- Another problem with the show is how it deals with the immediacy of social media. A lot of the jokes it made have already played out on Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok. “Rooftop Bar,” the second segment of the night that focused on men’s inability to respectively or coherently communicate with women, was somehow more of a failure than the first. Even in bad ones like “Charmin Bears” and “Send Something Normal,” he manages to find some level of humor. Best sketch of the night It was pointless, almost exclusively relying on fecal humor and played-out family dynamics, and the climax appeared to just be Teller and Bowen Yang dancing in bear costumes.

If you missed last night’s episode, Decider’s here to provide you with all the necessary SNL next-day streaming info you need. Here’s how to watch the season premiere of Saturday Night Live online.

The comedy show returns with a large portion of its cast gone and a patchy series of skits poking fun at Nicole Kidman, BeReal and Herschel Walker.

The final sketch of the night, Caribbean Queens, is a resort and spa talk show hosted by two fun-loving, hard drinking and Billy Ocean-obsessed gals (Ego Nwodim and Heidi Gardner). His family is overcome with pride and joy, only to be crushed when Toby reveals that he doesn’t want to earn a BFA (Bachelor of Flushing Arts), but that he wants to dance instead. At the swanky Cloud Bar, Teller and Day star as day traders looking to pick up “two fineys”. A commercial for Charmin sees the family of blue, bathroom-obsessed bears take a break from celebrating their beloved toiletries when son Toby gets a letter of acceptance from Toilet Paper College and (or TCP). They utterly eviscerate a run-of-the-mill Trump/Mar-a-Lago sketch (“Never seen that before,” Peyton scoffs), running it down for its smugness, clumsiness, “desperate reach for relevancy”, and “gratuitous stunt casting” (Sean White shows up, as does Jon Hamm to jaw with Teller over who the bigger celebrity is between them). It is probably too much to hope this is any kind of mission statement moving forward, but hey, the first step to recovery is admitting you’ve got a problem.

(“Oh, so there’s no posturing and it’s not status-oriented,” an understanding Teller says.) The catch is that neither the thieves nor their hostages can resist when a BeReal alert goes off during the crime in progress. “It’s a surprising fumble from the veteran Yang,” Dismukes said. Instead, the spoof — called “Send Something Normal” — was hosted by Teller, who offered the participants $100 million if they could provide a normal reply to a woman’s DM on Instagram. The way the series has survived is by that level of renewal.” Eight veteran cast members left “S.N.L.” ahead of this weekend’s broadcast, starting with McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, Pete Davidson and Kyle Mooney, who all “A political impression that no one asked for,” Teller said.
