** One of the first things they do is [[https://youtu.be/kELDEdMbkyg bring back the Mrs Rafferty and Sharon]] (Kate and Cecily) sketch, more or less a rehash of the original one apart from Mikey Day sitting in for the now-departed Bobby Moynihan. Maybe it was Kate, or the producers or writers, or some combination thereof that noticed Ryan's uncontrollable {{corpsing}} from the last time, but this time they resolved to just ''[[ThrowItIn force it out of him]]'', with Mrs Rafferty turning Ryan around to demonstrate what TheGreys were doing to her already abused hindquarters, by squeezing, punching and even ''shoving her face into Ryan's ass'', with poor Ryan quivering and about to melt down the whole time. [[RunningGag Good thing the agency gave him]] a NiceHat to help hide his laughter.

** ''Late For Class,'' there a student played by Luke Null enters a class taught by Kenan Thompson, and preceeds to act like a complete ass to every single student in there, and the Janitor. The hysterical part is in the halfway twist... where it's revealed that this is Luke Null's ''first day of school'' and the entire routine was his attenpt to "make a splash." Also, the end of the sketch revelaes that his name.
--->'''Keenan''': Maybe you'll be able to move past this, socially. Now, what is your name?"\\
'''Luke''': [[FailOSuckyName Brody Chode]]\\
'''Students''': *Laugh*\\
'''Keenen''': Nope! You're doomed!

'''Kenan:''' (StunnedSilence).

** It's technically the St Patrick's Day episode so they commemorate with a sketch about an Irish-themed dating game show with the beautifully appropriate name "Kiss Me I'm Irish". And by Irish-themed we mean that ''everyone'' on the set is Irish, with Aidy Bryant as the one Irish-American contestant, but the real joke is that both of the other ladies are revealed to be the guy (Bill Hader)'s ''cousins'' - [[IncestIsRelative and they just keep on playing.]]

** The monologue suddenly turns into SomethingCompletelyDifferent, as stage hands whip off Bill's outfit and start putting him into costume while he's still talking. By the time the blonde wig and denims are in place, the audience is already cheering, as they lead right into a new "Californians" sketch, which starts out with Kate [=McKinnon=] playing a new housekeeper replacing the departed Rosa since Vanessa Bayer, who plays that role, isn't on the show anymore. But just to be safe, they've deliberately got a framed photo of her in the same WhamLine expression they always go into before each EyeCatch - and that's how the photo gets used later on.

** The ColdOpen is SomethingCompletelyDifferent as a random pick of cast members bring their real moms on stage - and then the whole thing takes a political slant anyways when the moms (jokingly) all turn out to be conservative, basically echoing the words of the HateDom.

** Pete Davidson's ordering a lobster in a diner - in spite of the fact that nobody orders a lobster from a diner's menu - somehow turns into a full-blown ''Theatre/LesMiserables'' takeoff, complete with the lobster's daughter Clawsette and the staff making a barricade to save him. Plus Davidson getting caught completely {{Corpsing}} in close-up.[[note]]This had been an idea of Mulaney's during his tenure as writer on the show, and being the guest host finally had the chance to get it performed.[[/note]]

** The ''Undercover Office Potty'' commerical, mostly through the [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome more realistic reactions]] both co-workers and the supervisor (played by Hader) display upon learning that Beck Bennett's office drone has been using the bathroom in his office using potties disguised as supplies (that are also comically and obviously gigantic for usual office supplies). It gets especially hilarious near the end, when they both confront Bennett's character as he does this again...

-->'''Will'': We got the most expensive procedure from the cheapest doctor we could find.

'''Dawn:''' [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped Global warming. We be treating the earth like a big big bitch, kay?]]

** The spoof of ''the opening'' of ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'', best summed up as RealityEnsues until it's an OverlyLongGag. Long story short, the "guys up to no good" are part of a drug and arms ring, leading to Jessica as an FBI agent coming after Will, but it's too late as the gang goes to Bel Air and shoots Uncle Phil, so the FBI fake Will's death before revealing that she's really serving him up to the Yakuza to offset certain debts, until both the drug gang and Uncle Phil find him and a bloody shootout occurs... and that's why Will now lives off the radar as a hobo.

