Saturday Night Live and Suburgatory star Ana Gasteyer signed up for Twitter in August. She loves it — "it's a fantastic way to connect with your specific weird following," she told me — but there's a problem: Twitter won't verify her account. No matter what she does. (Update below.)

TV's favorite sexy uncle (ew? ew) is getting back in the leading man saddle. Also today: good news for Ana Gasteyer, godly news for Miley Cyrus, and Game of Thrones news for the rest of us dorks.

What subject can years of SNL's female players agree is funny? The Real Housewives franchise! Andy Cohen moderates the reunion show that kicked off last night's two-hour retrospective called The Women of SNL. Tina Fey as Danielle Staub, inside!

As Kenan Thompson listed off the names reuniting on tonight's Women of SNL special, there was only one that Martha Stewart seemed interested in: Ana Gasteyer. It seems like Gasteyer's impersonation of Stewart still irks her all these years later.

Tonight's the night! Betty White is hosting SNL and, as expected, she's killing it. An instant classic from the episode? White—along with Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon—in a hilarious "Delicious Dish" sketch about her famous "muffin." Video inside.

The saddest news for Michaela Watkins and Casey Wilson isn't that they are out of jobs on Saturday Night Live. It's that they're entering the tradition of the show's women who are never heard from again. Jan Hooks, anyone?

Kimora Lee Simmons has good reason to munch on some cupcakes today. It's her 34th birthday. Given the events of the past year, former AIG chief Hank Greenberg probably isn't in the mood to celebrate, but it's his 84th birthday all the same. Others turning a year older today: Comedian Will Arnett is 39. Lance Bass is turning 30. Columnist George Will is turning 68. Actor Richard Jenkins is 62. Former SNL castmember Ana Gasteyer is turning 42. ESPN reporter Erin Andrews turns 31. Pia Zadora is 55. Gallerist Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn is 42. And two of the city's top lawyers, Ed Herlihy and Paul Roth are turning 62 and 70, respectively.

For all its success on paper, Saturday Night Live is essentially making its pop-culture bones these days with an ex-cast member imitating a woman who might be completely irrelevant in six weeks. But some phenomena never expire, and when you combine the enduring miracle of Alec Baldwin with the current, overriding stench of economic recession, one SNL highlight alone stands out today for its chemistry and prescience: Reliable Investments, featuring Baldwin as a broker with all the answers for Ana Gasteyer. But really, in a climate like this, how many answers do we really want? Just take Baldwin's word for it after the jump: It's a great day to invest! [NBC via Videogum]Click to view
