SNL Cut for Time Sketches: Paperless Post; Kearney on Family/Holidays

Before wrapping up for the year, NBC's Saturday Night Live released two SNL Cut for Time sketches from this past weekend's midseason finale.

NBC's Saturday Night Live said goodbye to 2023 and hello to a holiday break this past weekend, with SNL alum/comedy icon & host Kate McKinnon & musical guest Billie Eilish doing their part to end things on a festive & funny note. But not every sketch that was in play that week made it to air. Thankfully, SNL was kind enough to release two Cut for Time sketches as heads into its not-long-enough "long winter's nap." In "Paperless Post," Heidi Gardner's company spokesperson introduces us to some of the newest features being offered by Paperless Post – features guaranteed to get you a response. Following that, "Weekend Update: Molly Kearney on Going Home for the Holidays" finds Molly Kearney visiting Weekend Update to share what the experience is like when it's time to visit the family for the holidays.

And don't forget that SNL returns on January 20, 2024, with a pair of first-timers – host Jacob Elordi (Euphoria, Priscilla) and musical guest Reneé Rapp. Now, here's a look at those two Cut for Time sketches from the midseason finale:
