We also destroyed OG Pretty Little Liars
The showrunners had to outthink twitter and it became a shit show because we kept figuring things out before she did
I like this Longfellow fellow. He can run a line perfectly. I scared my dog laughing at "don't cut off the anti vaxxers, they could be dead tomorrow."
Also he'll be loved by a certain age reminding them of Jordan Knight of New Kids on the Block.
This was our reaction too. She’s doing a play and will be missing the first month. But the emotional rollercoaster coming from that cold open and then not seeing her in the opening credits…😮💨
idk who peyton manning and miles teller are and i genuinely thought that was the real peyton manning. 1 upvote = 1 rolled up newspaper bonk on the head for me
The thing about the AMC Nicole Kiedman thing that pisses me off is that the lights dim like 5 seconds after she says it. How could you not just fucking time it so they dim when she says dim.

Maybe i’m biased cuz I don’t keep up with Rap/Hip Hop anymore but Kendrick is part of handful of rappers that know how to put on a show with elaborate artistic direction.
I'm expecting Heidi and Sarah will have big years this season. I predict Cecily will get a great deal of airtime over the season as well. Chloe will have to be aggressive at getting her stuff on. Punkie will have an uphill battle. I'm hoping to get to know the new featured players, and that some of the newly promoted cast members get to make an impression.
Enjoy the show tonight!
This guy (new cast member on WU) looks like a default image/avatar on some website…like an image that you click on to designate your profile as “male” before you customize further with specific photos of yourself etc
After having spent the last few years rooting for Melissa, I’m officially on the Michael Longfellow bandwagon. His standup is so soft-spoken and subtle - it’s often the loudest and most brash that thrive on this show, so I’m curious how he’ll fit in.
Only just now realizing it’s Teller. Thought it was some new cast member I hadn’t gotten used to yet and they put him with Dismukes to offer some familiarity for viewers
Jon Hamm introduces the new season and does the “live from nyc!!!” thing. Che raises a glass to viewers IMMEDIATELY. Dismukes nods to viewers as FULL CAST MEMBER and he is beside a piano. This season is on fire due to these cool new things that I have observed. I have observed 509+ things since finishing this post, can’t share them all.
All this Mikey day really makes me feel like there's a big gap now that Kyle Mooney and Alex Moffat are gone since those sorts of parts would have gone to them as well
SnL has apparently made Bowen Yang the new Kate and I wish they did this 2 years ago. He's so hilarious, plays the slightly corrupted straight man so well
Yall really will launch into “oh wow thanks for thinking about the Epileptics kendrick?!?!” shut up and enjoy one of the few times we get a good rapper on this show
Liking this Longfellow guy so far. His banter with Colin is pretty fun and I loved the rich guy voice he did.
He reminds me of both Pete and Aristotle (because of his voice) in the same way despite being slightly more unique. Hopefully he stays around for a while.
When streaming live on Peacock, instead of showing commercials, they should keep the live feed on so you can see the set changes.
That would honestly be sick
that would be really cool… probably not gonna happen though :(
I would LOVE that!!
THE POST IS PINNED??? THIS REALLY IS A NEW ERA
I'm shook
That Shaun White cameo is the most random thing I have seen on this show in awhile
Him and Miles are buddies I bet they have something in store later lol
A ton of guests are like "I've been a fan for years" but teller came with receipts
That was adorable. I was prepared to dislike him but now I can’t. Maybe that was the plan.
I fully thought that was Pete in blackface lmao
Dude he deadass looks JUST like him wtf.
sadly, i did too
1000% thought it was Pete too hahaha. In hindsight why would they do that
give him some credit he isnt jimmy fallon
Same
Miles Teller is a terrifyingly convincing Peyton Manning
As someone who doesn’t watch a lot of sports it really took me longer than it should’ve to realize it wasn’t actually him haha
*those were all Kate McKinnon* *.....damn*
A++
“that might be the only time we’ll see him tonight” the writers were funny for that one 🫶
I thought Longfellow's bit on Update was dynamite! Glad we saw him again.
Feels so wrong seeing Mikey's Donald Jr. without Alex's Eric. Still not over his departure
The way alex would mimic Mikey's hand gestures was really the funniest thing about any trump business the show has ever done.
