girlfriend Nasha, a hot-blooded soldier who recognizes Mickey’s bravery for what it is.
— David Ehrlich, IndieWire

Naomi Ackie as Mickey’s lover Nasha is amazing, taking on this simple supporting role and turning it into something much more meaningful and powerful.
— Alex Billington, FirstShowing.net

Naomi Ackie is enjoyably sweary and makes the most of a rousing anti-authoritarian speech.
— Hugh Montgomery, BBC.com

---

How does the movie look?

The cinematography from Darius Khondji and inventive production design from Fiona Crombie of this futuristic place that varies between drab lab-like atmosphere and garish digs of Marshall, is first rate.
— Pete Hammond, Deadline Hollywood Daily

Darius Khondji’s cinematography is a vital element – he shot Bong’s oddball creature feature Okja and makes this piece just as visually striking: icy tundras, angry furnaces and fretting faces filling the screen in vivid fashion.
— Lou Thomas, Time Out

Fiona Crombie’s production design gives the movie an imposing scale, though for a project shot by Darius Khondji and screened in IMAX, the visuals are nothing special.
— David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter

---

Does it have any major problems?

The first act is stuffed with exposition, and some stylistic elements (such as Pattinson’s narration) frequently feel overused.
— Jack Walters, Next Best Picture

It was a lost opportunity with the film switching up the third act instead of seeing the drama of the Mickeys play out. I think it would have worked better as a series.
— John Nguyen, Nerd Reactor

Over the course of the film, a story that starts as a subplot becomes increasingly important, and it creates a narrative and tonal imbalance that holds the film back from its full potential.
— Germain Lussier, io9.com

Mickey 17 opens in theaters on March 7, 2025.

Phase Five has been a mixed bag for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, consisting of not only one of its biggest successes but also its greatest failure. The franchise is certainly relying on name recognition in the hopes of continuing its kickstart of the post-Endgame world, but is it attracting any more than its core audience? Marvel is not the only universe with a sequel out this weekend, but both are certainly relying on their international fans to turn them into successes.

King of the Crop: Captain America: Brave New World Wins Presidents Day Weekend

On first glance the money made by Captain America: Brave New World would make for a lovely lottery windfall for some lucky player. In this young year, it already easily owns the biggest opening weekend and the highest gross to date, soon to become the first to cross $100 million. What’s that you say? A Marvel movie didn’t make $100 million in its first three days? Actually, Brave New World barely made $100 million in its first four days, though the current estimates are optimistic. What might blow your mind is just how many have achieved that. Not just limiting to the MCU, but Marvel characters have been responsible for 25 motion pictures (including Spider-Man, Deadpool, and X-Men films) that opened to over nine digits in a single weekend. On that list, Brave New World ranks 32nd. Don’t like the fully loaded list? Fair enough. For just within the MCU, the opening ranks 24th.

That has to be a tad disconcerting to the powers that be, especially when its $87.8 million three-day opening is not much higher than Thor: The Dark World ($85.73 million), X-Men Origins: Wolverine ($85.05 million, just $308 lower than Doctor Strange), or Black Widow ($80.36 million), which opened in the middle of a pandemic with a home viewing option. Reducing the overall Marvel list down to just the MCU, the highest-grossing domestic release for a film to open below $90 million was indeed Doctor Strange with $232.6 million. As far as short-term goals, that is a number Brave New World would love to hit for a minor victory. If the $180 million pricetag being reported is accurate (with its multiple, multiple reshoots), the additional $92 million overseas this weekend is not the greatest comfort if there is fear of a major drop-off next weekend.

As far as satisfying its fans and critics, though, the MCU has been disappointing — maybe more so the critics. But despite fan criticism that film critics have been either paid off by Marvel to say nicer things than the work over at DC, or that they’re just automatically harsh to comic book movies (the arguments have zero consistency), please remember this. Up until Eternals in 2021 — that is 13 years of the MCU — none of the films (not even Thor: The Dark World or 2008’s Brave New World prequel, The Incredible Hulk) received a Rotten rating on the Tomatometer. After Eternals (Rotten at 47%) the only other Rotten score was achieved by Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (46%). Even The Marvels has a 62%. Brave New World just became the third worst-reviewed of the Universe with a split 50% with critics. Among those surveyed by Cinemascore, this is the first time an MCU film was saddled with a grade as low as a B-.