** Like his character in ''Film/{{Drive}}'' he is obsessed, driving at night, imagining the graphic designer taunting him.

-->'''Harry:''' Stop saying [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Cump...]]

** There's a music video that spoofs those 80s R&B tunes [[ValuesDissonance that start to sound a little disturbing to today's audiences]] (like that "Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car" one). Donald is the singer Razz P Berry, performing "The Night (I Watched You)", who thinks his woman's been cheating on him, and ended up tearing everything of hers out of his life, including stuffing her jewellery ''up his own butt'' - and then it turns out that because of his wearing SunglassesAtNight, he's been stalking ''the wrong woman.''

** Leslie Jones appears as a WomanScorned in a sketch where Kenan Thompson is a jazz singer, who's at work when she shows up carrying his favorite jeans. You fully expect her to rip up his jeans in front of him... but you don't really expect Leslie Jones, the biggest woman on the show, ''need more than one go at it to do it.'' It's also one of the rare times Leslie corpses on the show.

** ''Weekend Update'' brings back the Donald Jr. and Eric Trump duo (Mikey Day & Alex Moffat respectively), and right off the bat we have Eric trying to look more intelligent by aping Junior's every move - but still ends up [[SayingTooMuch blurting out the wrong (read: incriminating) thing at the wrong (read: right) time]], [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny forcing Junior to distract him with his Halloween candy]]. Eric ends up licking his Fun Dip stick for a while, before Junior shows him how it should work, by dipping it into the candy powder first. One taste and Eric looks like he ''attained Nirvana.''

** One of the first things they do is [[https://youtu.be/kELDEdMbkyg bring back the Mrs Rafferty and Sharon]] (Kate and Cecily) sketch, more or less a rehash of the original one apart from Mikey Day sitting in for the now-departed Bobby Moynihan. Maybe it was Kate, or the producers or writers, or some combination thereof that noticed Ryan's uncontrollable {{corpsing}} from the last time, but this time they resolved to just ''[[ThrowItIn force it out of him]]'', with Mrs Rafferty turning Ryan around to demonstrate what TheGreys were doing to her already abused hindquarters, by squeezing, punching and even ''shoving her face into Ryan's ass'', with poor Ryan quivering and about to melt down the whole time. [[RuninGood thing the agency gave him a NiceHat to help hide his laughter.

--->'''Agent Morris:''' "And how would you describe [the aliens'] behaviour?"
--->'''Rafferty:''' ''(deadpan)'' "Shoppers storming a Walmart on Black Friday."

-->'''Michael''': Saudi Arabia announced this Tuesday that they would begin to allow women to drive. [[SarcasmMode Wow, that's only a few short years after cars were allowed to drive themselves.]]\\

-->''"He just highlighted (the word) 'Avatar', clicked the drop-down menu and he just randomly selected Papyrus like a, like a thoughtless child, wandering through a garden yanking leaves along the way."''

'''Colin:''' TooSoon!\\

** The show ends on a new "Last Call". That's right, Kate gets to put the moves on ''[[BiTheWay Amy]]'' as a ButchLesbian.

** A new string-of-impressions screen-test sketch, for the upcoming live-action ''Disney/TheLionKing''. Newcomer Heidi Gardner's impersonation of actress Kristen Schall was so accurate many viewers thought it was really her!

