[u/PinkCadillacs → u/360degreescalvin]

I want this picture in the Louvre

[u/dragonfliesloveme → u/360degreescalvin]

I miss Miss Eggy!

[u/bradytheguy1]

Nice ad-lib from Mikey, real SNL vet behavior

[u/EitherPermission2369]

I think my first f bomb live…oh SNL I’ll still love you 

[u/ldenso3]

Did anyone catch “sorry about earlier” at the end lmao

[u/hyperjengirl]

I love the zero applause at "My friend Joe Rogan"

[u/lovetheblazer]

"Your breath smells like a book" is an underrated insult

[u/ToWitToWow]

Oh, she’s live live. Like, move the mic away and there’s no backing vocal live. Damn.

[u/jett_jackson]

Holy shit she needs to do Erika Kirk, she’s got the looks down and the eyes

[u/Classic_Wingers]

“You said a bad word!” The cast getting extra mileage out of this haha.

[u/sexandliquor]

I apologize Rosalia I was not familiar with your game

[u/Robsurd]

Within a short time Grace was a daughter, a dying mom, and a hot ex wife. It just seems that deserves a mention.

[u/James_2584]

I'm pretty sure Sarah in that outfit is unlocking somebody's fetish lol.

[u/bjkman]

AND YOU SAID A BAD WORD

[u/JediButterfly]

God, I hope they keep the live version for the online with Mikey’s ad lib

[u/giftopherz]

Mikey calling out "a bad word" at the end of the sketch was great

[u/HanSolosSizzledHeart]

“My friend Joe Rogan” jeeesus CHRIST

[u/TheRealMe99]

JAJ IN A COLD AND ITS NOT TRUMP WE WON

[u/ShamrockShakespeare]

Jenny slate died for this?!?!

[u/remotecontroldr]

Shutting the fuck up about what women wear was an option

[u/Worried-Olive3613]

For someone not taking his eyes off the cue cards he managed to squeeze that in pretty smoothly

[u/BTGGFChris]

HELL YEAH MIKEY

[u/shinbreaker]

Mikey Day showing he’s the king of improv

[u/BurgerNugget12]

Mikey with a great improv bit there

[u/AmandaOhSnap]

lol Mikey day with the adlib

[u/yobelkcip]

Great save from Mikey

[u/ItsWillJohnson]

Guys the rules dont apply for hosts. Kristen Stewart came back after saying fuck in her monologue

[u/TheGoldenBoii]

Mikey’s a real pro.

[u/CaptainHolt43]

The acknowledgement was hilarious, "YOU SAID A BAD WORD!" and even the "sorry about earlier"

[u/gottahavemyPOPPs1]

Secret: Lorne wants f bombs occasionally. Guaranteed that sketch is 10x more popular now because of that

[u/jk1rbs]

Really wondering how she's set up to hold the en pointe this hold time.

[u/finalcountdown666]

She just said “let me show you the mic is on”

[u/freshmanflop]

I always have respect for musical guests open to being in sketches

[u/EbmocwenHsimah]

"Linda?"

[u/Realistic-Contract13]

Jane noping out of a sketch again!

[u/CookieDoughSport69]

[u/stephapeaz]

AND YOU SAID A BAD WORD

[u/Caliastanfor]

dropping Rogan's name at SNL isn't really reading the room.

[u/CaptainCanusa]

Jesus christ.

I have to assume a lot of that routine was like...a bet from the Austin comedy guys or something?

There's no way he thought "girls dress like whores nowadays" jokes and Joe Rogan/Theo Von anecdotes would do well here.

[u/Imaletyoufinish_but]

I love that it was the Green Eggs and Ham sketch that got the F bomb dropped.

[u/painful_fart00]

Awww Lorne gonna be mad at ya'll! (-Miss Eggy)

[u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

WE GOT IMPROV

LORNES GUNNA HAVE A HEART ATTACK

[u/Nyynks212]

Mikey day, a true pro

[u/CookieDoughSport69]

mogged.png

[u/trumanburbank98]

Best f-bomb remains Samuel Jackson tbh just because of Kenan's "we gotta pay for those!" But Mikey was quick with it here too

[u/throwawar4]

There’s no way she’s just standing in point like that?? Is this her thing

[u/BobCirca]

I can’t help but laugh when Ashley’s voice hits that octave 😂

[u/PowerHour1990]

Holy shit, Marcello has a second voice.

[u/SouthernInternal999]

good luck following that up Gracie Abrams

[u/CookieDoughSport69]

[u/UpperStudent5784]

Jeremy Culhane is so handsome in the opening!!

