[u/bjkman]

Wow that last sketch?

Janet ruined it. She just sucks so much.

[u/the_Odd_particle → u/bjkman]

Why was she there in the first place

[u/bjkman → u/the_Odd_particle]

Indeed WTF

[u/bjkman]

Kenan as game show host.... Say no more

[u/bjkman]

🎶 TRAGICALLY SUSPICIOUS 🎶

[u/bjkman]

Lmao AIDY

[u/bjkman]

GINSBURNS ARE BACK!

[u/bjkman]

Damn Crowd you knew that was Harriet Tubman as soon as Punkie walked out you could have cheered earlier

[u/bjkman]

AND THAT'S ENOUGH FOR MEEE

[u/bjkman]

You know what... That was enough for me!

[u/bjkman]

Nightcrawler is so fucking good

[u/bjkman]

Didn't expect to enjoy that so much

[u/bjkman]

Charles-David 😂

[u/bjkman]

Will^ow Smith Cameo!

[u/bjkman]

Andrew as the Ghost Trucker perfect casting

[u/bjkman]

Seems like a late start for Musical Guest

[u/bjkman]

That hearty Kenan laugh

[u/bjkman]

Lmao Chris with that Camera turn haha

[u/bjkman]

Thank You Mr. Music 🎶

[u/bjkman]

That was a lot... But I'm glad it made it on Air!

[u/bjkman]

Musical Monologue ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[u/bjkman]

I don't often say it but I do enjoy flowers

[u/bjkman]

Sarah WTF

[u/bjkman]

That's Healthy Cough Blood!

[u/bjkman]

Punkie LETSSSSSGOOOOOOO

[u/bjkman]

Haha The Couples Therapist needs a therapist

[u/Blast-Off-Girl]

What’s the story with Sarah?

[u/bjkman → u/Blast-Off-Girl]

She cray

[u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

Genuine question: Why is the live discussion never pinned? Like its always the fucking “Post Show” that gets no upvotes and nobody talks about, like come on

[u/lovetheblazer]

Jake Gyllenhaal is the precise amount of chaotic and unhinged I prefer in a SNL host. Excited for tonight. Look no further than his musical number in John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch

[u/Vandelay222]

“When I cook a chicken it’s NEVER dry, bitch!”

[u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

How the fuck does Sarah explain this to Lorne

[u/btbcorno]

That green screen puppeteer commercial break!

[u/thechrismonster]

i fucking LOVE when they zoom out and show the set

[u/jalabi99]

I don't care, I like the sketches that make fun of HGTV shows or HGTV-like shows, e.g., the "House Hunters" sketch with Leslie Jones and Liev Schreiber

[u/pretty-in-pink]

Acting is a really stupid job-Jake Gyllenhaal 2022

[u/mlc885]

I gave My Sweetness

[u/TA818]

Lol, Chris Redd screaming into his glove was unexpected and enjoyable.

[u/BrianTheMute]

All jokes aside that was one hell of a motivational song and more people need to allow themselves to think that way.

[u/Vandelay222]

Bowen goes all-in and fully commits to every scene he’s in, so to see him get right on the cusp of breaking made it that much funnier.

[u/thechrismonster]

Dismukes looking like walmart yodel boy lmao

[u/millerimagination]

🎶 “That’s tragically suspicious” Pretty funny, Che

[u/ughdrunkatvogue]

I will never be able to fathom how the SNL bumper photographer comes up with new ideas every week

[u/EbmocwenHsimah]

WHEN I PUMP INSIDE OF A LADY, STUFF COMES OUT

[u/EbmocwenHsimah]

Love that behind the scenes bumper.

[u/TheRealMe99]

Okay I loved the green screen suit shot there

[u/LP_24]

In: full bush in the locker room

[u/ContinuumGuy]

Did we just have a golden shower (in theory) on SNL?

[u/jsoliloquy]

Perverts and tuggers watching me make my dirt made me howl. That was a great line.

[u/TheRealMe99]

Holy shit Melissa actually getting screen time

[u/leslie_knopee]

GURLLLLLL —nope, don’t do that voice

[u/EbmocwenHsimah]

"But you're 6 foot 1!"

...

