SNL's "Bronx Beat" met "Coffee Talk" at the show's 50th anniversary special on Sunday, in a mashup that officially confirms it's sweater weather.

Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph returned as their "Bronx Beat" characters Betty and Jodi, interviewing Miles Teller about Top Gun Maverick, before being surprised by Mike Myers as his iconic '90s "Coffee Talk" character Linda Richman.

"We're not worthy!" Rudolph exclaimed, in a nod to Myers' SNL-founded Wayne's World. What a trio!

We're well into awards season now, with Britain's largest night celebrating cinema, the BAFTAs, taking place on Sunday in London's Royal Festival Hall.

Giving us another glimpse of what's possibly to come at the Oscars, the big winners at the 2025 British Academy of Film and Television Arts' film awards were Brady Corbet's The Brutalist and Edward Berger's Conclave, each taking home four BAFTAs, with the latter winning best film. Anora's Mikey Madison won the award for best leading actress, having missed out at the Golden Globes (she's also nominated for an Oscar and a Screen Actors Guild Award).

Artificial intelligence is inescapable. It’s curating your Spotify playlists, writing your work emails, and, depending on how much you trust ChatGPT, maybe even drafting your texts. So, of course, it has infiltrated online dating.

The biggest apps are already rolling out AI-powered features — helping you craft the perfect profile or screen for creeps. But the real question isn’t whether AI can be part of your dating life. It’s whether it should be.

SEE ALSO: Is dating an AI chatbot considered cheating?

Should you let an algorithm finesse your Hinge prompts? Can an AI-generated opener spark real chemistry? And if a chatbot politely rejects a match for you… does that make you emotionally unavailable or just efficient?

To untangle the dos and absolutely don’ts of AI-assisted dating, I spoke to friends, acquaintances, and relationship coaches to gain their perspectives.

The argument against using AI at all

Predictably, when I asked people on social media whether using AI in dating apps is fair game, many were quick to say it’s a hard no.

“[It's] unethical, and if you can’t make your own responses to a person you’re interested in dating then you shouldn’t be dating," said Ashley C., a social worker living in Chicago.

Elijah D., a data analyst based in Chicago, was blunt when asked about using AI in dating apps. “IT’S NEVER OK,” he declared.

"I'm anti-AI period," said Devan H. an actor living in New York. "I can't imagine what I would be using an AI for in my dating life. Maybe writing a bio on a dating app? But in that case it really feels like an inaccurate representation of you and your personality doesn't it."

"If it's to create conversation because you're too incompetent to do it on your own, then you deserve to be killed when the AI takes over," joked Heike D., a resident of Texas. "But for real, it feels disingenuous and an easy cop-out for people that refuse to build any true social skills."

The overwhelming sentiment? Letting AI craft your messages feels straight-up disingenuous. Many dating coaches agree, often emphasizing the importance of authenticity — no embellishing your height, job, or anything else that could unravel later. After all, how can you build trust when you’re outsourcing the conversation from the start?

"People using these tools are no longer communicating with one another," said matchmaker and dating coach Blaine Anderson in an email to Mashable.

"The AI communicates for them. So if your AI tool is well-tuned enough to send fun and flirty messages, and you use those messages to land a date, that’s nominally great. But if you’re not actually a fun or flirty person, the person sitting across from you is going to wonder why the version of you they met online never showed up."

Maybe, but with some caveats

So beyond the general inauthenticity of using AI, when is it actually okay to use AI in your dating life? The answer largely depends on personal comfort levels. Still, according to many people who responded to us on social media, the consensus is that AI should be limited to profile bios — and that’s it.

Genny Diehl — known on TikTok as @datingcoachdiehl — says AI can quickly warp your IRL persona. It’s one thing to lean on ChatGPT for the perfect ice-breaker, but once you’re swapping in AI-generated photos and spit-shined banter, you’re no longer showing up as the messy, interesting human you actually are.