Fresh Surprise: Chinese Hit Ne Zha 2 Soars Past $1 Billion

The Chinese adventure fantasy, Ne Zha, made $722.5 million overseas back in 2019. That’s just $3.69 million in the states, but still quite a haul. The sequel, Ne Zha 2, opened in China on Jan. 29. In three days it grossed $137 million (take that, Brave New World), and three days later it tripled that amount. By its eighth day, it had made over $684 million. On Feb. 8, it became the highest-grossing Chinese film of all time with $958 million. That is more than The Force Awakens made in North America. Ne Zha 2 opened on this continent this weekend, and it grossed a modest $7.2 million over the weekend and $8.2 million through the holiday. As of this weekend, the film had made $1.54 billion. That is more than Marvel’s The Avengers and is good enough to be the 11th highest-grossing film of all-time.

Tales of the top 10: Paddington in Peru Opens in Second, Heart Eyes Surges in Second Week

If there are two series that can thank their international fanbase for keeping them going over the years it is Paddington and Bridget Jones. The latter had its fourth and final chapter debut on Peacock this week in the U.S., while overseas it was in theaters and outsold Barbie in presales. Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy also just happened to get the highest critical score of the series and grossed $35.5 million internationally. Add that to the $620+ million the first three films made overseas. 

Paddington in Peru, meanwhile, has been out across the pond since November and had accumulated over $84 million up until this weekend. Domestically the film made $13 million over the weekend and an estimated $16 million through the Presidents Day holiday. That is slightly better than Paddington 2’s $11 million, which translated into a disappointing $40.8 million after the $76.2 million haul of the first film. However, with a $95 million combined pricetag, those first two movies still grossed a combined $486 million globally, both also individual successes. Paddington in Peru arrives with a solo pricetag nearly as high as those first two films combined ($90 million) and is going to need those international dollars to turn a theatrical profit. $115.8 million in three months is not even half of what either of the first two entries did.

Maybe horror fans were listening last week when I wondered where their genre support was, because over the Valentine’s Day weekend, Heart Eyes actually increased business nearly 20% to earn a $9.8 million haul. Horror fans may not be showing up in droves, but with over $22.5 million in 11 days, this film is about halfway towards a profit without a dollar registered overseas yet. Last week’s competition, on the other hand, is not doing as well. Both Heart Eyes and Love Hurts cost $18 million. The Ke Huy Quan starrer with the savage reviews fell lightly to $4.2 million over the weekend and an estimated 11-day total of just $12.6 million. It has made just another million internationally so far. Heart Eyes’ sci-fi/horror/comedy counterpart, Companion, finished in ninth place with $1.8 million. Its estimated total through Monday is $19 million.

Turns out that Dog Man was not that negatively impacted by the arrival of Paddington. The animated film that led the box office for two consecutive weeks took a huge drop last week (61.6%) and appeared poised to lose even more if families switched over from dog to bear. Except Dog Man held steady, from a 61.6% drop last week to just a 30% drop this week with $9.8 million over the weekend and $12.6 million estimated through the holiday. That puts the film at $69.6 million and about three million below the pace of Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, which had a $9.5 million third weekend. After last week’s fall, Dog Man looked to be topping out around $80 million. This week’s rebound now puts it on pace closer to $90 million. It has made another $17.6 million internationally.

Mufasa: The Lion King officially won the domestic battle over Sonic the Hedgehog 3 last week (Sonic will have over $234 million Monday) and is now making its play to cross the $250 million line in North America. Another $4.7 million through the holiday puts the film at over $241 million. Globally it is over $686 million — or what Ne Zha 2 made in just a week in China. But Disney can’t complain too much, as it is definitely another winner, even if, like Brave New World, it is not nearly in the vicinity of its predecessors.

We are midway through February and the top three films of the year are a Marvel film, a non-franchise animated film and One Of Them Days. The Sony release made $3.3 million over the holiday to bring it to nearly $44 million total. That’s more than Den of Thieves 2, Flight Risk, and Wolf Man. These are solid numbers for a film led by a primarily Black female cast when you consider how miniscule that list continues to be. Hidden Figures ($169.3 million), Girls Trip ($115.1 million), Dreamgirls ($103.3 million), The Woman King ($67.3 million), and Waiting to Exhale ($67 million) are some of the most notable examples. This weekend put One of Them Days past 2019’s Little, which starred Marsai Martin, Regina Hall, and Issa Rae and grossed $40.8 million. Sony Classics also has Becoming Led Zeppelin, which expanded from 369 IMAX theaters into 1,039 this weekend and made $1.7 million over the weekend and $2 million through the holiday. That brings the documentary to $5.6 million..

Beyond the Top 10: Flight Risk Drops

Flight Risk is out of the top 10 in its fourth weekend, grossing $1.5 million to bring its total to $28 million. James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown made $1.08 million over the weekend and an estimated $1.48 million through the holiday bringing its total over $71 million. Moana 2 came in just under a million with $989,000 to bring its domestic total to $458 million. The release of the 2024 Oscar Nominated Short Films made $840,000 in 320 theaters. It will expand further next weekend. Matthew Rankin’s Certified Fresh Universal Language, released by Oscilloscope, made $41,000 in just 2 NY/LA theaters.

Oscar-winning writer-director Bong Joon Ho’s latest film is a high-concept sci-fi satire — not unfamiliar territory for him — about a man who agrees to take on dangerous assignments on an off-world colony with the understanding that every time he dies, a new version of his body will be cloned and put back to work. The man at the center of it all is played by Robert Pattinson, who took inspiration from a variety of surprising sources to breathe life into the different iterations of his character. Watch the video to see how Pattinson interpreted Mickey’s plight and found a way to tap into the sadness of the situation while still maintaining the film’s off-kilter tone.

As SNL fans wait for SNL50: The Anniversary Special to air on NBC and Peacock tonight, cast members are recalling some of their favorite and most iconic sketches over the last fifty years, including current stars Andrew Dismukes and James Austin. In a recent interview with Rotten Tomatoes, Austin and Dismukes look back at their own auditions and their favorite sketches of all time. They’re also sharing what sketches they’re most proud of and who their dream host would be.

Check out the full conversation in the video above, and be sure to tune in for the three-hour special airing tonight at 8 p.m. E.T.

Rotten Tomatoes: What did you do for your SNL audition?

James Austin: Oh man, I did like 15 different impressions and a couple original characters. I tried to give the people of the show as big a range as possible. I think I did Donald Trump sings Happy Birthday to Frankenstein at Mar-a-Lago, I did Bobby Flay teaching you how to eat sushi, Michael Rapaport. I was Anohni. The singer, Anohni, I’m a big fan of.

Five years after his last release, Parasite, won Best Picture at the Academy Awards (and also earned him Oscars for Best Director and Best Screenplay), Bong Joon-ho is finally back with a new movie. According to the first reactions from critics on social media, Mickey 17 is worth the wait. Returning the filmmaker to the sci-fi genre, the movie offers a dark but weird political satire and a must-see performance from Robert Pattinson as multiple “expendable” clones.

Here’s what critics are saying about Mickey 17:

---

Has Bong Joon-ho made another classic?

Bong Joon-ho has crafted another masterpiece with Mickey 17… [his] best English-language film yet.
— BJ Colangelo, Slashfilm

Rest assured that Bong Joon-ho is still very good at making movies.
— David Ehrlich, IndieWire

Director Bong skillfully balances the absurdity and satire with some nice sci-fi world building.
— Matt Maytum, The Movie Wingman

Mickey 17 is… what I love about Bong Joon-Ho’s work.
— Rachel Leishman, The Mary Sue

Mickey 17 is a fascinating work.
— Chase Hutchinson, The Playlist

---

What are some comparable movies?

Full of ideas Bong Joon-ho has played around with before but wrapped in a sci-fi package, it’s his Starship Troopers.
— Chase Hutchinson, The Playlist

Bong Joon-ho’s sense of humor is both subtle and brash when needed, even evoking Paul Verhoeven at times à la Starship Troopers.
— Andrew J. Salazar, Discussing Film

[It’s] an Okja-fied version of Moon, but better than that elevator pitch.
— Barry Hertz, Globe and Mail

---

Is it totally bonkers?

Mickey 17 is weird, twisted… truly some of the most out there storytelling there.
— Rachel Leishman, The Mary Sue

Zany… a thrilling, unexpected sci-fi drama.
— Emily Murray, Total Film

Deeply chaotic.
— Barry Hertz, Globe and Mail

Chaotically charismatic.
— Liam Crowley, Screen Rant

---

Does it have substance?

It is a hard hitting look at colonization, consumerism, and more.
— Rachel Leishman, The Mary Sue

[It’s] a deeply heartfelt and uncomfortably funny musing on capitalism, colonization, and corruption… a perfect film for our time.
— BJ Colangelo, Slashfilm

[It] feels incredibly urgent to today’s world.
— Emily Murray, Total Film

This was the exact film I needed at this chaotic moment.
— Chris O’Falt, IndieWire

It left me with a new POV on humanity and morality.
— Liam Crowley, Screen Rant

---

How is Robert Pattinson in his dual role?

You’ll instantly fall for Robert Pattinson’s brilliant performance.
— Emily Murray, Total Film

Robert Pattinson delivers a crazy subversive and hilarious dual performance.
— Andrew J. Salazar, Discussing Film

Robert Pattinson [gives] a performance that sounded a helluva lot like Steve Buscemi.
— Chase Hutchinson, The Playlist

Robert Pattinson is great many times over.
— Matt Maytum, The Movie Wingman

Robert Pattinson is a blast to see playing different characters.
— John Nguyen, Nerd Reactor

You can never have “too many” Robert Pattinsons.
— Rachel Leishman, The Mary Sue

Pattinson gets truly lost in this role.
— Liam Crowley, Screen Rant

---

Do any of the other performances stand out?