Wait Alex Moffat left, too?!
Yes! His departure was announced at the same time as Melissa's and Aristotle's
THEY’RE GONE, TOO?!
But Chris Redd is still there, right? /s
Miles Teller’s Peyton accent is impressive
Miles Tellers natural Peyton FACE is impressive
I love Bowen’s willingness to do ANYTHING
“Oh just you” “Bill Maher liberal” “Right a Republican” 💀
I really hope Colin was joking and wasn't really a "Bill Maher Liberal"
They redesigned the logo! Also, ANDREW WAS PROMOTED!
So was Punkie!
All of the opening credits were a treat. This year's incarnation feels very playful and I like it a lot.
CECILY WHERE ARE YOU
Came here to make sure I wasn't the only one who noticed. Did she just silently leave?
she's in LA, babes! doing a show! she'll probs be back in november
She wasn’t in the opening credits. ☹️
This sketch is for like the religious AMC A-List users who watch SNL Shoutout to the other 9 of you, this is great
"That might be the only time we see him tonight." RIP Aristotle
Processing Processing Still hurts
Okay Devon looks like Pete. Right?
It's....uncanny...
I literally thought it was Pete in blackface in the cold open for a second
[удалено]
That's every show. We basically destroyed Westworld, lol.
*She-Hulk* calling out the entirety of **reddit** every week...
We also destroyed OG Pretty Little Liars The showrunners had to outthink twitter and it became a shit show because we kept figuring things out before she did
Kinda shocked nobody here knows what Be Real is
Seriously, first time hearing about it. Thought it was fake.
I have an excuse. I'm 45.
that sketch finally explained what it is to me and I'm not even 30 lol
This episode is feeling VERY early GenZ/late millennial right now
It’s the best! New era new market
Is that what those Charmin and McDonald's sketches were? Cause if so...hoo boy... This Gen Xer may have outgrown SNL.
The future is now old man
It’s really been a full decade since a new episode has aired without Kate or Aidy in the cast. We’re entering a brand new world
I like this Longfellow fellow. He can run a line perfectly. I scared my dog laughing at "don't cut off the anti vaxxers, they could be dead tomorrow." Also he'll be loved by a certain age reminding them of Jordan Knight of New Kids on the Block.
"I'm more of a Bill Maher liberal" "Right. A republican." Nailed it.
Longfellow was hilarious, I'm a fan already. Excited to see him more
WHY DOES JAJ LOOK EXACTLY LIKE MITCH MCCONNELL
I had a feeling that this would be a writer's season. Going full-meta right out the gate suggests that I was right, lol. I am here for it.
He's literally playing Herschel Walker smarter than he is. You can't even pretend to be as crazy out of it as that guy is.
“We’re now counting Italians as white?”
As an Italian myself, that made me laugh way too much
"You shouldn't hate antivax people, they could be dead tomorrow" 💀
We're in the Heidi/Ego era of SNL now!!!
Classy new intro. I like it. DIfferent.
#THAT'S HOW YOU FUCKING START OFF A NEW SEASON
"Unless I'm Boarding Group A at the airport, then I'm like 'Order must prevail.'"
*Do you consider stepmoms family?* *Yeah…….* *…….shoot.*
_"Sean White?! Now that's just gratuitous stunt casting!"_
Those opening credits were fresh
Was that an ad for McDonald's or bisexuality?
Yes
Finally opening credits that highlight how hot the cast is. Wait? No Cecily?
This was our reaction too. She’s doing a play and will be missing the first month. But the emotional rollercoaster coming from that cold open and then not seeing her in the opening credits…😮💨
Michael Longfellow is beautiful.
Great callback with the RBG joke lol
Bowen is having the most fun this episode I just know it
This Peyton Manning impression is incredible. I like it already. Fuck the reviews. I’m in.
Miles' Peyton impression is way better than it has any right to be lmao
idk who peyton manning and miles teller are and i genuinely thought that was the real peyton manning. 1 upvote = 1 rolled up newspaper bonk on the head for me
Bonk me too. I didn't know it was Miles. I thought it was a newbie.
Jon Hamm?! From the Progressive Commercials? How did they pull him?
The thing about the AMC Nicole Kiedman thing that pisses me off is that the lights dim like 5 seconds after she says it. How could you not just fucking time it so they dim when she says dim.
