Saturday Night Live recruited the perfect guest to address the latest drama surrounding Harry Potter author J.K Rowling.

During the season 51 premiere,"Weekend Update"brought out Dobby the House Elf — Bowen Yang in terrifying prosthetics — to speak about Rowling's anti-trans views amid her reignited feud with the franchise's star Emma Watson. Shaking in his seat, Dobby initially hesitated to comment on the subject, but then segment anchor Michael Che offered him some encouragement.

"You don't have to be scared," Che told the elf.

"Scared? Why would Dobby be scared, sir? Dobby’s just about to publicly weigh in on trans people, that's all," Yang's Dobby began. "Master sent Dobby to go on the telly and define, once and for all, what a woman is, sir!"

After accidentally revealing Rowling as his master, Yang's Dobby exclaimed, "Oh, no, Dobby wasn't supposed to say!" Banging his head on the desk, he cried, "Bad Dobby, bad Dobby, bad Dobby."

Around this point, Dobby's pillowcase tunic began to slip off his shoulders — but Yang took the wardrobe malfunction in stride.

"Oh, Dobby’s come undone," Yang said, holding up the straps of the garment. "I'm sorry! My fatigues are not well-made!"

Continuing the bit, Yang's Dobby made his best effort to defend Rowling's anti-trans stance, arguing, "Master Rowling has done so much for Dobby and for inclusion in general. Remember when Dumbledore was gay, after the books came out? And when Hermione was Black, only on Broadway? And when Cho Chang was…"

Trailing off, Dobby said, "Hmm… was Cho Chang Asian? Dobby can't remember if the character Cho Changwas Asian."

After another slipup, Dobby leapt from behind the "Weekend Update" table to bang his head against the camera, prompting Che to ask why the elf felt the need to self-punish.

"Why? Dobby doesn't know. Perhaps because house elves are somehow always the problem, even though we're only 1 percent of the population," he said, lampshading the trans community getting scapegoated by rhetoric tied to the TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminists) movement. "But house elves aren't the victims. Master Rowling is! She gets so much hate mail."

Dobby then whipped out a shirt that read "They K. Rowling," showing it off as an example of the hate Rowling receives. When co-anchor Colin Jost pointed out that, per the book's lore, the clothing items mean Dobby is now free, the house elf jumped for joy — while Yang desperately clung to the fabric at his shoulders to keep it from sliding entirely off.

When the sketch came to an end, Jost and Che immediately began joking about Yang's wardrobe malfunction.

"We've seen it all," Jost quipped. "We're seeing it all."

Yang then dropped the strap and struck a pose, embracing the mishap before exiting the stage.

The latest dig at Rowling comes after she made headlines for slamming Watson, who refused to defend the author's view on trans rights but also stated that she still treasures her experience working alongside Rowling during her Harry Potter days.

"Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is," Rowling wrote in a scathing post on X. "Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public — but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it."

After which there's Cecilia "Lala" Dominguez (Mariel Molino), a particular agent who we study is dearly necessary to Gibbs, regardless of her by no means being talked about on the flagship collection.

There's a motive for that, after all, and it has one thing to do with that season 1 finale cliffhanger. So, will there be an NCIS: Origins season 2? When is it popping out? Who will seem in it? Learn on as we reply these questions and extra with insights from the solid and creators.

Later, nonetheless, Lala leverages her personal friendship with Lara Macy (Claire Berger), who's investigating the case, to brush it underneath the rug, lest Lala discover her total life ruined alongside Gibbs and Franks.

Her gambit works, and the season ends with Macy telling Franks that there's inadequate proof to pursue the case. Franks is aware of one thing occurred to set off Macy's change of coronary heart, and Schmid informed Entertainment Weekly that they'll probably be confronting it subsequent season.

"Franks is an clever man," the actor mentioned. "He can learn between the strains. That's why he’s such interrogator. I believe there's extra to that story to be informed."

