Saturday Night Live: Nate Bargatze, SNL Cast Check In From Read-Thru

Saturday Night Live host Nate Bargatze and the SNL cast checked in from read-thru ahead of this weekend's show with the Foo Fighters.

NBC's Saturday Night Live Season 49 kicked things off with SNL alum Pete Davidson (Peacock's Bupkis) & musical guest Ice Spice, followed by host/musical guest Bad Bunny. But the season's third episode already comes with a ton of serious expectations. That's because it's Halloween weekend – but no pressure, first-time host/stand-up comedian Nate Bargatze and musical guest Foo Fighters. Along with offering an "SNL Rewind" looking back at the Foo Fighters' previous appearances (beginning with the 90s), we've been tracking how the week's been for Bargatze so far – and that brings us to the following look behind the scenes at how read-thru went this evening:

In the following midweek sketch, SNL's stars Andrew Dismukes & Devon Walker remind Bargatze that he's the host – which means he's the "star" this week. Well, it looks like that's all that "Mr. Nice Guy" needed to hear to be more "Hollywood" and "edgy" – and it starts with the newest cast member, Chloe Troast, and a cup of coffee – and it gets a whole lot uglier from there:

Here's a look back to the start of this week's PR machine for this weekend's SNL, followed by a Q&A with the long-running sketch comedy/music series' newest cast member:

In the following "New Cast Q&A," Troast gets a chance to "speed round" a whole bunch of questions that help give us a better idea of what we can expect from Troast this season, so definitely check it out:
