BANTER WITH BEN AND LISA #70: Kardashian Drama, Kanye vs. Kimmel, Gravity, and Sneaky Children

This week on “Banter with Ben and Lisa,” we once again go to the listeners for our topics of banter. First up we discuss a nine-year-old who snuck his way onto a Delta flight across the country. Then it’s on to other pressing matters such as the Kris and Bruce Jenner breakup, Lamar Odom’s drug …

VIDEO: ‘Who’s On Top?’ from SNL

Saturday Night Live returned to the air on Saturday with its 37th season premiere, and with Alec Baldwin serving as host, it was its strongest opener in years (comedy-wise).

Not returning for the thirty-sixth season will be Jenny Slate, whose most famous …

Betty White Shines on ‘Saturday Night Live.’ Also, Three Unaired Skits!
