Stereogum • • general
Key Points:
- John Mulaney hosted SNL for the seventh time, delivering a monologue with generational jokes and a lengthy Robert F. Kennedy Jr. impression, alongside a NYC-themed musical bit.
- The cold open featured a CIA meeting with tech moguls discussing how to identify spies, referencing Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang's scandal; Bowen Yang returned as Huang.
- Mulaney's parody Broadway medley included a song about new legislation banning horse-drawn carriages in Central Park, with performances by Veronika Slowikowska, Kenan Thompson, and Bowen Yang.
- Phoebe Bridgers performed two haunting songs, "Bobby" and "Still Standing," in her third SNL appearance, with a visually striking finale featuring blacklighting effects and a skeletal face reveal.
- SNL announced its December 5 episode will feature first-time host Amanda Seyfried and musical guest Don Toliver.
