Gabourey Sidibe Shows Off Funny Side In “SNL” Promos. Gabourey Sidibe is already bringing the funny with her “Saturday Night Live” hosting gig, but the episode hasn’t even aired. Instead, the new promos show a different, gun-wielding side to the “Precious” star. Promoting her appearance on this Saturday’s “SNL,” she appears with cast member Andy Samberg In a series of four TV spots, available for online viewing and airing now through Saturday. In two of the clips, Sidibe and Samberg get cozy, while in the other two, Samberg is left screaming. “It’s okay. Take off your pants,” Sidibe urges Samberg after he reveals he too was called “Precious” in school. In another clip, Sidibe jokes she gets mistaken for Bruce Willis a lot, whipping out a gun on Samberg and yelling John Mcclane’s famous “Yippee-ki-yay” line from “Die Hard.” Sidibe’s shown her goofy side since she’s hit the talk show circuit and awards show red carpets promoting her very serious Oscar-nominated turn in “Precious.” The 26-year-old hosts “Saturday Night Live” for the first time Saturday, April 24th. MGMT is the musical guest.

”Parks And Recreation” Production Date Moving Up For Amy Poehler’s Pregnancy Amy Poehler’s pregnancy will not be affecting her NBC show. The peacock network is working on a production schedule to accommodate the “Parks and Recreation” star’s expanding belly. The former “Saturday Night Live” star has just recently announced that she is expecting her second child with husband Will Arnett. The baby is set to join 16-month-old big brother Archie. NBC and Universal Media Studios are now moving up the production for the third season of the comedy series, which would mean production on the season will start immediately after season two wraps up, Variety said. This would give Poehler enough time to take a maternity leave without compromising the show’s airing schedule.”Parks and Recreation” will return with original episodes in the fall as planned.