SEE ALSO: I put AI photos on my Hinge dating profile. They were the most liked by far

Kenny H., a wedding planner in Houston, sees AI as a handy tool for date planning.

"I've mapped out dates with AI," he told us. "ChatGPT has given me some bomb recommendations. But using it to carry the conversation or anything beyond that? Feels wrong."

Another respondent, Natalie C from Austin, said she found ChatGPT helpful in revamping her profile.

"It told me what aspects to focus on and gave me some prompt ideas so that's the extent I've used it," Natalie said. "But I've seen TikToks of people saying that they've had men say they were using bots to speak to women."

SEE ALSO: People are using AI to date you

"I would say if you're organizing your dating profile [that's fine]," said Kiara T, a resident of Georgia. "But that's the end of it."

Beyond authenticity, there’s also the issue of privacy — especially when feeding personal details about yourself or potential love interests into AI tools like ChatGPT or "rizz" apps designed to generate the perfect response.

“Users should be mindful of their data and exercise caution,” warned Anwar White, a dating coach who specializes in working with women of color. “Over-reliance on AI can hinder personal growth and the development of essential dating skills.”

Because at the end of the day, if an algorithm is doing all the flirting for you, are you really learning how to connect — or just outsourcing the hard part?

So, when is it okay?

Trying to send a breakup text? One person Mashable spoke to says that’s fair game. If AI can help draft a thoughtful, drama-free message — especially for a short-lived situation — why not let it take the emotional labor off your plate?

"I'd be fine with someone using AI to help craft a breakup text to me," said Jackie M., a writer residing in New York. "[But] only if we'd been on fewer than three dates. After that, I'd probably be insulted."

More than anything though, the biggest question is "do you deserve to know your match is using AI?"

"Dating apps already create a layer of separation between people, and AI has the potential to widen that gap even further," Diehl said. "I see no issue if AI helps get someone from 'stuck in app limbo' to 'actually on a date,' but when it becomes a substitute for real engagement, that’s when it stops being a tool and starts being a barrier."

SEE ALSO: Comparing AI features for Bumble, Hinge, and Tinder

That disconnect isn’t just theoretical — some people are already adjusting their expectations, or lowering them entirely.

"Interestingly, I've chatted with a handful of women recently who said they basically don't care about messaging on dating apps anymore, because they can't assume the guy sending the messages is actually the one writing them," Anderson wrote.

At the end of the day, how you use AI in your dating life is entirely up to you. But after speaking with daters, coaches, and experts, one thing is clear: authenticity still matters. You’re better off being yourself — flaws, awkward texts, and all.

When Amy Poehler and Tina Fey opened up their audience Q&A for SNL's 50th anniversary special, we didn't see that Ryan Reynolds moment coming.

The comedians threw to the star-studded during the segment, which invited stars including Cher, Quinta Brunson, Bad Bunny, Keith Richards, Jon Hamm, and many more to ask the pair questions about SNL50.

When Reynolds, sitting beside his wife Blake Lively, stood up to ask something, around 1:50 in the clip above, things got awkward.

“Ryan, how's it going?" asked Fey and Poehler.

"Great! Why, what have you heard?" responded Reynolds.

Considering the highly publicised mess that is Lively's ongoing legal battle with It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni, it seemed a pretty risky move for SNL to hint at going there — especially considering the serious allegations within the lawsuit. And the comments online are thinking along the same lines.

Swiping fatigue is real. Users — jaded, ghosted, and algorithmically exhausted — are disengaging, forcing dating apps into a cycle of feature-swapping to keep them hooked. Tinder now has prompts because Bumble and Hinge did. Voice notes were a Hinge thing — now, you can send them on Bumble. The industry is cannibalizing itself, stitching together familiar features in a last-ditch effort to keep users on.

Enter artificial intelligence.

With the thought that engagement could be slipping, Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge are leveraging AI to streamline matches, generate icebreakers, and push conversations forward. Each platform is experimenting with its own version of AI-driven dating, hoping to make the experience feel fresh instead of frustrating.

Some innovations might stick, and others will fade, but the game has changed — AI is now part of the algorithm of attraction.

Hinge

Hinge, which calls itself the "dating app designed to be deleted," is leaning on AI to fine-tune the path from profile creation to real-world connection. Rather than flooding the experience with automation, Hinge frames its AI tools as enhancements— features meant to refine profiles, improve match recommendations, and maintain safety without overshadowing human interaction.

According to a Hinge spokesperson, the AI-powered Prompt Feedback feature analyzes profile responses and offers personalized suggestions without scripting answers, aiming to help users present themselves more effectively.

Top Photo employs machine learning to optimize profile pictures by prioritizing the image most likely to receive a Like. You've seen this feature before on Tinder, which employs the same general concept. (Both Tinder and Hinge are owned by the same conglomerate, Match Group.)

Hinge says it’s using a mix of automated tools, machine learning, and human moderators to crack down on bad actors. But how well do those tools actually work? That’s still up for debate.

A recent investigation from The Markup found that Match Group has known for years about predators and abusers lurking on its platforms — yet reportedly did little to stop them, fearing it could slow down the company’s growth.

Bumble

Bumble is leveraging AI to enhance safety, compatibility, and user engagement while maintaining its focus on "equitable connections." A Bumble spokesperson said the app’s For You feature curates a daily selection of four profiles based on user preferences and past matches, with recent AI-driven improvements designed to increase compatibility.

On Bumble For Friends, an AI-powered icebreaker feature assists users in starting conversations, reinforcing the app’s commitment to fostering meaningful connections across different relationship types.

Just like Hinge, Bumble wants to keep the AI tools in the background and not at the forefront. For moderation, the Bumble spokesperson told Mashable that the platform’s Deception Detector blocks 95 percent of identified spam, scam, or fake profiles automatically, according to internal testing.

To further safeguard users, Private Detector blurs potentially explicit images in chats, a feature Bumble has open-sourced to help combat online harassment. Additionally, the spokesperson says that the company has introduced an option for users to report AI-generated photos and videos as part of its "ongoing efforts to uphold authenticity."

Tinder

Tinder is using AI to streamline profiles, verify users, and encourage safer interactions. A spokesperson said the app’s Photo Selector scans a user’s camera roll to suggest profile pictures that align with what performs well on the platform. This addresses the fact that singles aged 18-24 spend an average of 33 minutes choosing a photo. According to Tinder’s data, men with multiple photos of their faces see a 71 percent increase in match likelihood with women.

Keep in mind that sharing your data with Tinder’s Photo Selector comes with some risks. A spokesperson told Mashable that the feature doesn’t store telemetry or biodata, but it does collect “limited” metadata. That said, it’s always a good rule of thumb to avoid handing over any biodata to a company — period.

To combat catfishing, Photo Verification requires users to submit a live video to confirm they match their uploaded photos, earning them the coveted blue check mark. A Tinder spokesperson noted that the feature has led to a 10 percent increase in matches for verified users aged 18-25.

AI is also shaping user interactions. Are You Sure? (AYS) scans messages for potentially harmful language and prompts senders to reconsider before hitting send. Early testing has already reduced inappropriate language by more than 10%.

Meanwhile, Does This Bother You? (DTBY) takes the opposite approach, proactively asking recipients if a flagged message feels inappropriate and guiding them through the reporting process. Both features, according to a Tinder spokesperson, are designed to create a more respectful environment while giving users more control over their conversations.

For the 50th anniversary special of SNL, current "Weekend Update" hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che took us on a journey through the segment's history — including appearances from some of its regulars over the years.

The Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started a Conversation with at a Party (Cecily Strong)! Drunk Uncle (Bobby Moynihan)!

