At long last, 'SNL' will finally return from its hiatus with this Saturday's Jennifer Lawrence-hosted episode, fresh off her Golden Globe win for 'Silver Linings Playbook.' Joining the 'Hunger Games' star for her inaugural hosting turn will be that of folk-rock band The Lumineers, but what can we expect based on NBC's first 'SNL' promos with Jennifer Lawrence? Get a sneak peek at this weekend's all-new 'SNL' with Jennifer Lawrence inside!

This past weekend's 'SNL' with Martin Short hosting and music legend Paul McCartney, certainly proved at least memorable, between the solemn cold opening paying tribute to the victims of the recent Sandy Hook tragedy, and Samuel L. Jackson accidentally cursing not once, but twice amid the sketches. So how can the series top itself again when 'SNL' returns in 2013? By recruiting 'The Hunger Games' and 'X-Men: First Class' star Jennifer Lawrence, as its next host, of course! Will she pay tribute to the 'SNL' greats?

Cecily Strong's 'Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started A Conversation With At A Party' character — one which speaks not only incoherently but also incorrectly and rudely — made another appearance on last night's show, teaching host Seth Meyers a thing or two about being a good person.

While most would agree that 'SNL's' most recent turn with 'Django Unchained' star Jamie Foxx hosting and musical guest Ne-Yo stayed mostly level, it's no secret that a portion of 'SNL' viewers tune in to see which sketches can make the performers break. "The Californians" has been known to get cast members giggling, partiuclarly Bill Hader and Fred Armisen, but we've never seen them lose it so hard as a deleted sketch from Saturday featuring the pair as doormen. Check it out inside!

Sometimes 'Saturday Night Live' is smart. Sometimes 'Saturday Night Live' uses a sketch to make a point or skewer an topic worthy of parody. Sometimes, 'Saturday Night Live' sketches have pretty clear points. Not this one. This sketch feels like it was thought up at three o'clock in the morning on Friday by a group of writers with only a few hours of sleep between them...and it's kind of amazing. It's the hardest game show of all time: contestants look at a picture and must figure out if they're looking at actor Dermot Mulroney or actor Dylan McDermott.

With the election a month behind us, 'Saturday Night Live' has to find another political subject to latch onto in the coming weeks and the Fiscal Cliff crisis certainly feels right. Last night's episode continued the 2012 tradition of opening episodes with something politically themed with a typical presidential press conference sketch, where Jay Pharoah's President Obama took the stage to address the Fiscal Cliff. Naturally, things get weird pretty quickly.

Poking fun at the fact that America can't look at writer/director/producer/arrogant-individual Tyler Perry without seeing the 6'5" grandmother that made him famous, last night's 'Saturday Night Live' spoofed his recent foray into drama.

Last night, Saturday Night Live took on a target that's been pretty ripe for parody for some time now: the films and work of Tyler Perry, AKA, Madea, AKA, Alex Cross. In the case of this very funny digital short, it turns out that they're one in the same...literally. As in Cross and Madea are split personalities inhabiting the same body and they must work together to solve mysteries. Yeah, it's weird.

Occasionally 'Saturday Night Live' offers up a sketch that isn't only clever in its dialogue but also in it's absurdity. Good example: last night's 'Dylan McDermott or Dermot Mulroney' skit, in which three guests — who refused to be introduced — appear on a game show in order to dechiper which actor is which.

Talk about your Christmas come early! A few weeks ago during Jeremy Renner's stint hosting 'SNL,' we were ecstatic to learn that 'Django Unchained' star Jamie Foxx would return to hosting duties for the third time on December 8, with musical guest Ne-Yo. Now, 'Saturday Night Live' has unwrapped its best Christmas present yet, returning alumni Martin Short to the stage as host of the December 15 outing, accompanied by none other than musical legend Paul McCartney!

Though Jeremy Renner's turn hosting 'SNL' this past weekend may have felt somewhat uneven, many would argue that the normally-stoic 'Avengers' star still did a better job than other hosts unprepared for sketch comedy, like Daniel Craig, or even to a degree Louis C.K. And while Renner wasn't present for the Guy Fieri deleted scene that exploded in popularity yesterday, another 'SNL' deleted scene is making the rounds that might have seen Renner at his best! Check out what didn't make the cut!
