With only three days to go until NBC's Saturday Night Live welcomes first-time host Regina King (Watchmen, One Night in Miami) and first-time musical guest Nathaniel Rateliff to Studio 8H (with the hosts and musical guests for the February 20 and 27 shows to be announced soon), we've gotten over our issues with the lack of a[...]
You're on notice- and that means at least three table read preview images.

For a look at what's essentially a mini-recap from Saturday's episode followed by a moment at the end with King and Rateliffe's names telling us that there's a new episode this week (are we coming across passive-aggressive, because that's what we were[...]
Finally, that "Cancel Children" segment with Day and Heidi Gardner is a perfect example of how if you're going to go down a route that's going to make the audience moan with discomfort then make them feel so uncomfortable that they can't help but laugh I was surprised and impressed by how far they went[...]
Following that, Levy wonders if Bridgers could write a song about him considering how they've gotten to know one another- but Bryant already has that covered.

Starting with the story of how he crashed the SNL Christmas party with Davidson, MGK follows up by explaining how he used to crash on Davidson's couch while SNL filmed and talk about being booked on the show one day:

It's also a fact that Davidson doesn't hesitate to make everyone aware of (we swore he was going to take a dive down the stairs for one second) in the clip below:

Here's a look at the full, original sketch to use as a comparison:

NBC's Saturday Night Live featured SNL alum Kristen Wiig, a horny Grinch, a rough Biden start, Michael Che owning Joke Swap 2020, and more.
Then it's time for a "Mimic Challenge," where the pair challenge each other to mimic the sounds of inanimate objects (ex: the squeeze of a ketchup bottle, the bounce of a ping pong ball):
Fallon was also lucky enough to pull Dua Lipa away from rehearsals to help him perform a special version of "Christmas Is[...]
In the second clip, Lipa's like us: Wiig and McKinnon are trying way too hard to convince us that it's a "wonderful time of the year." Finally, McKinnon takes a second to get the two caught up on what's been going down since they were last there in the most basic way possible.

Here's a look at the clip, followed by the song that we're starting a mini-campaign over to make sure it gets performed live that night:

Well, you couldn't ask for a better final host for 2020 than Kristen Wiig (Wonder Woman 1984)- do we really need to remind you of just how much of a performing powerhouse she was on the show from 2005-2012, and every appearance she made after that?
Saturday Night Live ends the year with Kristen Wiig and[...]
And in case anyone out there thought Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band was booked solely out of respect for his rock history were given a smack-to-the-back-of-the-head reminder in the form of "Ghosts" and "I'll See You in My Dreams" that "The Boss" and his crew still have quite a few musical moments left[...]
Joining Wiig to wrap up the midseason for 2020 is musical artist Dua Lipa.