Seems it's his older brother, Mason, and he desires to speak about what occurred to them throughout their time combating abroad within the Vietnam Struggle. (As a reminder, episode 11 of the collection centered on a flashback about how Franks was drafted and his brother volunteered to go battle alongside him.)

What's extra, Lala broke the principles to save lots of him from a jail sentence, and as Stowell famous whereas discussing the story with EW, she was racing to his home when she bought into the accident.

“This may have gigantic ramifications on him,” he informed us. “Is she lifeless? Is she in a coma? Is she paralyzed? I don't know any of this stuff. I do know this a lot. He's going to seek out out that she was in a automotive accident after it looks as if she was on the best way to his home, so the guilt will solely construct.”

“This can be a story I don’t inform,” Harmon says within the episode's closing narration. “I can’t discover the phrases. But it surely by no means stops working by my head. The story of her.”

Talking with EW following the finale, North emphasised that "the story that older Gibbs is referring to remains to be being informed.” Monreal, in the meantime, added, “We don't totally perceive that but as a result of we haven't seen the aftermath of what occurs within the finale. We don't see his response to it but. We don't know all the intricacies of all the pieces occurring round it.

The solid for season 2 of NCIS: Origins has but to be confirmed. Based mostly on remarks made by the solid to EW, although, we are able to safely say that Stowell's Gibbs, Schmid's Franks, and Foote's Randy will all return for one more spherical.

All eyes had been on Saturday Night Live to see how the legendary sketch present would tackle the continued battle over TV censorship within the wake of Jimmy Kimmel's suspension and President Donald Trump's fixed assaults on late night time. Though the Jimmy Kimmel Reside host didn't make a cameo as many followers hoped, SNL made it clear the NBC present wouldn't be firming something down in season 51.

In Saturday's premiere, hosted by Unhealthy Bunny, Colin Jost appeared within the Chilly Open as Protection Secretary Pete Hegseth, who referred to as america navy "homosexual as hell," earlier than ranting, "We face the best risk to freedom and democracy the world has ever recognized, and everyone knows what that risk is…"

Trump then received meta, saying: "SNL 51 off to a tough begin: 17 new forged members and so they received the Replace man doing the open. Have a look at Colin, poor Colin. Everyone knows they had been by no means gonna let him do the opening by himself. He can't even do Replace by himself; he wants Michael Che."

Johnson's president continued, "Frankly, I'm stunned Colin's right here. I believed he'd be along with his mates on the Riyadh Comedy Competition," with Jost breaking character to confess he "didn't get a suggestion" for the controversial occasion.

"Right here we’re, SNL season 51. Ought to have referred to as it at 50, proper? So unhappy to see one thing get so previous and confused and nonetheless demand your fixed consideration," Trump stated, tongue-in-cheek. "However they higher be on their greatest habits, in any other case they're going to need to reply to my assault canine on the FCC, Brandon Carr." (Mikey Day then entered as Carr, who corrected him and famous that his identify's really Brendan.)

"Okay, I assume I'll allow them to begin the present," Trump stated. "I see the crew's all able to go. By the way in which, thanks SNL crew in your laborious work and your votes. You fellas gonna keep watch over Marcello [Hernández] for me, proper?" he requested, because the digital camera nodded up and down.

"Keep in mind, Daddy's watching. And, reside from New York, it's Saturday Night time!"

Trump has spent the final month slamming varied late-night hosts, in addition to ABC's choice to reinstate Kimmel.

"I can't consider ABC Faux Information gave Jimmy Kimmel his job again. The White Home was instructed by ABC that his Present was cancelled!" Trump fumed. "One thing occurred between then and now as a result of his viewers is GONE, and his 'expertise' was by no means there. Why would they need somebody again who does so poorly, who's not humorous, and who places the Community in jeopardy by enjoying 99% constructive Democrat GARBAGE."

This got here after Kimmel teamed up with fellow late-night hosts Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers to taunt the president with an Instagram photograph captioned, "Hello Donald!"

Trump, a former SNL host, has publicly criticized all three late-night hosts, who’ve all been vocal critics of his presidency on their respective exhibits.