[u/thisismycanceracct → u/UpperStudent5784]

Jeremy Culhane is so handsome always

[u/FarmerFilburn4]

Mikey with the improv

[u/CookieDoughSport69]

[u/WildMajesticUnicorn]

"You're a loser and you said a bad word!"

[u/JediButterfly]

The voice change got me lmao

[u/honestypen]

Rogan and Theo Von name drop?? Bill Maher next??

[u/jonmay_work]

"my friend joe rogan" is not the name drop he thinks it is for this audience

[u/inksmudgedhands]

Kudos on the props department for the rolling window sofa.

[u/osnapitzsunnyy]

THIS WAS THE FIRST LIVE F-BOMB IVE WITNESSED LIVE MARK THE DATE

[u/squintsforever]

Mikey Day is a legend for that. Haha.

[u/mimzynull]

The James Johnathan joke was solid

[u/Lane-Kiffin]

Mikey saved the sketch

[u/SanchoMandoval]

Improv?? On my SNL???

[u/IamGrimReefer]

the callback to the f-bomb was funny, and his apology sounded sincere.

[u/Hup110516]

Mikey calling him out! 😂👌

[u/stephapeaz]

take a shot every time Shane insults women 😵‍💫

[u/KTGTL]

I never once pondered why athletic shoes are called "sneakers" in my 41 years. Regardless of execution that's a great premise.

[u/tealccart]

The kid with the cigarette 😭

[u/Bangkok_Dangeresque]

"We'll save you money, but it'll cost you" is just plain good writing

[u/Dustmachinewind]

I'd never heard of Rosalia before, but that's pretty nice singing. Pretty cool to get introduced to a new musical act.

[u/EbmocwenHsimah]

"Relax brother, you'll be reunited with her in two weeks anyway!"

"...what?"

[u/ToWitToWow]

“These next two weeks without you is going to be really tough” is a great joke

[u/joshklein37]

Did Shane skip the photoshoot or something?

[u/knightboatsolvecrime]

I think we found the official Grace breakout sketch.

[u/weeblewobble82]

Grace rocked tonight. She's an instant SNL classic. She needed no warm up period at all

[u/EbmocwenHsimah]

The "Something Got Cut" band shot!!

[u/pink_faerie_kitten]

The HVAC ad was spot on. The guy that was sent to my mom's house to diagnose the furnace was polite and clean cut. The guys who came to install it were muddy and reeked of smoke. Took days for my house to air out (in the middle of winter) and the rug needed scrubbing

[u/pink_faerie_kitten]

Weekend Update showed some teeth tonight. Much improved from the milquetoast, stale jokes of last week. They were mean and they mentioned the Nazi looking influence of the new pentagon logo. Really good and funny.

[u/YOSHIMIvPROBOTS]

Rosalia is amazing!

[u/Huge_JackedMann]

This must be how the sub feels for every musical guest

[u/WhoseDuckIsItAnyway]

"Actually, I'm good. Have a good night." - Kam

[u/Phuckules]

Kam just leaving, lol

[u/Johnny_Carcinogenic]

wow history

[u/ldenso3]

Wait did Mikey just improvise the bad word part???

[u/EitherPermission2369]

I think Mikey and Andrew were the best people to handle the whole situation 

[u/symphonyno87]

Tommy Brennan in this sketch has to become a GIF

[u/bjkman]

"See, we showed up"

[u/James_2584]

JAJ is 100% this cast's Phil Hartman. The man is a fucking chameleon. Top tier impressionist and phenomenal character work. And super professional and hardly ever breaks!

[u/ThisDerpForSale]

"If not, we can eat 'em!'

Holy crap I laughed at that a lot.

[u/Careless-Economics-6]

Ashley killed it as Woman at the End of Her Rope

[u/EbmocwenHsimah]

"So, I am right here..." One line and she nailed it

[u/Huge_JackedMann]

This is all divorced dude comedy. Not unfunny but it's kind of one note. 

[u/Big_Ducks_Only]

NOT RHE F BOMB LOL

[u/gottapoopweiner]

lol damn crashing and burning

[u/everynamecombined]

Mikey Day clutch af

[u/IvyGold]

Mikey spins the F-bomb without breaking a sweat!

[u/James_2584]

Okay, as much as I've cooled on Mikey, that was a top tier ad lib!

[u/parkerbing1]

Sarah Sherman oddly looked really good in that fit!

