A big thanks to Michael Slezak at TVLine, who compiled the 10 best sketches from this season of "Saturday Night Live." Overall I don't find the show too funny anymore, so I'd much prefer to catch up on the hilarious moments this way.

Bummed to see that Michael Buble's "Christmas Duets" sketch didn't make Slezak's list. I'm still laughing at it six months later.

When I hear "The Chronicles of Narnia," I think of "Saturday Night Live"'s digital short "Lazy Sunday". (If you don't understand the title to this blog post, you should do yourself a favor and click that link for two and a half minutes of amusement.) But apparently I'm in the minority with that line of thought. The third installment in the "Narnia" series had a solid first-place finish in its box office debut.

From The Associated Press:
