* Chance the Rapper's recurring character Lazlo Holmes is a sports commentator who ends up at sports events that he has no clue about, like a video gaming tournament. Fast forward to 2024, and real life sports commentator Stephen A Smith started getting questions about ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'', leading to him gaining memetic popularity in the gaming community.

* During the 25th anniversary special (broadcast in 1999 before the beginning of Season 25), a ''TV Funhouse'' short [[SelfDeprecation mocking]] Creator/LorneMichaels showed him, among other things, advertising some SNL merchandise. One of the products he present is the fictitious 45th anniversary special [[UsefulNotes/{{VCR}} VHS]] [[TechnologyMarchesOn tape]], with a future appearance of Wayne and Garth, and Music/PaulSimon as a musical guest, all of them very, very old-looking. Fast forward to 2015 and the real 40th anniversary, that included indeed a Wayne's World skit, and an aged Garth looks very similar to the animated depiction of the 25th anniversary (Wayne not so much); Music/PaulSimon don't look as decrepit as in the cartoon, but the song he sings is the same: "Still Crazy After All These Years".

* Creator/DakotaJohnson hosted an episode to promote the then-upcoming ''Film/MadameWeb2024'', including a sketch in which she and the Please Don't Destroy team engage in (playful) SnarkToSnarkCombat. This includes Dakota making fun of the low Rotten Tomatoes critics' score of ''Film/PleaseDontDestroyTheTreasureOfFoggyMountain''. When ''Madame Web'' released, however, it got a ''much'' lower score, giving the PDD guys one more piece of ammo to use against Dakota.

* The first episode after 9/11 has your typical ''Celebrity Jeopardy'' skit, with host Reese Witherspoon playing the [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} certifiably nuts]] Anne Heche; she doesn't respond to Alex Trebek (Will Ferrell) informing her that it's her board, until he calls her "Celestia"; fast-forward about 9-10 years, and that name is [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic definitely recognizable]].