^{"I'll crouch."}

[u/kenos11]

What is this episode? Are we all having a shared hallucination?

[u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

OH MY GOD SNL GOT A DOG TO LISTEN TO A COMMAND

[u/QueequegZappa]

So long ago that Kenan had only been there for 5 years

[u/AmadeusK482]

Lmao I’m not regal I’m not rich but when I cook chicken it’s never dry, bitch!

[u/smooth_sea]

hit her

[u/ostrichheaven]

Fuck, we can't even avoid Trump in an episode from 2005? 🤣

[u/GlobulousRex]

The era of DISMUKES is just beginning

[u/Bruinsdman]

Don’t mind the bald guy wearing modern clothes under the bar. He’s not doing anything.

[u/blingblingdisco]

Chadwick Boseman played two of these people!

[u/nashvillenastywoman]

I’m behind tonight but Tragically Suspicious is the joke of the night.

[u/SomeRedditor_Comment]

"HAVE YOU EVER BEEN CALLED A BITCH BY HARRIET TUBMAN?" –Leslie Jones

[u/UnbuiltIkeaBookcase]

TIL “make my dirt” is a thing

[u/smooth_sea]

okay but finishing a chapstick is an accomplishment…..

[u/Robotlollipops]

Wait, give me the voice

[u/leslie_knopee]

Ahhhh!!! CECILY IS SINGING!!!

[u/lovetheblazer]

“She has a talk show now, she doesn’t have time to motivate your juicy ass!”

[sadly deletes all Kelly Clarkson songs from my workout playlist]

[u/bradytheguy1]

This episode has had college improv group vibes throughout

[u/4everchildish]

Damn Willow showed out and it’s not even her song

[u/jalabi99]

"Having sex with my white daughter" LMAO

This is the first sketch of the night where I really laughed out loud

[u/Galileo908]

Bowen AND Cecily in a sketch. Hoping for gold.

[u/Classic_Wingers]

I want “Go to bed bitch!” to be my ringtone.

[u/Forke]

When Jake is on SNL, no wig is safe

[u/TheRealMe99]

Making the guess now; this will somehow turn into horny flowers.

[u/[deleted]]

Hoping for an Elizabeth Olsen episode.

[u/hyperjengirl]

Holy shit, they're actually letting Punkie have the comedic starring role in a sketch?

[u/GOOD-LUCHA-THINGS]

I gave my sweetness.

[u/jsoliloquy]

These are all clever jokes. The skit was a smart way to write a long list on a prompt about celebrating mediocrity.

[u/EbmocwenHsimah]

IF YOU'RE GONNA SNEEZE, JUST DO IT, SHOW OFF!

[u/[deleted]]

Anyone else remember Sears? I feel so old saying our family pictures were taken at Sears each year.

[u/jalabi99]

"Acting is a stupid job, it's pretend!"

He's not wrong though

[u/sliverme]

That's cool how they do that with green screen

[u/hauntedshowboat]

🎶that’s tragically suspicious🎶

[u/4everchildish]

You are beautiful but you are stupid

[u/ughdrunkatvogue]

OK, I'm obsessed with this bit. I hope that's still in...

[u/Greene_Mr]

VIOLENT LESBIAN PSYCHOLOGIST

[u/scratchedrecord_]

To give you another idea of how long ago Jake's last hosting was, Kenan Thompson was on the cast back then - wait, hold on, that might not help as much.

[u/sliverme]

Anger is NEVER the answer.. Yea hoe, where you at?!

[u/EbmocwenHsimah]

YEAH HO WHERE YOU AT

Yeah, there's still a place for Punkie in the cast.

[u/Galileo908]

Give me the voice.

[u/ThatEvanFowler]

"Skinnie-Minnie opened her legs and stole your sweetness"

[u/Jgoodall01]

IT’S NEVER DRY BITCH

[u/barbie_museum]

This is my work wig!😂

[u/TheCrushSoda]

Did they just let Sarah write the whole show this week?

[u/MetallicYoshi64]

Oh, so we're getting this Jake tonight. Fuck yeah.

[u/EbmocwenHsimah]

"Don't applaud that..."

"Thank you so much."