[u/SyNiiCaL]

I think everyone is wrong about the f bomb. SNL isnt gonna get in actual trouble, they'll pay a ridiculously affordable fine and the clip will go viral on social media. That F Bomb is nothing but an overall benefit for SNL

[u/michaelwavednoodles]

didn't realize it until his hair was different but ben lowkey has a period drama face

[u/FIDLARonTheRoofAZ]

A sketch about the origin of the term "Sneakers" is a good idea and feels more like something that would be on a Bargatze hosted episode since he typically writes actual witty standup material like that.

So it seemed weird for this to be a Gillis sketch... and then it became a sketch about something else... So it did make sense after all.

[u/jxmmychuu]

As someone who’s worked a lot in manual labour, this hits the spot

[u/OG_Casual-Thor]

Close captions are telling me that she's "singing in Spanish"

[u/ToddHundley]

Perfectly nails how O'Leary sounds so condescending and like seemingly agrees with you while blowing off everything you say.

[u/The_Mike_El]

Those are some evil (cough cough Erika K) eyes.

[u/pecanesquire]

Coco BEAN…

[u/parkerbing1]

That Kevin impersonation was so good I can't get over the voice

[u/AyRayKay]

The fake mom in the bed hahahaha

[u/swazal]

That was LIVE … amazing studio performance!

[u/bradytheguy1]

idk but feels like the best musical performance on SNL in at least the past 5 years

[u/mimzynull]

I'm an old head, usually focus on the hosts but this episode is like a throw back to when I listened to SNL for the musical guests. Rosalía is just transcendent

[u/8racecar8]

Mikey Day improv pro

[u/proserpinax]

“Women are dressing like whores” “my friend Joe Rogan” yeah that tracks

Not making me feel bad he got fired from SNL lol

[u/CookieDoughSport69]

im never coming back am i

[u/Hup110516]

“My friend Joe Rogan”
https://giphy.com/gifs/dB12mOQb99BwDlM83I

[u/kilokahn]

Oh man, why was he re-booked?

[u/PinkCadillacs]

I don’t understand why Shane keeps getting asked to come back to host

[u/RiseFromYourGrav]

Reminds me of the bit from 30 Rock where Tracy is making jokes about his life as a rich person, and it's not landing. 

[u/smooth_sea]

His sense of humor feels stuck in 2006

[u/Ok_Incident_6287]

How is Ben so adorable in every single outfit 

[u/Careless-Economics-6]

Mikey being a pro

[u/mcd23]

Mikey with a moment of truly great improv

[u/privateplant]

What is the trickery in the way shes standing like that so still

[u/Raptorpicklezz]

As a Canadian who’s watched Kevin O’Leary on TV for longer than yall, this is surreal and JAJ is spot on

[u/space_llama_karma]

He’s wearing two watches lol

[u/emo_sinner]

How is those whole monologue just weird and bad towards women

[u/Pandoras-SkinnersBox]

“My friend Joe Rogan…” should never open any sentence ever.

[u/MD_FunkoMa]

Sarah Sherman as Thing 1/2 is pretty dang good. Also beautiful, too.

[u/BearCertain8064]

Ya know, if they won’t let Sarah be batshit weird, at least they let her be trash lmao I’ll take my Squirm any way I can get her.

[u/muhkuller]

[u/PixlatedDonut]

Is it just me or was that one of the best live performances of all time

[u/Parmesan_Pirate119]

As Miss Eggy would say "Lorne gonna be mad at y'all!"

[u/thatgirlnicola]

https://giphy.com/gifs/n71ex8ztZnhao
Let’s wrap this monologue up…

[u/Johnwi111505]

I hope we see more of saidah tonight

[u/James_2584]

JAJ's RFK Jr. impression has gotten a LOT better! A moment of silence for his vocal cords.

[u/proserpinax]

JAJ not doing Trump is the reprieve I need tonight. Not that JAJ isn’t talented, Trump just bums me out

[u/CookieDoughSport69]

not enough fireball for this monologue

[u/GreenStretch]

God, what a horror show, Shane, Joe, and Gillis, Von in a steam room.

[u/dragonfliesloveme]

Name drops Joe Rogan?

🤨😒

[u/negme]

Ok I’m woke again 

[u/smallerthings]

Welp, he said 'fuck'

[u/QueenFrostine15]

WOW F BOMB THIS IS WHY I WATCH LIVE 

[u/SupaDupaTron]

And you said a bad word!

[u/RiseFromYourGrav]

Mikey Day with the improv win

[u/EveningFlights]

lol, James Jonathan was silly. Sarah Sherman makes a perfect Who.