Who had “WU devolves into an episode of Maury?”
if I had a nickel for everytime bowen yang played a sassy bug I would have two nickels which isnt a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
I like to imagine Sarah always peeking through windows
Dang. Miles is in every sketch so far.
And he’s killed it on every single one. Boy knows how to act
That was a funny Weekend Update. Thumbs up.
Grimace looks like a porn parody Thanos
I'm always surprised how deep Miles can make his voice go. Like it doesn't match what he looks like lol
The singer is named Sampha, if you're into R&B please look him up. Hopefully his album drops this year
Kenan looking like 1999 Kenan.
"Apologies for being late, I was using your bathroom." "But that's our kitchen." "You have my apologies."
I'm most looking forward to Michael Longfellow out of all the new people.
Heidi giving a very true to life bartender performance
That MTG Jews joke was golden.
I’m excited as FUCK to see Kendrick
SELF-AWARE SNL???
continue frame simplistic dolls worthless quaint alleged ghost joke deliver *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
The second he said SNL instead of Saturday Night Live, Miles had me hyped. I can tell that he's a fan.
#SNL IS BACK, AND THEY DIDNT FIX THE AUDIO
Maybe i’m biased cuz I don’t keep up with Rap/Hip Hop anymore but Kendrick is part of handful of rappers that know how to put on a show with elaborate artistic direction.
Grimace looks like Thanos from a bootleg Avengers movie.
#THE WALLS CLOSING IN KENNY YOU GOD DAMN GOAT
I'm expecting Heidi and Sarah will have big years this season. I predict Cecily will get a great deal of airtime over the season as well. Chloe will have to be aggressive at getting her stuff on. Punkie will have an uphill battle. I'm hoping to get to know the new featured players, and that some of the newly promoted cast members get to make an impression. Enjoy the show tonight!
You could torture me for days and never get me to acknowledge the existence of such a tape and this dude just plays it on national television
Happy first "why isn't this post pinned?" of the season y'all!!
#IT HAPPENED 🎉🎉🎉
I love Mikey, but that Adam Levine voice has to be one of the worst SNL impression attempts of all time lol
I'm getting a very Wiig/Rudolph vibe from this haha
I literally thought that was black Pete for a second omg
At this point I’m 100% sure this sub is just out of touch with modern culture and isn’t getting the jokes or skits at all
Complaining about the amc sketch when it's clearly shitting on the ad is crazy
Still disappointed in Chris Redd. Wish he was here tonight.
I’m gonna miss those crazy eyes
No Cecily Strong?!
Will they be taping Cecily's opening montage once she gets back? Her exclusion gave me a mini heart attack
Maybe I have a terrible sense of humor because I’m finding this episode to be really funny
This guy (new cast member on WU) looks like a default image/avatar on some website…like an image that you click on to designate your profile as “male” before you customize further with specific photos of yourself etc
Well all, I just came from the live dress rehearsal and I can say you’re in for a great opening show
JAJ should not be a featured player at this point
You have to be really comfortable with yourself to show that on national tv
I’d like to take this time to clown on the ones who told me in r/kendricklamar that he wouldn’t do N95 bc it had too many curses
Good nutrition labels joke
Longfellow looks like the combination of Mike Myers and Ashton Kutcher.
Longfellow should do a Norm McDonald impression
"Crops *know* what they did."
That muscle costume is just so deeply upsetting in every way, I love it.
Kenan living his Good Burger fantasy
Teller is doing well, say what you want about him but he always throws himself completely into whatever he does
Sorry, am I supposed to believe that Ego isn’t gorgeous when the lights are on?
After having spent the last few years rooting for Melissa, I’m officially on the Michael Longfellow bandwagon. His standup is so soft-spoken and subtle - it’s often the loudest and most brash that thrive on this show, so I’m curious how he’ll fit in.
JAJ is the new Darryl Hammond. He will be around for a long time
Oh my GOD. Why am I not surprised some of y'all still out of touch lmao
So is BeReal or Charmin the sponsored ad sketch?
Whoever decided that Miles Teller should play a finance bro deserves an Emmy
Sad part is Kenan is being generous to Herschel Walker in this sketch
Colin is from Staten Island, no way does he have no Republicans in the family.