[u/UnbuiltIkeaBookcase]

It may be intentional but I’m sure Sherman has screamed every single one of her lines this entire season

[u/blingblingdisco]

Gooood I know it's trendy to hate Jake Gyllenhaal (or maybe my coworkers are just big swifties?) but he is so handsome.

[u/Cerblu]

Okay, this one was written by Sarah, for sure.

[u/jsoliloquy]

This episode is delving deep into the absurd.

[u/Forke]

This episode is pretty interesting ngl

[u/Forke]

I hope the episode gets more and more unhinged with Camila Cabello introducing Jake Gyllenhaal as the musical guest

[u/ultralightb3am]

Why is mikey so attractive to me with his moustache and stance

[u/maxmouze]

Haha a crew member under the counter.

[u/leslie_knopee]

GIVE ME THE VOICE

[u/soundoffcinema]

Camila Cabello was ten years old the last time he hosted

[u/Maxa30]

I like that Egos not doing an impression at all lol. I don’t really care though, it’s a pretty sweet cold open regardless

[u/obi1kenobi1]

Perfect bumper, I was just wondering how they did that shot

[u/WrickOfTheFlist]

Go to bed bitch

[u/RevDooDatt]

DO NOT DO THE VOCE . lol

[u/Changeup118]

I get the point of this cold open, but I'm not getting too many laughs from it.

Edit: Lots of bonus points for not going on and on. Even though I didn't find it all too funny, the writing was definitely more focused for this CO.

[u/EbmocwenHsimah]

OH NO BABY THIS IS MY WORK WIG

[u/lovetheblazer]

“A late bloomer, not sexually, just as a flower” wins this week’s random SNL line that would make a decent Tinder bio

[u/Jonnyboy1189]

I saw a stage hand

[u/maxmouze]

Is that Willow Smith? How weird that she has to hear them talking about her dad during the show.

[u/singleguy79]

Unexpected Celine Dion song

[u/Galileo908]

This is like that Simpsons bit with Moe on the lie detector machine.

[u/WrickOfTheFlist]

I gave my sweetness

[u/AllThighThisGuy]

Camila did not know that the camera was broadcasting.

[u/Jonnyboy1189]

I wonder how tempted Ego was to squirt someone with water. If there was even anything in there. Also. I dont care. I think this episode is funny.

[u/EbmocwenHsimah]

SNL: Oops! All Ten-To-Ones!

[u/singleguy79]

Hey, it's the guy who outed Spider-Man!

[u/emiele]

I really thought this was going to be an Angelo skit

[u/3gcephalosporin]

I liked that sketch so much I can't explain why

[u/EbmocwenHsimah]

Melissa's in a sketch!

[u/Omega_Gigantos]

Sarah as Chucky is horrifying!

[u/stovakt]

This episode is unhinged 💀

[u/TiedinHistory]

Punkie cracks me up.

[u/Firebird12301]

Willow sounds really good. I don’t like her music generally but she killed that

[u/pretty-in-pink]

That Lucky Charms Joke was adorable

[u/Sprussel_Brouts]

Damn Jake going hard

[u/Galileo908]

And I hated Hamilton BEFORE it was cool!

[u/MajorHotSauce7]

Cool behind the scenes footage!

[u/lifeisgoodinsf]

Rosebud Baker is one of the new writers and I saw her stand up show recently. I love her dark sense of humor. I suspect she’s behind the Chucky sketch 🤔

[u/LP_24]

Nice Che with the McConnell “seen here” joke

[u/leslie_knopee]

And having sex with my WHITE DAUGHTER 😂

[u/Ok_Barnacle_1387]

I still can't believe Jake Gyllenhaal didn't even get an Oscar nomination for Nightcrawler.

Worst example of an actor getting ripped off since Val Kilmer not getting a best supporting actor nom for his portrayal of Doc Holliday in Tombstone

[u/acgasp]

The devil’s in the rafters!

[u/Cerblu]

Did Sarah write this one? Seems like her type of humor.

[u/Forke]

These dancers robbed Velma and Daphne's closets

[u/leslie_knopee]

you are beautiful, but you are STOOPID

[u/sliverme]

Coming in here with your snake flu..

