Hi all — the infamous SNL in Review episode guide is here, for your reading pleasure.
Tonight should be a fun one – Nikki Glaser is hosting. It’s overdue, I am pretty sure she’s been circling a host appearance for a minute now. Always enjoy a good stand-up driven show! She’ll be joined by fellow SNL first-timer Sombr as the musical guest.
I am joined tonight by the fantastic John Milhiser. He says: “I love Nikki. I’ve been a fan of her for many years. I saw her backstage a few years ago and she remembered my name. I was honored. I met her way back in the day in New York. Our paths may have crossed once or twice but she’s always been super nice. I remember how exciting it was when she and Sara Schaefer got their show Nikki and Sara Live on MTV. And now she’s hosting SNL. God, I love the climb. ‘It’s the climb.’ – Miley Cyrus.” Yes!

Almost 85 percent of you seemed to enjoy last week’s episode with Miles Teller. Hopefully that holds for tonight!
Cold Open
It’s the White House, and pharmaceutical leaders like the CEO of Eli Lilly are discussing lowering the drugs in the Oval Office when someone passes out. RFK Jr. sprints out of the room. Trump (James Austin Johnson) freezes time, and delivers a monologue. This is ripped from the news, our dark timeline. Dr. Oz is on the case.
Trump discusses this week’s elections, and how they are a rebuke of his policies. Well, he says, they’re actually Stephen Miller’s! The modern SNL cold open comfort food — just JAJ monologuing as our current President.
Other topics: SNAP! He talks about the terrible issues going on with airline travel and the government shutdown. Next up! “Stealing Christmas!”
Monologue
Glaser confidently comes on stage with a mic and jokes about being at Epstein’s original island. Like the cold open, she’s holding court on the news of the day and other topics: getting a spray tan (like Trump!), what she does after getting her nails done, her boyfriend’s height. She’s been obsessed with slavery lately. She bought a lot of Gen Z friends. She jokes they’re safe with her out in public, as she has “resting Ghislaine face.” I can’t do this justice — it’s pretty funny, watch it!
Earlier this year, Glaser memorably hosted the Golden Globes, striking the balance for what can be an occasionally thankless gig. Milhiser concurs, saying, “she was smart, funny, and charming. She was the moment and now she’s the DECADE.”
He adds: “I love her work ethic. I also loved her reality show, Welcome Home Nikki Glaser, where you got a glimpse into her family life and her hometown. It was really endearing to see where she came from and how connected she is to her roots. I love her Mom. It was at the end of the pandemic yet she still grinded to find a way to make content. I’m just realizing now that I’ll watch anything Nikki Glaser does.” Yes! Fitting words, since she’s currently holding court at 8H.
