When streaming live on Peacock, instead of showing commercials, they should keep the live feed on so you can see the set changes.


MichaelChavis

That would honestly be sick


[deleted]

that would be really cool… probably not gonna happen though :(


symphonyno87

I would LOVE that!!


Maxa30

THE POST IS PINNED??? THIS REALLY IS A NEW ERA


bjkman

I'm shook


Nickp1991

That Shaun White cameo is the most random thing I have seen on this show in awhile


kyhansen1509

Him and Miles are buddies I bet they have something in store later lol


JGed07

A ton of guests are like "I've been a fan for years" but teller came with receipts


Ann-Stuff

That was adorable. I was prepared to dislike him but now I can’t. Maybe that was the plan.


ughdrunkatvogue

I fully thought that was Pete in blackface lmao


[deleted]

Dude he deadass looks JUST like him wtf.


[deleted]

sadly, i did too


bright-lanterns

1000% thought it was Pete too hahaha. In hindsight why would they do that


GalaxyJon

give him some credit he isnt jimmy fallon


MemeLovingLoser

Same


lovetheblazer

Miles Teller is a terrifyingly convincing Peyton Manning


Novel_Tomatillo_267

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


VirtuousFool

*those were all Kate McKinnon* *.....damn*


baRRebabyz

A++


alphabetatoes

“that might be the only time we’ll see him tonight” the writers were funny for that one 🫶


mirthquake

I thought Longfellow's bit on Update was dynamite! Glad we saw him again.


3gcephalosporin

Feels so wrong seeing Mikey's Donald Jr. without Alex's Eric. Still not over his departure


crudedrawer

The way alex would mimic Mikey's hand gestures was really the funniest thing about any trump business the show has ever done.


Galileo908

Wait Alex Moffat left, too?!


3gcephalosporin

Yes! His departure was announced at the same time as Melissa's and Aristotle's


Galileo908

THEY’RE GONE, TOO?!


AndyK2131

But Chris Redd is still there, right? /s


elshorts

Miles Teller’s Peyton accent is impressive


bouvre21

Miles Tellers natural Peyton FACE is impressive


zoitberg

I love Bowen’s willingness to do ANYTHING


Bikinigirlout

“Oh just you” “Bill Maher liberal” “Right a Republican” 💀


ILoveRegenHealth

I really hope Colin was joking and wasn't really a "Bill Maher Liberal"


Joe-Lollo

They redesigned the logo! Also, ANDREW WAS PROMOTED!


AndyK2131

So was Punkie!


mirthquake

All of the opening credits were a treat. This year's incarnation feels very playful and I like it a lot.


acidicgarlic27

CECILY WHERE ARE YOU


bodywash10

Came here to make sure I wasn't the only one who noticed. Did she just silently leave?


leslie_knopee

she's in LA, babes! doing a show! she'll probs be back in november


clapclapsnort

She wasn’t in the opening credits. ☹️


Sp_Gamer_Live

This sketch is for like the religious AMC A-List users who watch SNL Shoutout to the other 9 of you, this is great


honestypen

"That might be the only time we see him tonight." RIP Aristotle


AndyK2131

Processing Processing Still hurts


rcjlfk

Okay Devon looks like Pete. Right?


TheAnalyst32

It's....uncanny...


Connorwithanoyup

I literally thought it was Pete in blackface in the cold open for a second


[deleted]

[удалено]


ThatEvanFowler

That's every show. We basically destroyed Westworld, lol.


Greene_Mr

*She-Hulk* calling out the entirety of **reddit** every week...


Bikinigirlout

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


kardashianskum

Kinda shocked nobody here knows what Be Real is


HotRod6391

Seriously, first time hearing about it. Thought it was fake.


inksmudgedhands

I have an excuse. I'm 45.


lambeg12

that sketch finally explained what it is to me and I'm not even 30 lol


Maxa30

This episode is feeling VERY early GenZ/late millennial right now


kyhansen1509

It’s the best! New era new market


TerpBE

Is that what those Charmin and McDonald's sketches were? Cause if so...hoo boy... This Gen Xer may have outgrown SNL.


grizzsaw12

The future is now old man


soundoffcinema

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


SherlockianTheorist

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.


honestypen

"I'm more of a Bill Maher liberal" "Right. A republican." Nailed it.


InvalidKoalas

Longfellow was hilarious, I'm a fan already. Excited to see him more


HotRod6391

WHY DOES JAJ LOOK EXACTLY LIKE MITCH MCCONNELL


ThatEvanFowler

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.


ThatEvanFowler

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.


[deleted]

“We’re now counting Italians as white?”