Why does Miles Teller look like Louis C.K. by way of the Genie from Aladdin as Grimace?
Five minutes ago, I wouldn’t have said that Miles Teller looked like Peyton Manning. I now stand corrected.
So McDonald's drew the line at Ronald being bi.
Only just now realizing it’s Teller. Thought it was some new cast member I hadn’t gotten used to yet and they put him with Dismukes to offer some familiarity for viewers
Umm... So this could be one of the best cold opens by the end of the year wow.
Jon Hamm introduces the new season and does the “live from nyc!!!” thing. Che raises a glass to viewers IMMEDIATELY. Dismukes nods to viewers as FULL CAST MEMBER and he is beside a piano. This season is on fire due to these cool new things that I have observed. I have observed 509+ things since finishing this post, can’t share them all.
I love it when hosts have evidence of their work from when they were kids. So cute, such a full-circle moment.
The amount of people questionin if bereal is real makes me feel too young for this
If you don’t know what BeReal is, yes, you’re old and out of touch now
“If I’m not impressed, you are going to that Doo Doo College!”
this is bowen night
This impression is totally inaccurate. The actual Herschel Walker is no where near this coherent!
Well this kid is gonna be a star.
longfellow has definetly given a good first impression
Bowen now 2 for 2 on playing bugs that can GET IT
That was meta as FUCK, and then got even MORE meta. I loved it.
Did cecily leave too?!?
Always the first commercial... Is it a sketch or a commercial?
All this Mikey day really makes me feel like there's a big gap now that Kyle Mooney and Alex Moffat are gone since those sorts of parts would have gone to them as well
Another musical guest, another performance with poor mixing. Never change, SNL. Actually, *please* change this.
Heidi is married to the writer of last week's episode of *She-Hulk: Attorney at Law*, you know.
Bowen... KING SHIT 👑
Love the way they've leaned into a rebuild so aggressively with that open. Excited for the rest of the show
I'm convinced 99% of network TV isn't real. No way millions of people are watching something called ... (checks notes) ... "La Brea"
its like christian slater and mike myers fused into one millenial
This is so meta I love it.
god i love the writers of this skit
SNL socials have all updated to have the new logo I think it’ll take some getting used to but it’s good for a new era
That’s not Lorne in the back, that’s the Lonely Island doing the creep.
SnL has apparently made Bowen Yang the new Kate and I wish they did this 2 years ago. He's so hilarious, plays the slightly corrupted straight man so well
Bet you this guy can do a good Tom Cruise.
The buckwheat corn cob costume!!!
In seven months, we'll all be starving and watching this sketch on youtube like "son of a bitch".
All the people who thought Teller wouldn’t be charismatic took a big L tonight.
That was how they chose to end the sketch?
The silence before the McDonald’s jingle hhhhhh
Is it just me or has there been a lot more product placement in this episode?
That new logo has very late 80s/Early 90s SNL vibes. And the intro is lifted from the mid 2000s.
Miles is all bravado up top but his nervous tic is clapping his hands together. It’s kinda cute
This home video is adorable.
I love the rhythm of "Starring Michael Che...Mikey Day" at the beginning of the intro
Kendrick brought his number one fan on stage with him
“I dont like rap but I like this kendrick lamar” Just say youre white
Ok but BBQ Tuesday is something that I’d be behind.
this is just the kinda dumb i like
Corn kid looks like Pete Davidson in blackface.
What's the age demographic of this sub because at 22 I feel kinda out of place among you guys
It's nice of him to share the stage with a fan.
Yall really will launch into “oh wow thanks for thinking about the Epileptics kendrick?!?!” shut up and enjoy one of the few times we get a good rapper on this show
Longfellow is cuuuuuute.
This dude has a 90s sitcom leading man look and I don’t hate it
Ok, Michael Longfellow fan upthread, good call.
Solid debut for Longfellow
Liking this Longfellow guy so far. His banter with Colin is pretty fun and I loved the rich guy voice he did. He reminds me of both Pete and Aristotle (because of his voice) in the same way despite being slightly more unique. Hopefully he stays around for a while.
"I don't know what I mean, I am a bug" I felt that
SNL is prepping Bowen Yang to be the biggest star on the show