Previous "Weekend Update" anchor Seth Meyers sat behind the desk again to interview Fred Armisen and Vanessa Bayer as Lorne's Best Friends from Growing Up (SNL creator and producer Lorne Michaels). Plus, Bill Murray made an appearance to rank his favourite "Weekend Update" anchors of all time

But let's talk about the elephant in the room — where's Bill Hader's Stefon? The iconic SNL cast member and all-time highlight of Weekend Update was notably missing from the lineup of cameos and guests at the special, reportedly declining to appear. He did reunite with fellow alumni Kristen Wiig and Armisen to bring back "The Californians," for a sponsored sketch released for the special in advance.

But we miss Stefon! How are we going to know which clubs to visit in 2025?

SNL legend Laraine Newman took a stroll through Studio 8H for the show's 50th anniversary special this week, but she wasn't alone. Pete Davidson's Chad just happened to be there, so he came along for the ride.

Newman was part of the original SNL cast when it began in 1975, alongside Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Jane Curtin, Gilda Radner, Garrett Morris, and Chevy Chase. As for Chad? He just works here, I guess.

Walking through NBC's iconic SNL studio, 8H, Newman gets nostalgic alongside Davidson's recurring idiot character, and it's a strangely moving sketch. Even when Chad gets naked.

Podcast preferences vary, but one experience is universal for many listeners: hearing about Helix mattresses in an ad break at least once per day. But if you've ever talked to someone you know who actually has a Helix mattress, you've likely been informed that they are, in fact, comfy as hell. Helix's Presidents' Day sale is a good time to try one for yourself — get 25% off any mattress, which start as low as $999 for a queen after the discount.

It's not the history lesson you expected, but it slaps.

For SNL's 50th anniversary special, Andy Samberg helps an anxious Bowen Yang to see that everyone on the show has had one thing in common over the years: anxiety. THROUGH SONG.

Somehow this sketch manages to be an absolute banger and a neat rundown of Saturday Night Live stars, including Samberg and Yang themselves. I'm gonna play it again.

UPDATE: Feb. 17, 2025, 5:00 a.m. EST This article has been updated with the latest mattress deals for Presidents' Day 2025.

Presidents' Day sales are here, offering awesome discounts on electronics, housewares, and something incredibly important to our wellbeing — mattresses. Presidents' Day sales in the mattress world tend to be some of the lowest prices available all year, which means this is an opportune time to upgrade.

While mattresses tend to incite an initial sticker shock reaction, they're important to our overall health. Our sleep quality impacts mood, cognition, the immune system, muscle recovery, and so much more. A good mattress offers comfort to lull you into a good night's rest while giving support to keep the spine and neck in proper ergonomic alignment.

SEE ALSO: Save up to $900 on a new mattress with the Purple Presidents' Day sale

You'll want to shop for a mattress that strikes this ideal balance between comfort and support. Since every sleeper has different preferences and ideal sleeping positions, choose a mattress that's designed for your particulars.

For example, side sleepers tend to sleep best with a mattress that offers a high amount of pressure-relief, supporting the hips and shoulders with no pain. Stomach sleepers might want something firmer to make sure the hips don't sink below the rest of the body.

If you tend to wake up with pains that weren't there when you went to bed or you can't remember the last time you slept on a new mattress, it's likely time for an upgrade. Shop these Presidents' Day mattress deals to score a big savings in price while ensuring you get restorative sleep each night.

Best mattress deal overall Opens in a new window Credit: Purple Purple Mattress (queen) $1,299.00 at Purple
$1,499.00 Save $200.00 Get Deal Why we like it

The Purple Mattress is unique in its use of the brand's GelFlex Grid. This two-inch layer is made with a hyper-elastic polymer that contours to the body. Boiled down, the material is great for relieving pressure and adding comfort. Since it's not a traditional foam material, it's also great for hot sleepers since its design allows for better airflow and it resists holding in heat.

