Host Quinta Brunson , musical guest Benson Boone , and the SNL cast and writers welcomed viewers back with a return show that strike severely .
FromJames Austin Johnson ’s Donald Trump celebrating his first 100 day with another rhythm of executive order , to hostQuinta Brunsonoffering a look at the tragical ( and masochistic ) spirit and times of leave out boxing caption Jerry " Jackrabbit " Tulane , there was a whole draw to like ( if not get it on ) about this weekend ’s return episode of NBC’sSaturday Night Live . We had an opening monologue that turned into a musical number honour unforesightful folk ( withSabrina Carpenter , Marcello Hernandez , andDwayne Wade ) , a mint of 31 - year - old women feeling seen , " Weekend Update " anchorsColin JostandMichael Chegoing all - in on the cringe ( and we like it ) , and melodious guestBenson Booneliving up to his hoopla and boast past it with two incredible execution . If it ’s sounding like we do n’t have any complaints , you would be right . Everything strike to vary degrees – no misses – during what was an excellent return show . Here ’s a look at the five sketches that stuck out the most :
" Will and Todd ’s Radical Experience " : Harriet Tubman ( Brunson ) and Frederick Douglass ( Kenan Thompson ) make it clear to a duo of " Bill & Ted " wannabes ( Andrew Dismukes , Marcello Hernández ) that they ’re more than ok staying where they are in the present . Brunson and Thompson make this sketch pop , so much so that we found ourselves laughing at a " Bill & Ted " sketch in 2025 .
" OnlySeniors " : Once again , Brunson and Thompson refulgency ( we require to see more of them together ) as an elderly twosome excuse the details of their very unique life insurance policy to their kid ( Ego Nwodim , Devon Walker ) . They continue win over even as the details got a snatch more graphic , and props to Nwodim and Walker for volunteer great response for them to put to work off of .
" Ferry Altercation " : Brunson vs. Mikey Day , Round II . Our highly creative and very agitated drivers are back , withChloe Finemanriding shotgun as Day ’s seemingly very experienced girl and Thompson as Brunson ’s father . Anticipating how each of them is going to " charades " what they ’re saying is deserving the price of admission alone , with Brunson displaying some not bad facial reactions that heightened the laugh .
" Two Bitches vs. a Gorilla " : A twisted take on the current " Who would win between 100 military man and a gorilla ? " societal medium public debate , the abusdity of it all was anchored by the squad - up we were hope to see . Brunson and Nwodim ’s characters have black swath when it comes to verbal beatdowns , and the two played off of one another with rest . take over they survive the finish ( tombstones do n’t mean anything , good ? ) , we ’re hoping for a paying back sojourn . Maybe " Two Bitches vs. Trump " ?
" Weekend Update : Two Applebee ’s Barflies Darlene and Duke " : effortless dining franchises are hurting , and Applebee ’s barflies Darlene and Duke ( Bowen Yang , Sarah Sherman ) are n’t happy about it . SNL ’s " Weekend Update " has always been known for possess some great mould members flap out some great character to offer comment . But in terms of SNL throw away members who have consistently extend firecracker after banger fictional character - impertinent , season after time of year , it ’s Yang and Sherman . Bonus points to Yang for dropping " Fudd - raggot " mid - skeetch and then following it up with some fun"clean - up . "
