Mark Zuckerberg to appear on SNL, prove he has a sense of humor?

the social networkMark Zuckerberg and various other Facebook personnel have notoriously labeled The Social Network as a work of fiction. The infamous CEO has said aside from his wardrobe, the Oscar-nominated film bears little resemblance to the origins of the company. “Honestly, I wish that when people try to do journalism or write stuff about Facebook that they at least try to get it right. The movie is fiction,” Zuckerberg told The New York Times after seeing the movie. But it’s possible he might put any resentment aside in the name of Saturday Night Live.

The Social Network star and Oscar nominated actor Jesse Eisenerg (fun fact: Eisenberg has a cousin that works at Facebook), who portrayed Zuckerberg as a socially inept and morally confounded genius, will host SNL this weekend, and rumor has it that the real life Facebook CEO will make an appearance. According to Page Six of The New York Post, Zuckerberg wants to world to know he doesn’t take himself too seriously, despite any misgivings he harbors about the film. And hey, it is Oscar time, and even though Facebook insists the movie isn’t true, having film’s most prestigious award tied to your company isn’t the worst thing in the world.

We really hope this happens, but don’t get your hearts set on it. An insider told the Post that “They add and throw things out right up to broadcast, so nothing is guaranteed.”

Everything you need to know about Yellowstone season 6
The cast of Yellowstone.

Since its premiere in 2018, Yellowstone has been a breakout hit for The Paramount Network and one of the most popular shows on TV. Taylor Sheridan's modern Western also revitalized Kevin Costner's career by placing him in the lead as John Dutton, the patriarch of the Dutton family, who own the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, one of the largest ranches in Montana.

The fifth season of Yellowstone premiered in 2022, but the future of the series and the franchise were called into question when reports emerged that Costner was leaving the show and Paramount Network had already ordered a sequel series that will continue without Costner's involvement. To bring everyone up to speed, here's everything you need to know about the future of Yellowstone.
Will there be a sixth season of Yellowstone?
Sort of, but not something labeled as Yellowstone season 6. The six remaining episodes of Yellowstone are still technically part of the fifth season, or season 5B, as Paramount has called it. But at the same time that Paramount confirmed the end of Yellowstone, the studio also announced that a contemporary spinoff is on the way that will feature many of the show's current cast members.

There aren't many new romance shows on Netflix right now, but there are new seasons of some popular shows, and that's the next best thing! Netflix's breakout romantic drama, Bridgerton, is back for season 3 on May 16. But since that season is being split into two halves, you'll have to wait until June 13 to see the remaining episodes.

The other good news for romance fans is that Netflix has now added the sixth season of Starz's time-traveling romance drama Outlander. There was a two-year gap between the premiere of Outlander season 6 on Starz and its streaming debut on Netflix. That may mean Outlander season 7 part 1 could come to Netflix in 2025.

It has to be aspirational or touching in some way, whisking you off into a magical place in your mind as you watch.