The late-night chaos started in July when CBS introduced that The Late Show With Stephen Colbert would end in May 2026, a number of days after the host criticized the CBS mother or father firm, Paramount, for settling a lawsuit from the president. The transfer additionally coincided with Paramount's then-pending merger with Skydance, which was permitted only a few weeks after the present's cancellation announcement. CBS has said the cancellation was not linked, and was "purely a monetary choice."

Trump celebrated The Late Present's cancellation, writing on social media on the time, "I completely love that Colbert’ received fired. His expertise was even lower than his rankings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is subsequent. Has even much less expertise than Colbert!"

Then on Sept. 17, ABC introduced it was pulling Kimmel off air "indefinitely" in response to remarks the host made on his present following the loss of life of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Since season 50 wrapped, the solid has undergone considered one of its extra dramatic transitions in years. 5 solid members have departed together with veterans Heidi Gardner and Ego Nwodim, whose exit got here as a late-summer shock after she'd been anticipated to return. Michael Longfellow is (sadly) gone as is Devon Walker. Because the seasons change, so does our SNL solid…

Surprisingly, Emil Wakim was additionally not requested again. I assumed he confirmed quite a lot of promise, however I suppose typically (particularly lately) stand-up voices might not at all times match. As he joins the distinctive class of proficient one-season solid members, let's see how he does with the wind at his again.

I not too long ago spoke with former solid member Brooks Wheelan, who has a brand new version from his newest comedy particular out, who had this to say… having additionally gone by this expertise: "Spending just one 12 months on SNL is like sleeping with a swimsuit mannequin that gave you crabs. Individuals need to know the way rad it was and you must inform them, 'I even have combined emotions…'"

The present has introduced in 5 new featured gamers: Please Don't Destroy's Ben Marshall has been elevated from the writers' room, becoming a member of stand-ups Tommy Brennan and Kam Patterson, UCB performer Jeremy Culhane, and the (Canadian!) internet comic Veronika Slowikowska.

Tonight's season premiere is dropped at you by host Dangerous Bunny and musical visitor Doja Cat. Look, I can't say I used to be a fan of Dangerous Bunny's earlier reside sketch work, but it surely's clear he’s having a 12 months. It was simply introduced he's performing on the Tremendous Bowl. And extra importantly, he was a scene stealer within the current Glad Gilmore sequel. (If it looks like we simply noticed Dangerous Bunny at 8H — we did! He was the musical visitor throughout the season 50 finale, showing within the pre-recorded "Please Don't Destroy: First Class" sketch and the "{Couples} on the Bar" sketch.)

It's SNL in Assessment time, Conehead nation. Welcome residence.

Chilly Open

Secretary of Warfare Pete Hegseth speaks to navy leaders throughout a Warfare Division deal with at Marine Corps Base Quantico. That is an anticipated, apparent setting for the Chilly Open. Nonetheless, curiously, Colin Jost is enjoying Hegseth — not nice. We’re seeing Jost at his absolute restrict as a performer.

Then, as anticipated, James Austin Johnson's President Trump seems. It is a lot extra humorous and pointed. JAJ is simply that good. I do know some have bored with the fourth wall-breaking schtick, but it surely actually is a pleasant method to cowl quite a lot of territory — each on the subject of holding the present self-aware and riffing on numerous subjects, together with the current Jimmy Kimmel suspension and the Riyadh Comedy Pageant. Watch this only for all the short lands and barbed moments right here alone.

(In a quick look, Mikey Day as FCC chair Brendan Carr is a miss for me. Yawn. We additionally briefly see Jeremy Culhane initially.)

Monologue

Dangerous Bunny talks about his current worldwide tour, and exhibits clips like it’s his residence films. Jon Hamm cameos. Yawn.

Nonetheless, in a greater second, he feedback on the Fox Information uproar over him reserving the Tremendous Bowl. (They edit collectively the networking speaking heads complimenting him as an alternative of pearl clutching.)