Overall, the Purple Mattress has a medium-firm feel and includes a layer of the GelFlex Grid and two foam layers, in addition to a breathable cover. Plus, Purple offers a 100 night sleep trial, so you can sleep on the mattress in the comfort of your own bedroom for over three months to make sure it's the right bed for your sleep preferences.

Best organic mattress deal Opens in a new window Credit: Avocado Avocado Green Mattress (queen) $1,699.00 at Avocado
$1,999.00 Save $300.00 Get Deal Why we like it

The Avocado Green Mattress focuses on organic materials, and the brand carries the certifications you'd want to see when paying that premium. The Avocado Green Mattress uses organic wool, cotton, and latex to construct the bed, in addition to supportive steel coils. In addition to the benefits of organic materials, latex is considered one of the most durable and long-lasting mattress materials.

The Avocado Green Mattress is a great option for anyone looking for a cooling and breathable mattress, since the coils naturally allow for heat to escape from the mattress. The standard version of the Avocado Green has a firmer feel, which is nice for back and stomach sleepers. But those who like a more cushioned feel or side sleepers can upgrade to the Medium version which introduces a pillow top or go with the Plush option.

Great sleep doesn't have to cost thousands of dollars. If you're in a need of a new mattress that costs under $1,000, the Bear Original mattress in a queen size is on sale for just $649 during the brand's Presidents Day sale. The sale price also includes two free pillows for a whole bedroom refresh.

The all-foam Bear Original used three layers of foam support, with several layers focusing on breathability. The foam layers are designed to support to body while offering ergonomic alignment, making it less likely you'll wake up with neck, back, or hip pain. Bear considers the Bear Original to come with a medium-firm feel and it measures 10-inches in height.

Best bedroom-refresh deal Opens in a new window Credit: Nectar Nectar Classic Memory Foam Mattress (queen) + Accessories $649.00 at Nectar
$1,664.00 Save $1,015.00 Get Deal Why we like it

Nothing says spring more than a home refresh and if your mattress is over 10 years old, it's highly likely you need a new one. Since Presidents' Day sales offer some of the lowest prices of the year when it comes to mattresses, this is the perfect time to get an entirely new bedroom setup and the Nectar bundle offers an incredible deal. For just $649, the deal includes a queen-size Nectar Classic Memory Foam Mattress, two cooling pillows, a mattress protector, and a set of sheets. Typically, those items total $1,664 which means this bundle deal saves you over $1,000.

The Nectar Classic is an all-foam bed with three layers of foam, all below a cooling cover. The bed includes memory foam which is ideal for comfort and pressure relief. It's also one of the best materials for isolating motion, perfect if you share the bed with a partner who tosses and turns.

Another big benefit of shopping with Nectar is the brand's 365-night home trial for new mattresses which means you have an entire year to make sure you're truly sleeping well on the Nectar Classic.

Molly Shannon's SNL character Sally O’Malley returned to the stage during the show's 50th anniversary special this week, declaring, "I'm proud to say I'm 50 years old — just like Saturday Night Live!"

Shannon's iconic character, who has been proudly 50 since she first appeared during the comedian's time on SNL in the late '90s, early 2000s, joined Emma Stone during SNL50 to present a history of the show's legacy in physical comedy.

"Emma, she's not one of those gals who's afraid to tell her real age and she likes to KICK, STRETCH, and KICK!" said Sally.

Cue some serious kicking and stretching.

After poring over every single offer in Samsung's sale, which runs through March 1, I've rounded up the best offers in a list below. I've noted competing deals at other tech retailers if they've matched (or one-upped) any of my top picks — Best Buy and Amazon are definitely giving Samsung a run for its money, for what it's worth, so don't limit yourself to one retailer. I've also only included deals that don't require trade-ins, which can save you even more money if you're willing to fork over an old device.