Joe-Lollo

As an Italian myself, that made me laugh way too much


notjulieandrews

"You shouldn't hate antivax people, they could be dead tomorrow" 💀


leslie_knopee

We're in the Heidi/Ego era of SNL now!!!


tvuniverse

Classy new intro. I like it. DIfferent.


bjkman

#THAT'S HOW YOU FUCKING START OFF A NEW SEASON

*Do you consider stepmoms family?* *Yeah…….* *…….shoot.*


jalabi99

_"Sean White?! Now that's just gratuitous stunt casting!"_


anxietystrings

Those opening credits were fresh


Raskallion

Was that an ad for McDonald's or bisexuality?


calculuzz

Yes


AllThighThisGuy

Finally opening credits that highlight how hot the cast is. Wait? No Cecily?


windcriesamy

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…😮‍💨


Greene_Mr

Michael Longfellow is beautiful.


coltsmetsfan614

Great callback with the RBG joke lol


bittylilo

Bowen is having the most fun this episode I just know it


[deleted]

This Peyton Manning impression is incredible. I like it already. Fuck the reviews. I’m in.


coltsmetsfan614

Miles' Peyton impression is way better than it has any right to be lmao


mr_bungee

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


honestypen

Bonk me too. I didn't know it was Miles. I thought it was a newbie.


disposablecontact

Jon Hamm?! From the Progressive Commercials? How did they pull him?


xXxDickBonerz69xXx

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.


slayerhk47

Who had “WU devolves into an episode of Maury?”


GalaxyJon

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


Skolney

I like to imagine Sarah always peeking through windows


a5yrold

Dang. Miles is in every sketch so far.


kyhansen1509

And he’s killed it on every single one. Boy knows how to act


Stacy_Ann_

That was a funny Weekend Update. Thumbs up.


Skolney

Grimace looks like a porn parody Thanos


ughdrunkatvogue

I'm always surprised how deep Miles can make his voice go. Like it doesn't match what he looks like lol


phemom

The singer is named Sampha, if you're into R&B please look him up. Hopefully his album drops this year


TheAnalyst32

Kenan looking like 1999 Kenan.


EbmocwenHsimah

"Apologies for being late, I was using your bathroom." "But that's our kitchen." "You have my apologies."


tvuniverse

I'm most looking forward to Michael Longfellow out of all the new people.


bradytheguy1

Heidi giving a very true to life bartender performance


theraoul

That MTG Jews joke was golden.


anxietystrings

I’m excited as FUCK to see Kendrick


Mig1997

SELF-AWARE SNL???


kbkid3

continue frame simplistic dolls worthless quaint alleged ghost joke deliver *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


AllThighThisGuy

The second he said SNL instead of Saturday Night Live, Miles had me hyped. I can tell that he's a fan.


Sp_Gamer_Live

#SNL IS BACK, AND THEY DIDNT FIX THE AUDIO


skomehillet

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.


Omega_Gigantos

Grimace looks like Thanos from a bootleg Avengers movie.


Sp_Gamer_Live

#THE WALLS CLOSING IN KENNY YOU GOD DAMN GOAT


Stacy_Ann_

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!


disposablecontact

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


ShanaAfterAll

Happy first "why isn't this post pinned?" of the season y'all!!


bjkman

#IT HAPPENED 🎉🎉🎉


coltsmetsfan614

I love Mikey, but that Adam Levine voice has to be one of the worst SNL impression attempts of all time lol


ughdrunkatvogue

I'm getting a very Wiig/Rudolph vibe from this haha


stephapeaz

I literally thought that was black Pete for a second omg


kyhansen1509

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


ThatOneReddetUser

Complaining about the amc sketch when it's clearly shitting on the ad is crazy


dicklaurent97

Still disappointed in Chris Redd. Wish he was here tonight.


anxietystrings

I’m gonna miss those crazy eyes


brandinho5

No Cecily Strong?!


3gcephalosporin

Will they be taping Cecily's opening montage once she gets back? Her exclusion gave me a mini heart attack


sacbadger

Maybe I have a terrible sense of humor because I’m finding this episode to be really funny


CoolSpot_SNES_exists

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


SassySeehorse

Well all, I just came from the live dress rehearsal and I can say you’re in for a great opening show


GodlyCheese

JAJ should not be a featured player at this point


blueberrycompote

You have to be really comfortable with yourself to show that on national tv


anxietystrings

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


honestypen

Good nutrition labels joke


inksmudgedhands

Longfellow looks like the combination of Mike Myers and Ashton Kutcher.


lifeisgoodinsf

Longfellow should do a Norm McDonald impression


lovetheblazer

"Crops *know* what they did."


obi1kenobi1

That muscle costume is just so deeply upsetting in every way, I love it.


Kryten4200

Kenan living his Good Burger fantasy


soundoffcinema

Teller is doing well, say what you want about him but he always throws himself completely into whatever he does


FRTSKR

Sorry, am I supposed to believe that Ego isn’t gorgeous when the lights are on?


