Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship might be owed to Kelce’s appearance on Saturday Night Live

Did SNL bring Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce together?

Saturday Night Live might have a pretty big role in bringing Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce together, according to the guys in the comedy group Please Don’t Destroy.

While appearing on comedian Mike Birbiglia’s podcast, Ben Marshall, who works at SNL with his two Please Don’t Destroy cohorts John Higgins and Martin Herlihy, discussed the trio’s mutual link to Swift and Kelce.

Both Swift and Kelce appeared in Please Don’t Destroy sketches during recent SNL appearances, with Kelce’s coming before Swift’s.

According to Marshall, Swift told the group that she watched Kelce’s episode and thought he was funny, which makes you wonder if Swift might’ve had eyes for Kelce before the two started dating.

Marshall joked that he’d kept that anecdote under wraps in case the two ever break up and Please Don’t Destroy got caught for any of the blame.

It’s fascinating to think that this all could’ve started because Swift saw Kelce host Saturday Night Live, but people fall for each other in a variety of ways. Nailing your SNL hosting gig while a music icon watches is certainly one way it could happen.

2024 SAG Awards: Complete list of winners

Check out the full list of winners from this year’s SAG Awards.

The 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards have come and gone, and we have plenty of new actors who walked away with trophies for their work.

It was an impactful night for a variety of reasons, including trying to predict how next month’s Oscars will go.

Across film and television, various actors and stunt performers earned SAG trophies for their work, with the film Oppenheimer and the television shows The Beef, Succession and Beef all walking away as big winners.

You can check out the full list of winners from this year’s ceremony below, which features notable faces like Robert Downey Jr., Pedro Pascal, Ayo Edebiri, Elizabeth Debicki and Steven Yeun.

SAG Awards nominations 2024: A complete list for every award

Pedro Pascal gave an endearing acceptance speech after being stunned to win his first SAG Award

The best speeches come when they don’t expect to win.

It’s fair to say not many people expected Pedro Pascal to take home the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Male Actor in a Drama Series, including Pascal himself. Succession had been the favorite, taking home multiple awards in the category already. Kieran Culkin won the Critics Choice Award, Emmy Award and Golden Globe for his portrayal of Roman Roy in the HBO drama’s final season.

So when Phil Dunster and Storm Reid called Pascal’s name for his work on HBO’s The Last of Us, the charismatic actor was clearly stunned.

Pascal started his speech with a quip about being a bit tipsy, not having planned on taking the stage at any point. “I’m a little drunk,” he said. “Uhhh, I thought I could get drunk.”

His joy at winning his first SAG was palpable, and he closed by saying, “I’m gonna have a panic attack and leave.” Perfect speech.

Eli Manning roasted Glen Powell’s QB skills ahead of their new college football series

Sir, please don’t insult the slightly confusing beach football scene.

A new comedy based on an Eli Manning character is coming to Hulu with the retired quarterback partnering with actor Glen Powell and showrunner Michael Waldron. The premise is to bring Manning’s “Chad Powers” persona to life in a half-hour episode series. Powell (Top Gun: Maverick) will co-create and co-write with Waldron, as well as star as the lead character.

“When bad behavior nukes hotshot QB Russ Holliday’s (Powell) college career, he disguises himself and walks onto a struggling Southern football team as the talented, affable Chad Powers,” the series description reads, according to a Variety story.

Manning used the announcement as a perfect opportunity to roast the leading man’s abilities after his famous beach scene in Maverick.

UConn’s Dan Hurley shared a self-deprecating ‘Game of Thrones’ meme after shocking Creighton loss

Everybody, go home. Dan Hurley has won the internet.

Dan Hurley knows that UConn’s loss to Creighton is not good. But he’s taking it all in stride because he shared an epic Game of Thrones meme from his social media account that reflects he’s heard the criticism surrounding his team.

The UConn men’s basketball team did not have a good Tuesday evening. They lost to the Creighton Bluejays horrendously. Creighton shot over 50 percent from deep and was already up 14 at halftime. UConn had no answer for anything the Bluejays threw at them, and their 14-game winning streak went out the window. Before the team could even truly make it back to the locker room, Uconn head coach Dan Hurley was seen possibly threatening to knock out a student.

However, Hurley appears to understand that sometimes a bit of self-deprecation is necessary to get better. He shared a glorious Game of Thrones meme to his social media that referenced Cersei Lannister’s walk of shame after she was found guilty of a crime.

NBC has released its broadcast times and channels for the upcoming NTT IndyCar Series season, which starts on March 10 in St. Petersburg, ends on September 15 at Nashville Speedway, and spans 17 races and 18 total events including the non-points All-Star race at the Thermal Club.

The only exception is the event at Barber Motorsports Park, which will run Sunday afternoon on April 28, but does not have a specific airtime locked into place by the series’ official broadcast partner.

[lawrence-auto-related count=3 category=1408]

Among the 18 races, 10 will be presented on the NBC network, with qualifying for the Indianapolis 500 also being carried on NBC. At 56 percent, it marks a significant drop in network events for IndyCar, which had 13 of its 17 on NBC in 2023 (76 percent), including the seven opening races, and 14 from 17 in 2022 (82 percent).

The 2024 broadcast matrix sends the remaining races to NBC’s USA Network cable outlet on six occasions and doubles the exclusives for its Peacock streaming service with two events.

Peacock will continue to be the go-to resource for fans throughout the season with all sessions being carried on the digital platform.

“Throughout the season, Peacock will present over 120 hours of coverage, including nearly exclusive coverage of every qualifying and practice session in 2024,” the series wrote. “Additionally, coverage surrounding the 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500, all INDY NXT by Firestone races, race day warmups and full-event race replays will be available on the platform.”

The upcoming season is the last for NBC under its current contract with IndyCar. Among the contenders to broadcast the series in 2025 and beyond, FOX has emerged as a motivated player in IndyCar’s negotiations.
