Kristen Wiig hosted SNL this week along with musical guest The xx. Check out the highlights from the episode!
‘SNL’ Recap: Cold Open
The cold open this week saw the return of Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump. The sketch featured Kate McKinnon as a nervous Kellyanne Conway and a cameo by alum Jason Sudeikis as Mitt Romney. Check out the funny sketch below.
Opening Monologue
Kristen Wiig Put on a song and dance for her opening monologue for this episode. In this song, she sings nothing but fake news (which has been the center of controversy surrounding this election season). Check out the hilarious monologue below which features cameos by Steve Martin and Will Forte.
Secret Word
Kristen Wiig reprised one of her most hilarious sketches: Secret Word with theater actress Mindy Elise Grayson. The sketch was everything you thought it would be and featured Cecily Strong as her opponent.
Sue the Surprise Lady
Reprising another classic character, Kristen Wiig returned as Sue, the surprise lady. In this sketch she just can’t keep her composure as a veteran returns home for Thanksgiving dinner.
Thanksgiving Day Parade
With Thanksgiving coming up in the United States, the Thanksgiving Day parade was at the center of another sketch. In this sketch, Wiig plays an oversized Madeline Thanksgiving Day parade balloon that might be a little too life-like. Check out the sketch below.
The xx performs
The xx performed two songs as well. Check out the their performance of “On Hold” below.
Coming Up on ‘SNL’
SNL will take next week off for the Thanksgiving holiday. Emma Stone will host when SNL returns on December 3 along with musical guest Shawn Mendes.
