00:00Mariska Hargitay's reported Law & Order SVU salary has been revealed. $850,000 per episode.
00:08Dun-dun.
00:08Her staggering income as both star and executive producer was reported by Variety,
00:14ahead of the Milestone 600th episode on November 12th.
00:17Hargitay dished to Variety about the cast and crew's celebration dinner,
00:21her former partner in crime Christopher Maloney was there, and so was show creator Dick Wolf.
00:26It was one of the most extraordinary, meaningful nights, and unexpectedly so to me.
00:31Dick got up and said,
00:33This has never happened, and it will never happen again.
00:36And everything just landed that night.
00:38In case you missed it, Hargitay's pal Jalen Brunson made an SVU cameo last week.
00:44Well, I was gonna buy you lunch, but you seemed good.
00:46No, thanks.
00:48Reviewed my notes on that collar, your boy Rick, real pain in the ass.
00:52Blew a .25 and started yelling at me.
00:54Yeah, that tracks.
00:55Plus, he had a kid in the car.
00:57Teenage boy.
00:58She will have a charge of an endangerment.
00:59But it wasn't his acting debut.
01:01He hosted Saturday Night Live on September 26th.
01:04Roll it.
01:05Put the team on my back, then I take the shot.
01:11Zac Efron is very lucky Jalen Brunson was never in High School Musical.
01:16The NBA champ hosted the SNL Season 52 premiere,
01:19the first New York Knick to ever do the honor.
01:22We've got the moments everyone's talking about right here.
01:24Starting with the best sketch of the night, North High,
01:28that put the NBA champ in a hilarious Corbin Blue wig.
01:31Jalen also sang his heart out, but it's safe to say his vocals were dubbed over,
01:36seeing as he faked this out in the opening monologue.
01:38By now, you've all heard me talk about it, but you haven't heard me sing about it.
01:46And obviously, I'm not going to.
01:49The Point God was joined in Studio 8H by four of his teammates who towered over him on stage,
01:55despite Jalen being a respectable 6'2".
01:57The NBA star also showed off his basketball skills while working at a boring office job,
02:02and the crowd went wild.
02:04During rehearsal, he even tried to butter up the audience with pricey cookies from Levain,
02:09as seen in this viral moment.
02:11Manhattan girlie Jordana Judson told The Post,
02:14they handed out more than 100 cookies to people standing in line in the rain.
02:18Aww.
02:19But the critics at home didn't find Jalen's performance so sweet,
02:22tweeting,
02:23The deadpan thing just doesn't carry a whole episode.
02:26I've never seen a man with less charisma.
02:29And,
02:30Back to your day job.
02:31Thankfully, the MVP was just fully cleared to start Nick's camp after getting surgery
02:36to repair a tendon issue in his left shooting wrist.
02:39On YouTube, the most-watched sketch was the political cold open,
02:43where Ashley Padilla returned as Trump's obsessed assistant, Natalie Harp.
02:47Isn't she great?
02:48She's like the girl from Obsession, but blonde.
02:55Rami Youssef also returned to play NYC mayor Zoran Mamdani.
03:00The writers took several shots at the millennial mayor's Gen Z speak.
03:03I have important work tomorrow, okay?
03:05I have to go to Bushwick and give ketamine to underprivileged bisexuals.
03:11I don't know what any of those words mean.
03:13Rami previously hosted the show in 2024,
03:15and apparently made a good impression.
03:18He returned a year later, right before the election,
03:20to play the Democratic Socialist Darling.
03:23Turns out, Rami and Zoran are buddies IRL,
03:26and they even FaceTimed about his impression.
03:28Is that my tie?
03:30I mean, it's pretty close.
03:31We got the tie, we got the rings.
03:35You got them!
03:36I got the red bracelet.
03:38We got the whole thing.
03:39I got the red bracelet, the rings, and then,
03:43you know, man, we did your smile.
03:44Let me see that.
03:48Dimples for days.
03:49But what did you think of the season 52 premiere?
03:52Was it a slam dunk or a brick?
03:55Sports.
03:56Sound off in the comments.
