Will Ferrell is home, and he brought Paul McCartney, Molly Shannon, Chad Smith, Aziz Ansari, and the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein with him. Brad, Nate, and Ben break down the May 16, 2026, season finale of Saturday Night Live (the 1,008th episode in the show's history), hosted by the man widely considered the greatest cast member in the show's history, for the sixth and latest time, with legendary musical guest Paul McCartney.

The guys go sketch by sketch through a star-packed Season 51 sendoff that features the host returning yet again in a cold open, a monologue that required two Rock & Roll Hall of Famers to sort out, a doctor who did something truly unforgivable during a routine gallbladder surgery, a high school drama teacher who never should have been allowed near children, and a nuclear family that should probably just... stay facing forward. Plus, the season finale Joke Swap, where Colin Jost came dangerously close to losing something far more important than his dignity, and a curtain call that traded goodbyes for a surprise encore from a living legend.

Topics include:

- "Cast List 2" — Should a cut-for-time sketch have stayed cut for time, or was the sequel worth it?

- Mikey Day's 200th episode and his near-breaking in "Post-Op"

- Dan Bulla's "Bobbin's Sacrifice"

- "The Nudemans": old-school Ferrell absurdism in 2026. Does it still land?

- The Joke Swap: Jost's hair, Che's jokes, and the bald cap reveal

- Both cut-for-time sketches: "Hormuz Jeff" and "Juicy Toobins"

- The Bradometer

- MVP and Sketch of the Night for Season 51, Episode 20

Matt Damon is back in Studio 8H for the third time, and he brought Brett Kavanaugh with him. Brad, Nate, and Ben break down the May 9, 2026, episode of Saturday Night Live, the 1,007th episode in the show's history and the penultimate episode of Season 51, hosted by the Oscar-winning star of the upcoming Christopher Nolan epic The Odyssey, with musical guest (and fellow New Englander) Noah Kahan returning for his second appearance.

The guys go sketch by sketch through a surprisingly strong penultimate episode, including a cold open that reunited Damon's beloved Brett Kavanaugh with Colin Jost's Pete Hegseth and a surprise second week of Aziz Ansari as Kash Patel, a pre-taped cat litter ad that spiraled into domestic chaos, a Mom Movie Trailer tailor-made for Ashley Padilla, a block party full of guys who are decidedly not tough, and a season-closing Auctioneers sketch that might be the most linguistically impressive thing SNL has pulled off in years. Plus, a 17-minute Weekend Update featuring Jeremy Culhane's Tucker Carlson at the Met Gala, two kamikaze military dolphins, and a Jane Wickline song that is somehow both deeply relatable and a complete rebuke of basic social responsibility.

Topics include:

• The Kavanaugh impression: still got it?
• Is Auctioneers the sketch of the season?
• Ashley Padilla continues her case for cast MVP
• The Bradometer results
• And the penultimate Player of the Night

Olivia Rodrigo pulled double duty on the May 2, 2026 episode of Saturday Night Live — the 1,006th episode in the show's history — and Brad, Nate, and Ben are here to break down every sketch from what was arguably one of the best episodes of Season 51.

From a Bug Planet zoo exhibit to a Rideshare driver who simply cannot stop being a dancehall artist, the writers leaned hard into Rodrigo's musical gift and delivered an episode packed with absurdist comedy, physical gags, and a few genuine surprises. Oh, and Aziz Ansari showed up as Kash Patel. Sure.

In this episode, the guys cover:

• Cold Open: Ansari crashes the Hegseth press briefing as the FBI Director himself
• Monologue: Real IDs, Jake Paul, and a very emotional "Drivers License" rewrite
• Edge of Destiny: Rodrigo as an 80s soap opera villain with a very long staircase
• Midnight Matinee: My Room: A Bug Planet love story that may live forever
• Shop TV: Lava Cake: The recurring sketch returns. The fudge hole has returned.
• My Ex: Ashley Padilla and a plate of mashed potatoes walk into a birthday party...
• Busted: An Isley Brothers parody with some very suspicious closet residents
• Rasta Rideshare: Andrew Dismukes cannot escape his destiny. We cannot escape it either.
• SafeGuard Viral Videos: TikTok influencers, now with a purpose
• Weekend Update: Jost, Che, Alix Earle, and the Bradometer

Plus: the guys hand out Sketch of the Night, crown the Episode MVP, and debate whether this episode stacks up against Sabrina Carpenter's double-duty turn earlier in the season.
