** Creator/MayaRudolph as Kamala Harris scolding Trump for interrupting Biden like a mother defending his child, while Biden acts just like an embarrassed child.

** Ego Nwodim headlines a new recurring sketch, the Dionne Warwick Talk Show, which immediately indulges in some RefugeInAudacity - the guests include Timothee as Harry Styles, and later on, Chloe Fineman ''as Timothee.''
** Apparently Tim was assigned Pete Davidson for a wingman this week, and the payoff comes in the XXL Roundtable sketch, when both the guys play a typical white rap duo that only blew up online, with their streaming hit "YEET". At one point Tim just covers his face with both hands because he's clearly {{corpsing}} at Pete's goofy dance.

--->'''Deluca (Chamalet):''' Listen! I have in my hand right here sworn affidavits from '''500 Jets fans''' who swear they witnessed the Jets win [against the Miami Dolphins]!\\

** Kenan as [=LaVar=] Ball returns to Weekend Update to talk about his son and rising star [=LaMelo=], who plays for the "the most storied franchise in all of basketball" Charlotte Hornets [[note]]Ironically, [[DontExplainTheJoke the Hornets are historically one of the worst franchises in the NBA]][[/note]], already declaring him not only rookie of the year but also MVP. He also says that once [=LaMelo=] wins all of those awards he would unite both North and South Carolina into a "Super Carolina" known as Carolossus. [=LaVar=] also introduces a new shoe line known as the [=CaraMelos=], a chocolate shoe that has actual ''caramel'' inside as well as having Alexa. And just like a previous appearance of [=LaVar=] on Weekend Update, Kenan himself comes close to {{Corpsing}} due to the ridiculousness of the chocolate shoe.

** At curtain call, Pete Davidson goes in ''hard'' for a hug with Music/MachineGunKelly (who is his friend in real life), causing both men to tumble off the stage!

** The "DC Morning" sketch which has Trump and Don Jr. fleeing the White House in a white bronco, invoking the infamous white bronco chase involving O.J. Simpson and the police. Don Jr. is that the wheel playing the role of A.C. Cowlings to Trump's O.J. The Dialogue is absolute gold.

** The ten-to-one sketch has several gay people (all played by the show's three gay cast members [Kate, Bowen, and Punkie] and the host, since all of them are gay and lesbian in real life) honor the 10-year anniversary of the "It Gets Better" project (the project showing that LGBT youth shouldn't give up hope just because they're being bullied and harassed for their sexuality and gender identity), while noting that [[RealityEnsues their lives didn't necessarily get easier even when society became more accepting of the LGBT community]]. For example, Bowen's character talks about how terrifying it is when ''other'' gay people [[NoTrueScotsman bully you for your music tastes because they're more "organized,"]] while Kate's character is glad to have children and visit her wife in the hospital, but isn't glad that they have [[OutsideContextVillain a giant, terrifying iguana as a pet.]] ''And it can use doorknobs.'' '''''And''''' the reason her wife is in the hospital is because the iguana attacked her.

--->'''Che:''' San Diego police are being investigated for after video surfaced of them using excessive force on a homeless black man accused of urinating in public. But I say great work keeping our streets clean boys! Yes sir, anything the police do is okay with ol' Mikey Che! I know I'm probably the only black man brave enough to say this on live TV, but Blue Lives Matter even more!

** The Cold Open is another edition of "Oops, You Did It Again," with Britney Spears (Chloe Fineman) welcoming Lil Nas X (Chris Redd), Pepe le Pew (Kate Mc Kinnon in a skunk costume with a cigarette), and Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz (Pete Davidson). Things get awkward when Gaetz tries to ask forgiveness from Lil Nas X and Pepe le Pew.
-->'''Pepe:''' Dude, ''non.'' I am a cartoon skunk, you're a US Congresmman. Do better, okay?
-->'''Lil Nas X:''' I'll have you know that I have both hip-hop friends and country friends, the two most likely groups to carry firearms.

-->'''Pepe:''' Dude, ''non.'' I am a carton skunk, you're a US Congresmman. Do better, okay?

Things get awkward when Gaetz tries to ask forgiveness from Lil Nas X and Pepe le Pew.

** After years of usually getting the short end of the stick during their semi-annual "Weekend Update joke swap", Colin Jost finally hits Michael Che with a joke just as outrageous as the ones he usually gets.

* Keegan-Michael Keye/Olivia Rodrigo:
** The new venue for ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' turns out to include a security duo (Keegan-Michael Keye and Kenan Thompson) who have zero tolerance for Waldorf (Mikey Day) and Statler's (Beck Bennett) heckling and eventually beat the crap out of them (aided by some disturbingly realistic quivery hand puppeteering). Then they discover the puppets don't actually have lower halves, and immediately change their tune and apologize, assuming they're veterans. Highly experienced sketch performer Keegan even comes close to cracking up as Statler's swollen eyes are revealed.

** The Cold Open is a newscast from Minnesota that has the white anchors (Kate McKinnon and Alex Moffatt) discussing a high-profile trial with the Black anchors (Ego Nwodim and Kenan Thompson), agreeing on guilt but not agreeing on what the outcome of the trial will be. They even get the weatherman (Chris Redd) involved. His weather forecast for the state, though, is painfully and hilariously accurate:

The 46th season started on October 3, 2020, with a smaller live audience, but the same big laughs it had before the pandemic happened...especially since it's an election year (and even after that, the aftermath and ongoing problems are worth a few laughs).

** The show applies '''''severe''''' RealityEnsues to the regular holiday commercials of a man (Beck Bennett) surprising his wife (Heidi Gardner) with a Lexus for Christmas, as she's outraged he'd make such a huge purchase without her input, and it just goes downhill from there as it turns out he's completely ignorant about down payments and APR, and borrowed all the money for the car from his neighbor (Mikey Day) because he lost his job in March...of 2019 (which was a year before the COVID-19 pandemic upended a lot of non-essential jobs for people).

--->'''Mindy:''' Maybe I'm a scrooge but I don't know why anyone would do this to a tree... maybe for practice, you'd just get splinters in your mouth... Oh sorry, my thumb was covering the first letter. ''[[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Trimming the tree.]]'' (buzzed out)\\