As I alluded to within the intro, he’s at an obstacle doing reside sketch comedy — it’s powerful even for probably the most charismatic entertainers, and native English audio system! Nonetheless, his goofball work in Glad GIlmore 2 jogged my memory he has real comedic chops. They only usually are not on full show right here. And he did SNL50, so clearly he’s a fan and likes doing this.

In final place, by a mile, is Duke, performed by Dangerous Bunny. He’s getting the solutions right, however refuses to say them within the type of a query.

Chloe Fineman and Sarah Sherman have been courting for some time, and whereas out to dinner, they ask Andrew Dismukes to be their child donor.

Weekend Replace

Colin Jost and Michael Che sort out the information of the day! As at all times, Che is ribald. A brand new phase: President Trump would make much more sense if he gave the impression of Jennifer Coolidge — a pleasant second (I hope) for Chloe Fineman.

New solid member Kam Patterson comes out to debate — we expect — Sean "Diddy" Combs and his four-year jail sentence. As a substitute, he desires to say the N-word and discusses the present's historical past with it, together with Che's utilization in 2016. One catch: Saying it catches you a half-million-dollar advantageous. Isn't this what Jimmy Kimmel was preventing for? Patterson is energetic and enjoyable right here. I’m curious how the reception will likely be given a few of the minor controversy round his rent. I appreciated it!

This week, J.Ok. Rowling despatched a stinging response to Emma Watson after the Harry Potter actress not too long ago spoke about their relationship. Dobby the Home Elf (Bowen Yang) comes out to as soon as and for all outline the genders. There’s a wardrobe malfunction! That is glorious — nice barbs about Che's cool issue, and I really like Yang's dedication. The digicam work, like within the Chilly Open, is playful too. A lot of enjoyable Harry Potter nods — and it's an excellent metaphor for the general challenge at dangle. Nice stuff.

The mere point out of Zohran Mamdani elicits large applause from the gang.

"Inventing Spanish"

The Iberians are growing their very own language: Spanish. Oh boy, so that is the equal of when Nate Bargatze seems, enjoying a deadpan George Washington on the present — his Washington explains to confused troops that they’re preventing to create its personal weird, nonsensical programs of measurement and language. (Not too long ago, he hosted the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards — the opening ceremony featured a number of SNL solid members doing this.)

Right here, they focus on Spanish's gender guidelines. Mikey Day riffs on Barcelona. One Battle After One other star Benicio del Toro pops in to debate formal and casual variations of the phrase "you," the size of the letter R, and the necessity to take noon naps! (Go see One Battle After One other, please.)

Doja Cat performs "Attractive"

Doja Cat performs on big pink (edible?) flower petals. This is among the singles off her new album. Catchy!

"Dad or mum Trainer Convention"

Michael (Hernández) is going through suspension — he has been making disturbing drawings at college, so his dad Marcus (Dangerous Bunny) has been known as. The principal (Ashley Padilla) is smitten and in consequence desires to all of the sudden go straightforward on Michael… regardless of the photographs depicting her being violently attacked. Nice work from Padilla.

This could have labored higher earlier within the present. The gang is just not positive what to make of the violence, I believe — or her excuses. "Robert, this can be a office!" is an effective ultimate line.

"The Children From Quantity 8"

I cherished the retro opening credit work right here. That is price watching only for that. "And Kenan Thompson as Mr. Abdomen!" Bizarre work from all — and having the solid "play themselves" was impressed. This is perhaps my favourite factor of the night time… the Hamm cameo was not vital although.

• Alexander Skarsgård sits down along with his Pillion director Harry Lighton to speak this attractive, kinky romance.
• Skarsgård was unaware his trade with Pedro Pascal at Cannes went viral: "That was fairly overwhelming, that complete expertise after the credit."
• The pair focus on the express BDSM intercourse scenes and the story behind them.

Alexander Skarsgård arrives within the dim-lit lounge of Manhattan’s Bowery Lodge in an identical blue-grey henley and drawstring sweatpants. He’s having a tough go of it. The 6-foot-4 Murderbot and The Northman star sinks right into a deep-cushioned leather-based chair by the hearth as he relays his trials with meals poisoning from the previous 24 hours.

