Brad, Nate, and Ben break down the October 3, 2026, episode of Saturday Night Live, the 1,010th episode in the show's history, hosted by Dakota Johnson in her third turn.
We kick things off with the Republican midterm ads cold open and Mikey Day as Mitch McConnell. Then we cover Johnson’s monologue with Taylor Swift’s surprise cameo, Press Your Luck, the pre-taped sketches Mean, Scary Girlfriend, and Guns for Women, plus Hospital Gossip, Throne of the Dragonborne, Get Ready With Me, and a quick 10-to-1 sketch called Amazing Tales of Truth.
Weekend Update gets a lot of attention this week. It was the longest segment in over ten seasons and featured Mikey Day and Marcello Hernández as Link and Jason, Kam Patterson talking about the Glee reboot, and Sarah Sherman as matchmaker Debbie Mush. We also preview Shane Gillis hosting next week.
Whether you’re a seasoned Saturday Night Live fan or just stopping by, thanks for listening!