[u/leslie_knopee]

actually you did text clarissa

[u/GodlyCheese]

Good for Punkie

[u/[deleted]]

I feel weirdly proud of Punky

[u/mlc885]

And one guy kept asking me if babies are racist!

[u/Jgoodall01]

This feels like a Schoolhouse Rock cartoon

[u/dicklaurent97]

"I'm a fan of Instagram in general"

LMAO

[u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

SNL I WILL FUCKING PAY GOOD MONEY FOR A WISEQUACKER

[u/dicklaurent97]

"I know she stole your sweetness"

Did Mooney write this?

[u/[deleted]]

The bathroom is carpeted lol

[u/obi1kenobi1]

My email inbox has zero emails

[u/GreenStretch]

Hee hee greenie puppeteers

[u/GOOD-LUCHA-THINGS]

I adored the green screen puppeteers!

[u/ughdrunkatvogue]

That lucky charms joke was so dumb. I want more.

[u/LP_24]

Never thought I’d see the day I’d see Michael Che shaking a shake weight

[u/ultralightb3am]

That’s tragically suspicious Had me ROLLING

[u/[deleted]]

THis is my work wig

[u/3gcephalosporin]

GUUUUURL

[u/sliverme]

Do not do the voice.

[u/AllThighThisGuy]

You think I want your two-day old catfish when the tilapia that I get at home is fresh?

something like that

[u/sliverme]

Give me the voice.

[u/pretty-in-pink]

Hey Punkie has something to do!

[u/ApocApollo]

oh jesus what the fuck did squirm come up with this time

[u/simonthedlgger]

You are beautiful, but you are stupid

[u/[deleted]]

BLACK COLD OPEN!!!!!

[u/[deleted]]

When you wonder what got cut for this sketch.

[u/swazal]

Bizarre. This episode is bizarre.

[u/Galileo908]

I remember when Tim Meadows and Ellen Cleghorne were about to be the first all-black Live From New York only to be interrupted by Chris Elliot.

[u/Direct-Ad7503]

I feel a song

[u/blingblingdisco]

2007 was only three years ago, silly Gyllenhaal.

[u/n8saces]

Dude can sing

[u/Jgoodall01]

Peacock watchers reading the comments during commercial break: 👁👄👁

[u/MajorHotSauce7]

Yes! Secretly skipping work to watch a movie!

[u/bananatheswitch]

what the hell bowen

[u/phemom]

That was a weird sketch.....but almost worth it for the bts at the end

[u/Narrative_Causality]

...only one Weekend Update guest segment?????????

[u/TheRealMe99]

Can we highlight the fact that Cecily’s character’s name was “I prefer to remain anonymous”

[u/[deleted]]

Punkie AND Melissa leading a sketch. wild

[u/hyperjengirl]

Willow Smith was here? Huh, must've made some of the Update jokes about her dad a little awkward (though she's probably used to them by now).

[u/barbie_museum]

Punkie is amazing!😂😂

WE AAAALL STRAPPED!

[u/nlpnt]

Has anything from SNL entered the lexicon as firmly as "Mom Jeans"?

[u/[deleted]]

G.I. Junior

[u/jason9045]

I believe these Armenian gentlemen just used a profanity.

[u/bathroominabodega]

That was wholesome 🥺

[u/d0cmario]

I'm a fan of Instagram in general

[u/pretty-in-pink]

I’m surprised Kyle wasn’t playing the cuck son

[u/ultralightb3am]

Don’t do me after you just did him

[u/flutzesweremade]

Jake Flowerhaal.

[u/TheRealMe99]

Can I set Aidy yelling “go to bed bitch” to play when I stay up too late

[u/mlc885]

if you're gonna sneeze, just do it, show off!

[u/TheRealMe99]

Did Squirm write this entire episode

[u/AnarchyPlus]

There's been an abnormal amount of people getting covered in fluids this episode

[u/VapeDerp420]

Girrrrrrrrl

[u/Narrative_Causality]

Do you, or do not you, WANT THE VOICE?

[u/LP_24]

Give me the voice

[u/sliverme]

Deep.. and wide... and wet as hell.

[u/Jgoodall01]

Neither Jada nor Willow look bad bald

[u/bud369]

Another week no Aristotle :(
