* "Chucky" has three womee (Nwodim, Fineman, Villaseñor) gossiping about their coworker Janet by comparing her to Chucky from ''FIlm/ChildsPlay''. all of a sudden Chucky (Sherman) pops out of the bathroom and, angry being compared to her Janet, stabs the three women in the legs, prompting an HR meeting where even her boss (Gyllenhaal) bullies Janet (Bryant) and downplays Chucky's violent tendencies.

** Due to the COVID-19 reflaring with an Omicron variant, the live skits had been cancelled... But the prerecorded skit for a "Homegoods Ad" where Paul Rudd as the ad director tries to get two middle-aged women - Bryant and [=McKinnon=] - quickly revealing what they want for Christmas: ''[[IWantGrandkids Grandkids]].'' With Bryant's emphasizing the word as grand''children'' over and over, even as Rudd tries to get them to declare other gift ideas to promote in the ad. It gets weirder when the two women talk Rudd - who starts off disliking the idea of having kids - into getting kids for his mother to enjoy as grand''children''. The skit ends with Bryant's daughter Kelsey calling with good news that she's pregnant... and the Homegoods Ad flashes a "Attagirl, Kelsey!" on the bumper.

** ''Weekend Update'' brings [[Series/SesameStreet Elmo]] (Creator/ChloeFineman) to the desk to discuss his longtime feud with his friend Zoe's [[CompanionCube pet rock Rocco]] recently going viral on social media. Initially, Elmo, who is excited to be on the show and asks Michael Che if he can host one day, assures the audience he has apologized and moved on from the feud. But then things take a turn when Che brings Rocco onstage, which predictably causes Elmo to lose it after he learns Rocco had to take a COVID-19 test despite being a rock. Then Elmo jumps off the deep end when he learns Rocco is appearing on the show the next month as both the host ''and'' musical guest and decides to [[Main/RockPaperScissors kill Rocco with a piece of paper]].

** ''Weekend Update'' has the Guy who Just Bought a Boat (Moffat) return to give tailgating tips. It then takes a left turn when Moffat mentions that both Jost and Pete Davidson were among a few people that a bought Staten Island ferry[[note]] Specifically, the real life decommissioned ''MV John F. Kennedy'' ferry[[/note]].

** A pre-taped sketch features Chloe Fineman, who has been watching ''Series/InventingAnna'' in her dressing room, deciding to adopt Anna Delvey's persona so she can get VIP treatment behind the scenes of the show. Cue her walking around 30 Rock wearing designer clothes and speaking with a vaguely Russian/German accent while demanding her colleagues give her whatever it is she wants, whether it's getting meals from Nobu or taking other the other cast members' parts:
-->'''Chloe:''' ''(approaching the ''Weekend Update'' desk)'' [[BlatantLies Lorne says I host ''Update'' now.]]\\

-->'''Sam:''' ''(after one of the meatballs spits black goo on Redd's character): ''Oh, don't worry about that, it's not poisonous or anything, it'll just stain your clothes. [[ImmediateSelfContradiction And it's poisonous.]]

** "Bug Assembly" involves a middle school class doing a presentation on bugs, complete with costumes. Bowen Yang's character (whose two dads are a Bravo producer and a Creator/FoxNews conservative) steals the show as a CampGay Daddy Long Legs, strutting around the stage and starting petty drama with his praying mantis classmate. To top it off, he was actually assigned the cockroach, not the daddy long legs, but didn't vibe with it.
