Nov 24, 2019 · Will Ferrell ‘s Saturday Night Live homecoming marked his fifth turn as host — but there was no mention of the esteemed Five-Timers Club during his “terrible” introduction. Instead, the...

Welp…we return to another grotesque Alec Baldwin-as-Trump cold open. You either buy into what they’re doing here…or you don’t. Seeing Baldwin enter, face covered, the crowd is immediately on his side. (Why does it always look like he’s purposefully mid-yawn?) Mikey Day, Heidi Gardner, Cecily Strong and Kyle Mooney play reporters outside Air Force O...
Ferrell reappears without his bald cap to 8H. He turns to crowd work — and Ryan Reynolds is in the audience. This, too, is odd — Reynolds is the ex-husband of Colin Jost’s fiancée (Scarlett Johansson, who will host next month. Hm.) Ferrell is thrown off by Reynolds’ presence — that seems to be the gist here, combined with his reliance on old silly ...
“Heinz” is a funny commercial parody about those awkward, and trite jokes about big meal toots. And the reveal — that ketchup bottle farting has been replaced with sexual moaning — is clever. This is a great use of Ferrell’s talents: the aggrieved and frustrated everyman. To me, it reminds me of his first big sketch, which he also did in his SNL au...
It is fun seeing Melissa Villaseñor as Rachel Maddow! Previously, Maddow has been played by Abby Elliot and Cecily Strong. Maya Rudolph, Larry David, and Woody Harrelson are back as Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden. “Mama needs a gif!” says Rudolph, which is an astute, great ongoing joke, considering Senator Harris does seemingly strive ...
Armisen and Rudolph are back as Pocahontas’ family. It’s an interesting concept, especially following last sketch’s references to Elizabeth Warren’s supposed Native American ancestry. Ferrell is the bigoted tribe elder suspicious of John Smith (Beck Bennett). “White actors playing Natives, what year is it: 2014?” Ferrell posits at the sketch’s conc...
Did you ever want to see Mikey Day and Cecily Strong rap? Here you go! They’re high schoolers throwing a party for their friends. Their teacher (played by Ferrell) joins the ruckus, apparently suffering from a midlife crisis. I am not a huge fan of the beat, and the rapping does not approach Chris Redd’s solo efforts, let alone Lonely Island — but ...
This is a fun, nonpolitical showcase for Kate McKinnon, who plays a middle-aged mom horny for pizza. If SNL still did those Best Of DVDs, you could see something like this added, in between maybe a Colleen Rafferty and Mermaids. Ferrell plays McKinnon’s husband, who is unable to cope once his distraught wife leaves the set. Earlier this week, Heidi...
King Princess’s first song, “1950,” was released way back in February 2018. In fact, it’s King Princess’s debut song. You immediately see the appeal of the powerful ode to queer love with an aesthetic and guitar solo reminiscent of Prince.
The Jost bros in the audience give Colin Jost and Michael Che a huge boost as things kick off. Jost takes on Devin Nunes’ apparent involvement with Lev Parnas. Elsewhere: “True is true,” says Che, reflecting on Mayor Bloomberg’s controversial stop-and-frisk policy. It did give him a good excuse for being late to work, and rediscovering his weed. “I...
Kenan Thompson returns with another Cinema Classics alternate ending, this time for The Wizard of Oz. McKinnon is Dororthy to Aidy Bryant’s Aunt Em. Ferrell is the doctor, who inspired the Munchkins. He gets maybe the biggest laugh of the night: “WHAT WERE WE WEARING?!” Classic Ferrell rage. Cinema Classics first appeared in 2013, then once in 2015...

On May 14, 2005, on an episode that Will Ferrell hosted, the Gene Frenkle character made a reappearance on the set of Saturday Night Live as musical guest Queens of the Stone Age played their first song of the night, "Little Sister" – which features a jam block, an instrument similar to a cowbell.
Ferrell's 5th hosting stint, thus making him a five-time host and the fourth longtime former cast member to enter the Five-Timers Club on the November 23, 2019 episode during season 45, the seventh episode and Thanksgiving show of Season 45 of Saturday Night Live, with musical guest King Princess.
