* From the 1999 episode hosted by Creator/JerrySeinfeld, Seinfeld after being sent to prison in the ''{{Series/Seinfeld}}'' finale is transferred to the one seen on the prison series ''Series/{{Oz}}''. The fastidious Jerry blithely goes through his daily routine while interacting with that show's characters like white supremacist Schillinger and his bitch/nemesis Tobias Beecher. Things like PrisonRape are talked about like about the mundane minutia on his own show:

* From the 1999 episode hosted by Creator/JerrySeinfeld, Seinfeld after being sent to prison in the ''{{Series/Seinfeld}}'' finale is transferred to the one seen on the prison series ''Series/{{Oz}}''. Which was filmed on the actual set used for the show, with the very same actors who appear in it - making it a rare moment where instead of just being a parody like most ''Saturday Night Live'' sketches about movies or TV show, it instead ends up coming off as an unofficial {{Crossover}} between ''Oz'' and ''Seinfeld''. The fastidious Jerry blithely goes through his daily routine while interacting with that show's characters like white supremacist Schillinger and his bitch/nemesis Tobias Beecher. Things like PrisonRape are talked about like about the mundane minutia on his own show:

* Another fun movie spoof for a guest host monologue: Creator/BillPaxton mentions how nice the cast has been to him all week, but cutting to backstage we learn that it's a cruel setup for the old ''Film/{{Carrie}}'' pig's blood prank (complete with split-screens). They didn't count on Paxton having psychic powers of his own...once he's managed to set the studio and the conniving cast members on fire, he cheerfully assures the audience (apparently spared from the extra-crispy treatment) that there's a great show coming up!

* From the Creator/GwynethPaltrow episode: Jack Perkins (Hammond) announces that A&E is going to replace him as host of ''Biography'' with former ''CBS This Morning'' host Harry Smith. So, he presents "The Biography of Harry Smith," in which Smith is accused of being the son of Adolf Hitler and a baboon, responsible for the Manson family becoming drug-crazed murderers, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking addicted to sniffing other people's farts]]. Hell, practically every moment of this skit.
-->'''Paula Zahn:''' Of all the things that impress me about Harry, I would have to say the most compelling is his integrity, both as a journalist and as a man.\\

* The [[https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/schmitts-gay/3505912 Schmitts Gay fake commercial]]. Where it is filmed as shot for shot parody of the original Schmidt's beer commercial. Where the dialog and opening intro match the original exactly, except instead of a group of athletic women rising out of the pool, it's a bunch of athletic men which reveals the twist about the [[StraightGay two protagonists]].

* From the Creator/SharonStone episode. Aside from her monologue being a parody of the interrogation scene from ''Film/BasicInstinct'', in one skit, she plays a beautiful woman sitting at a bar, completely lonely because all the men are so intimidated by her beauty that they turn into babbling idiots everytime they try to talk to her. Until one guys--who's considerably less attractive than she is--finally works up the nerve to do so and suddenly ''she's'' the moron who can't string a sentence together.

* Caray's interview with Linda Ham (Joan Allen) is similar, but adding to the surrealism, the real Harry Caray had actually died nine months earlier. A deeply confused Ham struggles with her prepared remarks for a few seconds and then just gives up:
-->'''Linda Ham:''' Please, please forgive me for asking this, but didn't you ''die''?
-->'''Harry Caray:''' Yes I did. What's your point?