$1,499.99 Save $600.00 Get Deal Why we like it

The 2024 edition of the internet's favorite "art piece when it's off" TV earned a Pantone Validated ArtfulColor certification, a first for The Frame series. Translation: Its colors look super realistic. The larger sizes (55 inches and up) can also switch from a 120Hz refresh rate to a 60Hz refresh rate when in Art Mode, making them more energy-efficient than previous iterations. During Samsung's Presidents' Day sale, the 55-inch model is on sale for just $899.99 — an impressive 40% discount on its $1,499.99 MSRP. (If you want to go slightly bigger, the 65-inch model is marked down to $1,299.99, or 35% off.) Shoppers have the option of bundling their TV with their choice of two soundbars or Samsung's Music Frame speaker for an additional savings of $50 to $200.

For comparison's sake, the 55-inch The Frame was on sale at Amazon for $2 less at the time of writing (bringing it to an all-time low), but those bundle options weren't available there.

$1,899.99 Save $300.00 Get Deal Why we like it

We haven't reviewed last year's Galaxy Z Fold6, but our sister site PCMag deemed it "the best foldable phone money can buy, thanks to its refined design, powerful internals, top-notch cameras, and superb screens." Compared to the previous-generation Galaxy Z Fold5 (which we did try and love), it's a tad thinner, lighter, brighter, matte instead of glossy, and equipped with a newer CPU. The base model with 256GB of storage is now on sale on Samsung's website for $1,599.99, or 16% off its $1,899.99 sticker price — a solid $300 savings. You can bump it up to 512GB of storage for $120 more.

Samsung's Presidents' Day deal is matched at Best Buy during its own holiday sale, but their available colorways differ. Samsung's exclusive white and crafted black finishes are the options it's discounted, while Best Buy has the standard navy, pink, and silver shadow variants on sale.

PCMag also has the scoop on Samsung's latest noise-cancelling earbuds, praising their "comfortable fit, quality sound, and clever AI features," but knocking their battery life and limited compatibility with iPhones. You won't be able to use all of their features if you don't have a Samsung phone, so I'd probably only consider them if you're already nestled in the brand's ecosystem (same as their predecessors). Available in silver and white, they're on sale for $199.99 during Samsung's Presidents' Day sale — a 20% discount.

Some important fine print: Amazon and Best Buy are both offering the same deal, and the latter will give you an extra $10 off if you're a paid My Best Buy (Plus or Total) member.

While Black Friday is undoubtedly the best time of the year to score epic streaming deals, it's not the only time. With Presidents' Day finally here, we're keeping our eyes on our favorite streamers to round up any deals that pop up. Fortunately, a few have landed.

Sure, these deals aren't technically labeled Presidents' Day streaming deals, but they're around for a limited time around the holiday, so why not call them what they are? The prices aren't quite as good as Black Friday season, but a deal is a deal. If you're looking to sign up for a new streamer this winter, snag these subscriptions before they disappear.

If any more streaming deals surface, we'll be sure to update this with the latest additions. For now, here are all the best Presidents' Day streaming deals live.

Best Presidents' Day streaming deal Opens in a new window Credit: Peacock Peacock Premiuim $29.99 for one year with code WINTERSAVINGS (save 63%) Get Deal

Through Feb. 18, new and returning subscribers can sign up for an entire year of Peacock Premium (the tier with ads) for only $29.99 instead of $79.99 with the code WINTERSAVINGS. That's 63% in savings and undeniably the best streaming deal we've seen since Black Friday. Peacock is, in my humble opinion, the most slept-on streaming service around. Not only is it home to modern classic TV shows like New Girl, The Office, and Parks and Recreation, but also Peacock Originals that are definitely worth watching — including Poker Face, Based on a True Story, Love Island USA, and We Are Lady Parts. And because it's owned by NBC Universal, it's also where you'll find theatrical releases like Conclave, The Wild Robot, and Twisters. At just $30 for the whole year — only about $2.50 per month — it's practically a no-brainer.