Mark Ruffalo’s sleazy politician [is] a highlight, too.
— Emily Murray, Total Film

Ruffalo steals every scene.
— Liam Crowley, Screen Rant

Ruffalo does [the] best Trump of our generation because he correctly infuses it with Goggins’s Baby Billy.
— Barry Hertz, Globe and Mail

---

Are there any problems with the movie?

The movie pivots to having very familiar and obvious political parallels… making it feel too real to be as fun as it wants to be.
— Germain Lussier, io9.com

I wish it was coated in more traditional darkness, less black comedy.
— Liam Crowley, Screen Rant

I felt it was a lost opportunity focusing the third act on the otherworldly threats instead of seeing the drama of the Mickeys play out. I think it would have worked better as a series.
— John Nguyen, Nerd Reactor

Mickey 17 opens in theaters on March 7, 2025.

Saturday Night Live has kept audiences laughing for five decades now, and to celebrate this massive milestone, we asked fans to vote for their favorite live sketch from our curated list of 50 — or write in their favorite — and the results are in!

To no one’s surprise, “More Cowbell” has been crowned the best SNL sketch of all time. Audiences fell in love with the hilarious sketch, starring Christopher Walken, Will Ferrell, Chris Parnell, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Kattan, and Horatio Sanz, 25 years ago. Since then, it’s been named one of the most iconic sketches in SNL history.

The hilarious “Matt Foley: Down by the River” sketch starring Chris Farley, Phil Hartman, Julia Sweeney, David Spade, and Christina Applegate came in at No. 2, and “Celebrity Jeopardy!: French Stewart, Burt Reynolds, Sean Connery” landed at No. 3.

Want to know what sketches made the top 10? Check out the titles below, and drop your thoughts in the comments.

SNL50: The Anniversary Special is now available to stream on Peacock.

---

1. More Cowbell (2000)

This legendary sketch featuring Christopher Walken as producer Bruce Dickinson and Will Ferrell as the enthusiastic cowbell virtuoso in the rock band Blue Oyster Cult ran away with the poll, garnering over 27% of the vote. It was, by far, the most popular sketch.

---

2. Matt Foley: Down by the River (1993)

Coming in second with 14% of the vote is the late Chris Farley’s first appearance on this list and first appearance as motivational speaker Matt Foley, who, yes, lives in a van down by the river and does a great job making David Spade and host Christina Applegate crack.

---

3. Celebrity Jeopardy!: French Stewart, Burt Reynolds, Sean Connery (1999)

Celebrity Jeopardy! has been an SNL mainstay over the years, but when Norm Macdonald returned to the show to host in 1999, it resulted in some of the sketch’s most iconic moments from “Turd Ferguson” to “Ape Tit” to the oversized cowboy hat. This one racked up just under 12% of the vote.

---

4. Chippendale’s Audition (1990)

After the top three, the remainder of sketches split the vote fairly evenly, with this classic from 1990 — featuring Chris Farley and Patrick Swayze trying out for the famous male burlesque troupe — leading the rest of the pack with just a hair over 5% of the vote.

---

5. Debbie Downer – Disney World (2004)

This recurring sketch starring Rachel Dratch as a woman who only ever sees the dark side of life became so well-known that its title character made its way into the mainstream lexicon as a term to describe a vocal pessimist.

---

6. NPR’s Delicious Dish: Schweddy Balls (1998)

Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon’s send-up of dry public radio programming hit a high note when host Alec Baldwin joined them as a baker named Pete Schweddy to talk about his famous Schweddy Balls.

---

7. Close Encounter (2015)

The first appearance of Kate McKinnon’s unfortunate alien abduction survivor whose story is dramatically different than her peers is arguably also the best one, if only for the fact that McKinnon is so good that nobody else in the sketch, especially host Ryan Gosling, can keep it together.

---

8. Black Jeopardy with Tom Hanks (2016)

The most well-known iteration of this sketch came in 2016 just before the election, when host Tom Hanks appeared as a white man in a MAGA hat who discovers surprising commonalities with his fellow contestants. Incidentally, this was also the episode that introduced the world to David S. Pumpkins.

---

9. Cheeseburger Cheeseburger (1978)

The oldest sketch to make into the top 10 features John Belushi as the proprietor of the Olympia Restaurant, where the only items on offer are cheeseburgers, chips, and Pepsi, no matter what the customers want.

---

10. Washington’s Dream (2023)

And the oldest sketch on the list is followed by the newest sketch, in which host Nate Bargatze’s George Washington describes a vision for America that includes inexplicable alternate weights and measurements, among other confusing things.