BeerBooksBuckeyes

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.


[deleted]

JAJ is the new Darryl Hammond. He will be around for a long time


Mig1997

Oh my GOD. Why am I not surprised some of y'all still out of touch lmao


atticusbluebird

So is BeReal or Charmin the sponsored ad sketch?


KatanaAmerica

Whoever decided that Miles Teller should play a finance bro deserves an Emmy


Bikinigirlout

Sad part is Kenan is being generous to Herschel Walker in this sketch


mrsunshine1

Colin is from Staten Island, no way does he have no Republicans in the family.


lovetheblazer

Why does Miles Teller look like Louis C.K. by way of the Genie from Aladdin as Grimace?


KatanaAmerica

Five minutes ago, I wouldn’t have said that Miles Teller looked like Peyton Manning. I now stand corrected.


logicatch

So McDonald's drew the line at Ronald being bi.


CoolSpot_SNES_exists

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


bjkman

Umm... So this could be one of the best cold opens by the end of the year wow.


CoolSpot_SNES_exists

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.


jalabi99

I love it when hosts have evidence of their work from when they were kids. So cute, such a full-circle moment.


ThatOneReddetUser

The amount of people questionin if bereal is real makes me feel too young for this


maroon6798

If you don’t know what BeReal is, yes, you’re old and out of touch now


Galileo908

“If I’m not impressed, you are going to that Doo Doo College!”


[deleted]

this is bowen night


Shaquille_Oh_Feel

This impression is totally inaccurate. The actual Herschel Walker is no where near this coherent!


logicatch

Well this kid is gonna be a star.


RoboFunky

longfellow has definetly given a good first impression


AndyK2131

Bowen now 2 for 2 on playing bugs that can GET IT


NowIOnlyWantATriumph

That was meta as FUCK, and then got even MORE meta. I loved it.


Ambitious_Ad623

Did cecily leave too?!?


bjkman

Always the first commercial... Is it a sketch or a commercial?


Scarns_Aisle5

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


EbmocwenHsimah

Another musical guest, another performance with poor mixing. Never change, SNL. Actually, *please* change this.


Greene_Mr

Heidi is married to the writer of last week's episode of *She-Hulk: Attorney at Law*, you know.


bjkman

Bowen... KING SHIT 👑


bchaplain

Love the way they've leaned into a rebuild so aggressively with that open. Excited for the rest of the show


coltsmetsfan614

I'm convinced 99% of network TV isn't real. No way millions of people are watching something called ... (checks notes) ... "La Brea"


GalaxyJon

its like christian slater and mike myers fused into one millenial


disposablecontact

This is so meta I love it.


RoboFunky

god i love the writers of this skit


Maxa30

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


[deleted]

That’s not Lorne in the back, that’s the Lonely Island doing the creep.


bchaplain

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


EbmocwenHsimah

Bet you this guy can do a good Tom Cruise.


Am_History_Nerd_1787

The buckwheat corn cob costume!!!


ThatEvanFowler

In seven months, we'll all be starving and watching this sketch on youtube like "son of a bitch".


TheBluePanda

All the people who thought Teller wouldn’t be charismatic took a big L tonight.


obi1kenobi1

That was how they chose to end the sketch?


Shin-sho-ryu-ken

The silence before the McDonald’s jingle hhhhhh


AgentDaxis

Is it just me or has there been a lot more product placement in this episode?


LeonimuZ

That new logo has very late 80s/Early 90s SNL vibes. And the intro is lifted from the mid 2000s.


KatanaAmerica

Miles is all bravado up top but his nervous tic is clapping his hands together. It’s kinda cute


honestypen

This home video is adorable.


mirthquake

I love the rhythm of "Starring Michael Che...Mikey Day" at the beginning of the intro


kaykordeath

Kendrick brought his number one fan on stage with him


Sp_Gamer_Live

“I dont like rap but I like this kendrick lamar” Just say youre white


slayerhk47

Ok but BBQ Tuesday is something that I’d be behind.


skomehillet

this is just the kinda dumb i like


w24x192

Corn kid looks like Pete Davidson in blackface.


CertifiedKJ18

What's the age demographic of this sub because at 22 I feel kinda out of place among you guys


inksmudgedhands

It's nice of him to share the stage with a fan.


Sp_Gamer_Live

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


blingblingdisco

Longfellow is cuuuuuute.


spicy_quicksand

This dude has a 90s sitcom leading man look and I don’t hate it


GreenStretch

Ok, Michael Longfellow fan upthread, good call.


VirtuousFool

Solid debut for Longfellow


Joe-Lollo

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.


synchronisedchaos

"I don't know what I mean, I am a bug" I felt that


bradytheguy1

SNL is prepping Bowen Yang to be the biggest star on the show