[u/Cerblu]

Mikey Day, taking of advantage of the situation there.

[u/matchamelodyy]

exactly why mikey is one of my fav cast members

[u/Johnny_Carcinogenic]

JAJ always nails these period piece characters

[u/turningtee74]

Saidah getting a little more bit parts. Good start, hope she gets a feature bit soon tho

[u/Sensitive-Meat-757]

Upfront HVAC is best sketch in this ep so far

[u/AyRayKay]

Uhhhhh what the fuck no strobe warning????

[u/Ozzel]

Very Kate Bush. I dig it.

[u/Sp_Gamer_Live]

I will say

that is one way to prove you are not lip syncing

[u/Fast_Way8546]

Mr Wonderful is perfect for sketch comedy as a character since I am 99.9 percent sure he is the devil lol

[u/streetsahead483]

Ben as Jelly Roll is inspired casting.

[u/PowerHour1990]

“I am not cancelling my submersible experience!”

[u/Mintcreme7]

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. No notes.

[u/MarkMcWrath]

"Your breath smells like a book" was good lol

[u/maxmouze]

Grace Reiter jumping right into the show with the confidence of a seasoned SNL vet.

[u/rupaulofitall]

Oh yikes

[u/P_didnt]

My friend joe Rogan yes regretable

[u/UsagiGurl]

Name dropping Joe Rogan so many times 🤮

[u/stephapeaz]

I laughed more during Dakota Johnson’s monologue

[u/Phuckules]

lol, there is a fucking window to roll down

[u/JediButterfly]

He doesn’t fucking like them

[u/Phuckules]

You could see his whole body implode on that

[u/HanSolosSizzledHeart]

GUYS HE SAID FUCK! GUYS GUYS!!! HE SAID FUCK!

[u/AnthonyCumiaPedo]

Ooops Shane about to get fired from SNL again

[u/SanchoMandoval]

Welp this sketch will only be remembered for one thing

[u/JediButterfly]

MIKEY WITH SOME IMPROV

[u/smooth_sea]

Ahh Mikey with the save

[u/Captain_Blackjack]

“Sorry about earlier”

[u/would_do_again]

Props to props on the Cat’s wheels.

[u/Johnny_Carcinogenic]

Kenan with a gray beard and gray hair is so good

[u/Cerblu]

The Closed Captions be like [Singing in Spanish]

Yep, that she is.

[u/Huge_JackedMann]

Is she in some kind of suit or harness? I find it hard to believe she's standing point for all of it? 

[u/AyRayKay]

What a cool way to show that you’re live damn

[u/Tsukiko_]

Fuck ice

[u/Skolney]

Grace went from child to old lady in record time

[u/Hup110516]

I had never heard of her until Akiva talked about her on The Lonely Island & Seth Meyers podcast, her voice is absolutely beautiful!

[u/ResearchChem87523]

Rosalia killed it. Music Booker is the MVP of this season so far.

[u/drboobafate]

You know when bro’s facial expression doesn’t change at all during the monologue you know it (and the episode as a whole) are gonna be dogshit.

[u/Limp_Competition_512]

this episode is so male centric WHERE are my ladies

[u/sexandliquor]

About to risk it all for Sarah in that Thing 1 costume.

[u/FadedBlackTee2]

'Sorry about earlier' good save

[u/inksmudgedhands]

For those who are wondering, he isn't kidding. Hegseth is going to do a publicly aired execution by firing squad. That's where we are now.

[u/the_Odd_particle]

MY friend Joe Rogan. Not his.

[u/HeisenbergsSon]

Welp he might not ever come back

[u/nh18wheeler]

CMON SHANE THAT COSTS MONEY

[u/symphonyno87]

HE SAID FUUUUUUUUCKKKIINNNNN

[u/neatgeek83]

F bomb alert! Lorne might just retire before update.

[u/dan_blather]

Might as well drop a few more, now that the damage is done.

[u/ObviouslySteve]

It was a pump ;)

[u/YoungKeys]

Venmo us and say it’s for pizza lmao

[u/lovetheblazer]

"You have to Venmo us and say it's for pizza."

[u/dexters_trap_house]

I tuned in for Shane, never heard of Rosalia. She's really good. Reminds recently when Olivia Rodrigo was on and I was like "all the kids like her, I'll see what's up instead of skipping" and thought her live performance was better than the studio recording of whatever that song was where she was at the table.

[u/givemecoffeenowhurry]

I just had a seizure
