For the first time in 52 seasons, Saturday Night Live gave the hosting job to an internet star, and Brad, Nate, and Ben are here to decide whether it worked. Druski, the comedian behind Coulda Been Records and years of viral sketches, makes his hosting debut, and The Strokes return as musical guest for the fifth time.
The guys go sketch by sketch through the 1,013th episode in the show’s history, the first since the midterms. It opens with Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries celebrating until Trump, JD Vance, and Pete Hegseth crash the party, and then Senator-elect James Talarico walks in as himself. Emma Stone drops by the monologue and finds out she’s apparently Druski’s love interest. From there:
- A BET panel that can’t decide whether Sherrod Brown is white
- “Dru Can See Everything,” an Elizabeth Holmes documentary parody with Druski in full blond wig
- A Dominican phone store with Marcello Hernández
- A birthday girl who orders her whole table to stay silent while she’s in the restroom
- A fitness tracker that’s really just the guy on the corner
- A marriage proposal where the band celebrates a “yes” that never came
- Wedding photographers who take it way too far
- Lenny & The Street Smart Crew closing out the night
Plus, Weekend Update brings Jeremy Culhane’s Elon Musk and the return of Two People Who Just Hooked Up.
John Mulaney returns next week for his seventh time as host. But first, let’s talk Druski.
