SNL pokes fun at LA mayor election. What happened?

Saturday Night Live cast a spotlight on the Los Angeles mayoral election in its latest episode. “Nithya Raman, democratic socialist, was elected mayor of Los Angeles. That’s right,” Michael Che, co-host of Weekend Update said. “Because LA is always a year behind us on every trend.” The quip got some cheers during Weekend Update’s roundup of major headlines coming out of the midterms, including that top aide Stephen Miller was tapped to be White House chief of staff. Raman has garnered comparisons with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for their democratic socialist ties throughout the race. Mamdani, who earned the endorsement of the Democratic Socialists of America New York City chapter, was sworn into office at the start of the year. “I’m LA’s Nithya Raman,” Raman said when asked if she’s the city’s Mamdani in an interview with CNN’s Elex Michaelson . The progressive Los Angeles city councilmember defeated incumbent Mayor Karen Bass with 55% of the vote, according to the latest Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk results. County elections officials are scheduled to certify election results on Nov. 27. It is the first time since 2005 that an incumbent Los Angeles mayor has lost. “Here in Los Angeles,

Honoring Julia Morgan, Architect Extraordinaire: Yes, a woman did that

“When do we think the five LA County permitting and review agencies will finally approve our plans?” After 20 months, our beloved architect, Cole Butler — a woman standing on the mighty yet tiny shoulders of über architect Julia Morgan — could still only guess. “A week? Two weeks? If we’re lucky.” Cole is burdened by a complex, drawn-out building bureaucracy that Julia Morgan never had to navigate. From 1904 to her death in 1957, Miss Morgan designed more than 700 buildings, the most famous of which is Hearst Castle on California’s Highway 1 along the central coast.

Toxic Homes, Terrible Dilemma: Oscar Contender ‘Still Standing’ Documents Homeowner Nightmare After LA Wildfires – SFFILM Doc Stories

To shoot their Oscar-contending film Still Standing , directors Víctor Tadashi Suárez and Livia Albeck-Ripka donned hazmat suits – for good reason. Doc Talk Podcast: 'Remake' Director Ross McElwee On Love, Loss And Grieving For His Son Their documentary, winner of Oscar-qualifying awards at Full Frame, the Seattle International Film Festival, and Aspen Shortsfest, explores homes left toxic by the catastrophic Eaton fire that tore through the Altadena section of Los Angeles in January 2025. That wildfire destroyed thousands of homes in Altadena alone, but owners of homes that survived – the houses still standing – faced an impossible dilemma: should they risk their health to return home? “To enter toxic homes, we wore hazmat suits and masks, and covered our car in plastic sheeting,” the directors write. “This is the second time that we have made a film together about wildfires. We met in January 2020, working on a film about the Australian bushfires for The New York Times Presents.” POV/TIME Studios Still Standing screened at SFFILM’s Doc Stories in San Francisco this weekend. It screens at the San Diego Asian Film Festival Sunday, at UnionDocs in Queens, New York on Monday, and at Cameraimage in Torún, Poland on

Billy Idol On His ‘Incredibly Wild’ Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction & Who He Hopes To See There

On Nov. 14, Billy Idol will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s class of 2026 in Los Angeles, along with his longtime co-writer, guitarist and friend Steven Stevens. John Sykes on 2026 Rock Hall Inductions, Why Voters Embraced So Many Acts From the 1980s & Their Curious Snub of Mariah Carey The timing is especially meaningful for Idol: 2026 marks 50 years since the British rocker started making music in punk band Generation X in 1976. He later went solo and became a global superstar with blistering, sneering Hot 100 hits such as “White Wedding,” “Rebel Yell” and “Cradle of Love.” Ahead of the induction ceremony, the City of Los Angeles has declared Nov. 13 Billy Idol Day; to mark the occasion, Idol and Stevens will play a free acoustic show at the very un-rocker time of 10 a.m. Performing, no matter the time, continues to be a thrill. “We’re going to do it while we can,” says Idol. “Rocking till we drop.” Idol, 70, talked to Billboard about what the Rock Hall honor means to him and what’s next. What did you think when you heard you got in? It’s incredibly wild. I fell in

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony is this weekend. Who's getting in, and who's honoring them?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Billy Idol , Oasis , Wu-Tang Clan , Phil Collins, Sade , Queen Latifah , Iron Maiden , Joy Division/New Order and the late Luther Vandross will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday. That's been established since the announcement six months ago. But very little else has been revealed about who will show up, who will perform, who will induct them and who will give musical tributes to the new members. A few answers are likely to trickle out this week, but the Rock Hall likes to keep most of the show a surprise. For the second straight year, the ceremony that moves between Cleveland, New York and Los Angeles will be held at the Peacock Theater in downtown LA. After two years of streaming it live, the Rock Hall is returning to its previous model, where the public won't see it until an edited version airs on ABC and Disney+ in December. The list of 2026 honorees also includes MC Lyte, Celia Cruz , Fela Kuti and Gram Parsons, along with music producers Rick Rubin, Linda Creed, Arif Mardin and Jimmy Miller and variety show host Ed Sullivan.

Fritz Coleman – Great Fun In His Third Year as the Longest-Running Solo Show in the History of the El Portal

One of the things about living in Los Angeles is bumping into people that the rest of the country only see on screen. Years ago, I went up an elevator in West LA with Dustin Hoffman and politely thanked him for his amazing performance in “Death of a Salesman” on Broadway years earlier. More recently, we saw Jay Leno in Hermosa Beach doing an impressive stand-up routine.