“It was yesterday morning,” he tells Harry Lighton, his director of queer BDSM romance Pillion. “I had breakfast on the lodge. I used to be simply in Zurich on the movie competition, after which I used to be about to board a airplane to New York. I felt a bit queasy. Then I acquired on the airplane and it was eight hours simply on the toilet flooring, the entire journey. Cheek to the ground. That is an excessive amount of data, however I couldn’t get it up. I used to be dry heaving. There was like a line of individuals exterior the toilet. I needed to exit so they might are available in after which get again in there. It was so tough, so f—ing dangerous.”

It appears like a feat for this man to be sitting right here now with on this Friday afternoon, submitting to an interview with Leisure Weekly. Whilst Lighton provides to take over for him, he’s dedicated to doing it. How’s he feeling now? “Nonetheless f—ed,” Skarsgård responds, earlier than flashing an enthralling smile. “Nicely, good to see you guys.”

His character in Pillion would by no means dare be this susceptible and sincere in public, and maybe not even in personal. Skarsgård fills the function of Ray, a motorcyclist and a sexual dom to Colin, performed by Harry Melling (Harry Potter, The Pale Blue Eye) within the movie impressed by Adam Mars-Jones’ ebook Field Hill. Romance and kink, drama and comedy all intertwine as Colin, a candy parking enforcement officer who lives along with his dad and mom and sings in a barbershop quartet, awkwardly follows this good-looking, leather-clad adonis into the world of BDSM.

Aside from this bout of meals poisoning, Skarsgård and Lighton have had a blast taking this film to worldwide movie festivals. Pillion has been gaining traction and garnering headlines for its overt and unashamed depictions of intercourse — a careless back-alley blowjob and a backwoods orgy included. And the solid could be very a lot channeling that spirit on the street.

A couple of hanging photographs exist on Lighton’s Instagram feed that depict a second from their Cannes afterparty: Paul Tallis, a member of the Homosexual Bikers Motorbike Membership (GBMCC) within the U.Okay. who even have roles in Pillion, squats down on all fours in his leather-based canine masks and harness on the sometimes glamorous occasion.

“It felt sort of naughty in an surroundings the place you're informed that it’s important to put on a sure sort of bow tie,” the filmmaker says. “Paul sneaked within the masks. It appeals to my sense of…I dunno, rise up.”

The one second that has introduced extra goodwill to Pillion than any advertising marketing campaign up to now was a short trade between Skarsgård and actor Pedro Pascal at Cannes. After the screening, video circulated on-line of the True Blood alum, carrying a white Magliano T-shirt with a picture of a boot hovering over a person's outstretched tongue, hugging Pascal and kissing him on the cheek whereas the solid acquired a standing ovation on the screening.

Skarsgård is unaware that the trade acquired any sort of play on-line. “I had no concept,” he says. “Clearly, he was at our premiere. I gave him a bit smooch.”

He can’t even recall what Pascal stated to him in that second. “That was fairly overwhelming, that complete expertise after the credit,” he continues. “It was simply so many individuals and a lot depth. And so thrilling and overwhelming, and in addition sort of awkward as a result of they stored clapping and at one level you're like, ‘Ought to we begin juggling or what?’ Your narcissistic facet is actually lapping it up, but additionally the common-or-garden facet, or the pretend humble facet, is like, ‘Oh no. Cease this.’”

Now in Manhattan for the New York Movie Pageant cease of the tour, Pillion hits the States for the primary time. A film like that is going to naturally really feel disruptive when few movies lately strategy intercourse and kink — and for that matter, homosexual illustration — in such express methods. The Showtime miniseries Fellow Vacationers is probably the closest that involves thoughts in latest reminiscence.

