Cold Open
Chloe Finemanis back playing CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins, intercutting between the two candidate rallies.
This format allows us to jump toJames Austin Johnson’s rambling, vested Donald Trump.
Maya Rudolph and Kamala Harris on ‘SNL’.NBC
Where the hell am I, this place reeks, he laments.
Nobody cares, he hisses, before inviting JD Vance (Bowen Yang) on stage.
Shes been personally texting every voter in America.
Her husband Doug Emhoff (Andy Samberg) is planning to sue the showDougfor taking his name and likeness.
Dana Carveyenters the chat as President Joe Biden.
He is one of a kind and his talent is insane - so specific and exact!
Rudolphs Kamala is finally alone - and wants to chat with someone who has been in her shoes.
Then, we get it: dueling Kamalas!
The real candidate is here!
They touch on the laugh and some of the candidates other tics.
Keep Calm-ala/Kamala and carry-on-ala!
While this isntObama stopping by the Clinton Halloween party, this is still fun.
I am going to vote forus!
says Rudolph with pride, before the real VPOTUS jokingly asks whether shes a registered Pennsylvania voter.
Monologue
Mulaney is back hosting for a sixth time.
He notes he has a 5-week-old daughter and a 34-inch-tall 2-year-old.
Everyone in his home is small.
He wonders when his parents will be old ala the grandparents fromCharlie & the Chocolate Factory.
It sounds like eventually he will have hip replacement surgery.
He was too old to even fight World War II.
A very solid Mulaney monologue, decidedly apolitical - at least in terms of commenting on Tuesday.
“What’s That Name: Election Edition”
Election edition!
The game show contestants are Ben and Margaret Atwood (Sarah Sherman).
Early answers are Jack Smith and Doug Emhoff.
Mulaneys Ben nails both, as this is the most important election of our lifetimes.
Democracy is on the line!
In another surprise cameo, Hillary Clintons VP appears and asks Mulaney to remember his name.
In 2016, Mulaney also claimed democracy was on the line so surely he knows his name.
(It’s Tim Kaine.)
Michael Longfellowtakes over for Bill Hader here- big shoes!
This is fun, not sure he captures the same indifferent malevolence.
“Beppo”
NASA celebrates completing its first orbit around the Earth with a chimp, Beppo.
The champagne is popped when there is an issue in space.
The ship has lost control and there is no way to get Beppo home.
Filmmaker Dan Bulla is playful with classic mid-20th century American patriotism, and lands a happy ending.
Love the story and synth - extremely catchy.
Live from New York, its Saturday night!
she hollers at the end.
Roan recently shared a throwbackFacebook postfrom 2011, posted under her birth name, Kayleigh Amstutz.
I am determined to be on SNL, she wrote.
“Weekend Update”
The election will decide whether theSNLcast and crew gets audited!
Our anchors focus on the closing arguments from both candidates and the wild week.
Celebrities are coming out of the woodwork to endorse their preferred candidate.
Heidi Gardnercomes out as Reba McEntire, who is undecided.
Shes folksy and concerned with Team Reba onThe Voice.
Lots of unlikely couples are popping up these days.
How did they meet?
She was watchingSteven Universeon her phone at the club.
They revisit an episode with Little Richard (Thompson), who Paultodd met at a swingers club.
(And yes, Little Richard actually went onFull House!)
I guess the joke is how unhinged Richard was offscreen - and on.
Which likely has some truth to it!
Paultodd is like Vin Di Bona meets Jeff Franklin.
Interesting to see Thompson in this role.
Chappell Roan debuts “The Giver”
A fun country-themed lesbian ballad!
The state assemblyman (Mulaney) spends his time in the commercial correcting common misconceptions about his record.
