Hey there Coneheads, welcome again for the most recent December 2025 version of SNL in Review. Settle for no substitutes.

Final week noticed the return of Melissa McCarthy, and almost 80% of you appeared to have loved the episode. I’m joined tonight by the one and solely Gary Kroeger. We’re thrilled to have him again! He says: “I've been watching the brand new season on YouTube and out of your clips right here on EW. I’m actually impressed with the brand new forged, however I’ve to confess, I'm nonetheless stunned on the reboot. New forged member Ben Marshall stands out to me as a result of he’s already 100% snug in his position. It isn't drastically completely different from his contributions with Please Don't Destroy, however he understands subtlety and earnest comedy. I nonetheless count on to see Heidi Gardner seem and am all the time a bit let down realizing that she is not there. Ashley Padilla will get me near forgetting her, nonetheless… I'm actually blissful once I see extra of Jane Wickline. I believed "Cousin Planet" was the very best filmed sketch I've seen in possibly endlessly.”

Tonight’s host is Josh O’Connor, who stars within the latest Knives Out sequel. (He’s nice in it!) Kroeger shares: “I solely know of Josh from The Crown, however that could be a very constructive impression. It’s onerous to convey such a widely known determine to life with out being a caricature, however that's what he does with Prince Charles. O'Connor doesn't ‘act’ per se, he ‘exists’ because the character. Excessive reward.”

OK, maintain scrolling and following alongside under!

Chilly Open

We begin with a vacation story – simply wait, that framing is an introduction to President Trump talking with reporters stay on Air Drive One. James Austin Johnson seems behind the airplane’s curtain, the place he lavishes reward on Karoline Leavitt, performed by Ashley Padilla. They do a pleasant zoom in as he obsesses over her mouth. Padilla ultimately will get the “LFNY” tonight!

Ambien and adderall drive Trump’s stream of consciousness. Requested in regards to the pending Warner Bros.-Netflix merger, he namechecks wanting to go to Luke’s on the Gilmore Ladies lot, which is a hilarious reference. Additionally noteworthy: Chloe Fineman’s Kaitlan Collins impression is stable right here.

Reflecting on this season’s chilly opens and method to the present political second, Gary Kroeger doesn’t mince phrases: “That is the place I’ll step on some toes. SNL has for many years now been probably the most provocative and essential voices in political satire. It STILL is, however this season, for the primary time, it feels formulaic. From the actual fact that there’s a public expectation that SNL goes to satirize the present occasion of that week, SNL delivers the satire of the present occasion that week. Trump falls asleep, count on the Trump Falls Asleep sketch. There’s nothing incorrect with that success of expectation, but when I’m to be utterly trustworthy — and I’m being utterly trustworthy — the jokes had been predictable, and that ISN'T the success of our expectation. SNL, in its purest and finest type, surprises us with an angle we hadn't considered. The formulaic method is difficult to withstand; if it really works, do it once more, and once more, however it has crept into SNL writing. The household across the dinner desk, the contrasting {couples} out to dinner, present straightforward platforms for quick writing that includes a single joke premise, however I lose curiosity. And once I lose curiosity, I feel again on John Belushi's Samurai, or Chris Farley's Motivational Speaker, or Dan Aykroyd’s Julia Youngster, Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon because the Scrumptious Duo, and bear in mind once I was stunned.”

Monologue

Josh O’Connor discusses Pixar! He appears to be like like numerous characters, together with Linguini from Ratatouille.

First takeaway: O’Connor is very British. That may go each methods as a bunch. Gary Kroeger notes: “British Humor is the downstairs recreation room within the American Home of Comedy. With out the Goons, then Python, I don't suppose there would have ever been SNL. SNL can draw a straight line to Sid Caesar, however Caesar was mainstream, whereas British comedians sprang from parodies of the mainstream. I labored with Ringo — a king of wry — and Michael Palin. Palin's method was normally the silliest approach towards discovering a fact. That could be a template for Saturday Evening Dwell.”

Extra on that under from Gary.

"Sport Present"

Josh is on a relationship recreation present, interviewing three potential contestants. One is a unusual aged lady performed by Ashley Padilla. She’s rapidly coming into Kate McKinnon territory, of us. Kate would’ve performed this in earlier seasons, proper? She rants in regards to the upcoming Toy Story 5. Huge Pixar night time to date.

Spotify's end-of-year lists are a part of the annual Spotify Wrapped, revealing personalised stats for prime artists, songs, and genres, with the information monitoring almost the complete yr. Now Uber is getting in on the sport with embarrassing factoids about orders, together with pick-up photographs.

"Dr. Please"

Bowen Yang returns because the exasperated "Dr. Please" character! O’Connor is Shirley, with a humorous Plain English supply. Dr. Please brings up All That, which is so meta my thoughts simply reset. The group beloved this.

Lily Allen, "Sleepwalking"

“Sleepwalking” positive looks like it’s about gaslighting and emotional manipulation… so a really private efficiency? Earlier than tonight, Gary Kroeger says he beforehand knew “of Lily Allen, however it wasn't till tabloid drama relating to her separation from David Harbour. I did a dive into her music, and whereas ‘electro-pop’ — sorry for the reductive time period — isn't my cup of tea, it’s abundantly clear that she is proficient, intelligent, acutely aware, and a real artist.”

"Delicate Strippers"

Strippers are coming to a comfy, snowy girls' night time within the Catskills. The bride (Padilla) is deeply uncomfortable. Augie (O’Connor) and Remington (Marshall) arrive, and so they ask for consent. They’re very delicate – the best males. They take away one cardigan, revealing one other beneath. Each males vibe, and have a Will They/Received’t They second. Remington cries, serious about the Supreme Court docket.

That is hilarious. Simply one of many season’s finest. Love the Fleet Foxes insult.