Lighton very a lot needed to “disrupt notions of romance and relationship fashions” with the movie, he says. “There's a model of disruption, notably when utilized to a topic like BDSM, which may very well be fairly deliberate or making an attempt to shock for shock’s sake. My focus was at all times making an attempt to deliver the sort of complexities of the kink world to the display screen…looking for the heat in that group quite than be like Prince Albert, whips, chains, and gags. I believe by nature of it being about exterior tradition, it’s gonna be disruptive in a manner, however I then needed to seek out the methods by which even the skin tradition has an affinity with the mainstream.”

As a substitute of adapting among the ebook’s harsher materials, together with moments of sexual assault, he utilized a contact of romantic comedy to it. Colin is a personality who’s so alienated from the homosexual group, although he has a very supportive mom setting him up on dates. So when he’s thrown face-first (actually) into the world of kink, there’s a, let’s say, studying curve that results in some laughs.

As Lighton describes, “It grew to become about find out how to discover these actions which might carry that very same cost of a naive particular person getting into right into a world which he has no understanding of however approaching it as if he's studying about find out how to fish quite than studying about find out how to f—.”

Skarsgård was hooked by the logline alone earlier than studying the precise script. He echoes an analogous sentiment to Lighton. “Typically you're too respectful and it's too sanitized or it's just like the Cruising model of the movie the place it's the darkish subculture, nevertheless it's harmful and it's a menace,” he says. “This was so lovely 'trigger it felt so heat, attractive, humorous, awkward, and peculiar.”

When it comes to the various intimate bottom-baring moments of Pillion, “I assumed the intercourse scenes have been enjoyable and nice,” he says with a playful smile. “I usually discover intercourse on display screen boring. Usually, the strain, the buildup, the drama is there, however as quickly as they hit the sack, it's like, ‘Nicely then they're f—ing.’ What was so nice in regards to the intercourse scenes in Pillion was that there was an emotional arc to them, a story. Plenty of issues occur in these moments.”

He factors to Colin's birthday scene for instance, which culminates in an outside group intercourse sequence on picnic tables. "It's an enormous, huge emotional second. It's not simply an orgy within the woods,” Skarsgård continues. “I actually love that. If I really feel that pleasure, there's no trepidation going into it. Then it's simply enjoyable.”

One not-so-fun factor was his bike uniform. When using his bike as Ray, Skarsgård is decked out in heavy leather-based from head to toe, resembling in a manner his earlier function on Murderbot. “That house condom was very sweaty and uncomfortable,” the actor says of these six months engaged on the Apple TV+ collection.

He despatched a photograph of himself within the Pillion costume fittings to the wardrobe division on Murderbot. “They knew how relieved I used to be once I acquired to take it off after these six months," he says. "After which per week later, I despatched a photograph of just about the identical outfit. I’m like, ‘Right here we go once more! God damnit.’”

Skarsgård is pulling it collectively to current Pillion to a New York Movie Pageant crowd on Saturday night time, which features a moderated Q&A with him and Lighton. Meals poisoning be damned! Lighton acknowledges what a film like this implies now for our present actuality. He didn't write it with any intentional political messaging embedded inside. But, at a time when LGBTQ rights are being scaled again and the extra excessive MAGA supporters within the States protest the mere presence of a trans character on an animated present that ended three years in the past, such an unapologetic story as this appears like an enormous center finger to that sentiment.

"Undoubtedly on our facet of the pond, as effectively, individuals who do exist on the margins, notably queer individuals, are having their rights rode again. So I'd in all probability really feel extra defensive about my want to painting these individuals in a fancy, human manner," he says. "I undoubtedly didn't set out for the movie to be a social points movie, however I did got down to make one thing which humanized a gaggle of those who I believe have been portrayed in a really derogatory manner. Take trans individuals, for example. For the time being, there's a lot deceptive, derogatory portrayals of that group of marginalized individuals."

Skarsgård views the film as an opportunity to achieve perception right into a subculture. "I hope that they'll stroll away feeling the way in which I felt once I was studying the script. I actually cared about all these characters. I felt with them and for them, and I used to be invested of their journey."

Pillion is slated to open in theaters in February 2026.