** Speaking of Kenan impressions, they bring back ''Celebrity Family Feud'', this time catching up on belated Oscar fever with a Winners vs Losers matchup. On the Winners team is Kate [=McKinnon=] as Creator/FrancesMcDormand[[note]]Best Lead Actress for ''Film/ThreeBillboardsOutsideEbbingMissouri''[[/note]], Beck Bennett as Creator/GuillermoDelToro[[note]]For ''Film/TheShapeOfWater'' of course[[/note]] and Chris Redd as Creator/JordanPeele[[note]]Best Screenplay for ''Film/GetOut2017''[[/note]] - on the Losers side is Sterling as Music/{{Common}}[[note]]Co-wrote the theme to ''Film/{{Marshall}}'' but lost Best Song to ''Disney/{{Coco}}''[[/note]], who doesn't seem that sour since he did win once for ''Film/{{Selma}}'', but ends up breaking into a freeform cypher (with accompanying beat) every now and then at random; and Melissa Villasenor as Creator/SallyHawkins, who's inexplicably ''still'' in character as Elisa. Stealing the show for them is Alex Moffat as Creator/WillemDafoe[[note]]Lost the Best Supporting Actor award to Creator/SamRockwell[[/note]] who's already got a ThousandYardStare going on. At one point Steve Harvey comments on Jordan's success with ''Series/KeyAndPeele'', to which Jordan says "sketch comedy is fine, but at some point you just have to move on, yknow?" [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Steve briefly goes catatonic like he just realized something.]] Then Jordan mentions is his next project, the story of Dr. Ben Carson.

** Another Sterling role that's deliberately getting an indirect reference - the one in ''Film/BlackPanther2018''. Sterling plays T'Challa's great-great-grandfather T'Kana (which makes for some StrongFamilyResemblance since Sterling plays the father of Killmonger in the movie), speaking with T'Challa (Chris Redd) in the spirit realm alongside several other ancestors, including Leslie Jones, every black extra they could rope in, and Kenan as an uncle who's not only second-generation since he lacks their African accent, but the proud owner of a [[ActorAllusion burger-grilling]] business. At one point he presents his finest burger like it was [[Disney/TheLionKing infant Simba complete with pseudo-African chanting]] - cut to Sterling and Leslie nearly corpsing.

** A sketch set in Disney World is about a special attraction where the usual Disney Princess players are hidden behind a magic mirror, intended to reflect every little girl's inner Princess, except this time it's three grown up gal pals having a bit of fun. We're treated to Heidi as [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Elsa]], followed by Kate as [[Disney/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel]], but when it's Leslie in front of the mirror, it's not [[Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog Tiana]] like some folks might be expecting... but Chadwick as Music/RKelly, doing a highly inappropriate hip bob to a sudden backing track, while holding a bag of popcorn and then a sandwich in a suggestive manner. Chadwick is just a little too good at the dancing part...

*** Like his character in ''Film/{{Drive}}'' he is obsessed, driving at night, imagining the graphic designer taunting him.

*** It gets better: when Stefon whispers the word that he's not supposrd to say to Shy -- Mulaney actually whispers something completely nonsensical back to make Hader break character and laugh. What did he say? [[https://youtu.be/NC-TF0SPzzM "My girlfriend works at Yoshinoya Beef Bowl."]]

*** Speaking of MoodWhiplash, [[https://youtu.be/LAQRtjvtQRo the last bit]] of ''Update'' draws genuine cheers from the audience as Bill Hader puts in a much-awaited appearance as Stefon. Despite having appeared with Colin and Michael before, Stefon is somehow [[AccidentalMisnaming unable to get their names right]], eventually settling on calling them "Film/{{Moonlight}}" and "Film/LaLaLand". (If you can't tell which is which, we have some bad news for you...)

--->'''Michael:''' ''How'' did they arrive at US$130k? Sounds like an oddly specific number. I asked Stormy Daniels to come on ''Update'' to explain this, but her agent tells me that [[UnfortunateImplications if she's seen with a black guy her price goes down.]] (huge audience reaction)

--->'''Leslie:''' ''Stacey''. I bought that man groceries one time. This man is 30 years old, yall. I brought the groceries to his house and his momma, WHOSE HOUSE HE LIVES IN, put her hand on my shoulder and said [[KickTheDog "I've had that boy, and I know you can do much better."]]

** There's a first for SNL and possibly TV in general as we get a [[RoleReprisal Role PRE-prisal]], with Donald playing Lando Calrissian before ''Film/{{Solo}}'' is even out. He's the host of the Black People in Space convention[[note]]it's in the Franchise/StarWars 'verse so they're neither African ''nor'' American here.[[/note]], which unfortunately has ''just three other guests'', including Kenan reprising his Saw Gerrera from the Creator/FelicityJones episode:
