Which is why it can be so frustrating to see Taylor \u2014 who has clear comedic and dramatic chops in equal measure \u2014 be given middling material on the late-nighter. The evening kicked off with a flat note, even as Taylor and Kenan Thompson literally hit the right ones during an airport sketch where they play two staff workers informing passengers via song that their flights are woefully delayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of a singing duo, Shrimp &amp; Grits, the two parody famous tracks to let the impatient crowd know there\u2019s \u201cno wings\u201d on their plane. When the wings are located, James Austin Johnson\u2019s pilot is unfortunately drunk \u2014 news he delivers by covering a couple of lines from \u201cBlame It\u201d and \u201c4 Minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In \u201cNFL on ESPN,\u201d what begins as typical coverage of the AFC Championship Game by Joe Buck (Johnson), Troy Aikman (Andrew Dismukes), and Lisa Salters (Taylor) quickly devolves into a promo for a new show called \u201cQuefs,\u201d which is \u201ca steamy new lesbian culinary drama\u201d that ends up guest-starring Gavin Newsom. Here, as later in the episode, much of the humor comes from the one-note joke about \u201cQuefs\u201d sounding like a certain other word missing an extra \u201ce.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Capping off the episode is a stand-alone, pretaped sketch from Martin Herlily that eschews Taylor as a guest star entirely. While funny enough \u2014 Herlily stars as a man increasingly desperate to get his girlfriend to break up with him in this on-brand tongue-in-cheek skit \u2014 it\u2019ll be interesting to see if\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/snl\/\">SNL<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>will release another cut-for-time sketch with Taylor (as it did for last week\u2019s host Finn Wolfhard) tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite some misses, some of the material gave Taylor breadth to play. In one uproarious sketch, she stars as an eightysomething grandpa to Kam Patterson\u2019s newlywed. Despite using a walker, Taylor \u2014 donning a bald cap and fake belly \u2014 can\u2019t resist the groove when the DJ (Mikey Day) plays the infectious music of Earth, Wind &amp; Fire. At one point, she\u2019s doubled over and grinding on Ashley Padilla\u2019s bride, and at another, a stunt actor is called in to gleefully breakdance. When the patriarch collapses, Johnson\u2019s doctor solemnly informs the family that his \u201cbones are all gone\u201d and turned to \u201cpowder.\u201d Before panic can set in, the DJ jumps to the rescue, reviving Gramps\u2019 hips with the power of music. (Before\u00a0<em>SNL<\/em>\u00a0cut to commercial, Taylor could be seen continuing to tear up the dance floor, as a crew member moved to usher her to her next sketch, exemplifying her joyful commitment to the bit.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An obligatory and pretaped \u201cToy Commercial\u201d sketch spoofed a series of\u00a0<em>One Battle After Another\u00a0<\/em>action figures for children, the humor of which largely leaned on how mature the themes of the film are for kids. For example, Leonardo DiCaprio\u2019s burnout revolutionary comes equipped with a joint, while Benicio Del Toro\u2019s sensei relies on \u201ca few small beers.\u201d In a final kicker, Mattel has even released a \u201cPTA master set,\u201d featuring Daniel Day-Lewis\u2019s \u201cI\u2019ve abandoned my child\u201d monologue from\u00a0<em>There Will Be Blood.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another decent standout is \u201cBackstab Island,\u201d featuring Taylor as the sole reality show contestant who\u2019s genuinely there to make friends. The sketch includes some zingers: \u201cMy personality disorder is my greatest advantage,\u201d Chloe Fineman\u2019s character quips. \u201cI\u2019m here to burn bridges and show off my body on TV,\u201d says Marcello Hernandez\u2019s contestant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, keeping in tradition with what Season 51 has showcased all year, Padilla nails it in \u201cConfidence Class,\u201d playing self-help coach Cassidy Flask, who could use a little guidance herself. The writing here is sharp, the visual aids are brilliant, and Padilla is so dialed in that her breaks seem completely earned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In \u201cBeyond the Headlines,\u201d&nbsp;<em>SNL<\/em>&nbsp;seems to do a more solemn version of&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NGqtZmShIkw\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cMid-Day News,\u201d<\/a>&nbsp;the bygone&nbsp;<em>SNL<\/em>&nbsp;segment that featured alumna Ego Nwodim and Thompson as two anchors struggling to hide their reactions when the races of certain criminals are revealed. What starts off as a strong political commentary \u2014 in which Day and Fineman\u2019s journalists awkwardly attempt to characterize the U.S. as anything but aggressive toward policing and imperialism (Thompson at one point quips, \u201cHas she met America?\u201d) \u2014 loses steam when it loses focus. Instead of leaning into the disparities between the two Americas experienced by the privileged and the marginalized, respectively, the sketch plays it a bit tame when Taylor concludes the segment with: \u201cNext up, we talk to a woman whose job was replaced by AI; not artificial intelligence but former NBA star Allen Iverson.\u201d (It\u2019s worth noting:&nbsp;<em>SNL<\/em>&nbsp;Season 51 is the first time in a decade where&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2025\/10\/sherri-shepherd-snl-black-woman-hire-ego-nwodim-1236571801\/\">no Black women are represented in the cast<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On \u201cWeekend Update,\u201d co-anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che went after President Donald Trump (and his supposed plans for Greenland) and ICE. Meanwhile, guests on the desk were Hernandez (serving as a&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/dw0ifECyfPI\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cGen Z translator\u201d<\/a>&nbsp;for Jost with the standout line: \u201cBasically Black people start saying something, then young people think it\u2019s cool so they start saying it, then white people say it, and once Elon Musk says it, it\u2019s over.\u201d) and Jeremy Culhane (playing a character named&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xcukqIKHLIM\" target=\"_blank\">Mr. On Blast<\/a>, or as Jost deemed him \u2014 \u201ca blackjack dealer on a Disney cruise\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In its debut, Brooklyn-based alt-rock band and sensation Geese performed tracks \u201cAu pays du
