When Jelly Roll was announced as the musical guest for the 50th season premiere of "Saturday Night Live," people knew he would sing, but would he appear in any sketches? Sometimes musical guests do (see Garth Brooks, Morgan Wallen, Chris Stapleton) and sometimes they don't. For fans that tuned in last Saturday, the answer was...no. Or was it? Apparently Jelly was in a skit that got cut for time. Jelly played a cast member of "Blonde Dragon People," a kind of "Game Of Thrones" meets "Lord Of The Rings" skit. Thankfully, NBC released the deleted sketch to YouTube. See Jelly Roll's "SNL" sketch appearance below; Jelly appears at the 4:10 mark.
Miranda Lambert is joining the parade of country stars digging deep to help the victims of Hurricane Helene. We'd already heard that Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs and more had either made donations or taken steps to help in a variety of ways. This week, Miranda announced that her own charity, MuttNation, has donated over $100-thousand to go towards Hurricane Helene relief efforts. In an Instagram post, Miranda spoke over scenes of devastation. "As y’all know, Hurricane Helene hit the southeast hard. It’s hard to wrap my mind around the devastation that our neighbors in Tennessee, Florida, North Carolina and Georgia are experiencing. Our MuttNation Tractor Supply Relief for Rescues has already provided nearly $100,000 to help animal shelters, pets and their families impacted by the hurricane, as well as support emergency response organizations."
