“Nobody’s Son”: Karate, Censors, and a bold Performance
Carpenter didn’t shy away from pushing boundaries with her musical performances. During “Nobody’s Son,” she delivered a dynamic performance incorporating karate in a dojo setting. More notably,the song included unedited expletives - “He sure f–ked me up (ah-ah)” – that slipped past Peacock’s censors. It’s a moment that sparked conversation and raised questions about network standards.
“Middle School Lovin'”: A hilariously Awkward Dance
Bowen Yang, though absent from the studio due to a prior commitment (receiving the Vantage Award at the academy Museum Gala), still made a memorable impact. He appeared in the pre-taped sketch “Middle School Lovin’,” a music video depicting the chaotic energy of a middle school dance.
The sketch centered around aggressively grinding teenagers, a sight that visibly distressed Kenan Thompson’s character. He was seen desperately adding alcohol to his coffee, lamenting the lack of such displays of affection in his youth. It was a brilliantly awkward and relatable portrayal of generational differences.

Weekend Update: The Movie Guy’s Unique Taste
Weekend Update delivered its usual dose of sharp political commentary from Colin Jost and Michael Che. The segment then welcomed Marcello Hernández, SNL’s resident “Movie Guy.”
Hernández’s recommendations were… unconventional.He hadn’t seen recent horror releases like Black Phone 2 or weapons, nor classics like The Exorcist. Instead, he praised Family Guy’s Stewie griffin (“football-shaped head looks like a vagina destroyer”) and confused Shrek with a Michael Meyers film, pondering the anxieties of a lovely woman’s drinking habits. It was a delightfully bizarre and unpredictable segment.

Washing Machine Sketch: A Surprisingly Sensual Appliance Sale
Kenan thompson’s appliance salesman found himself in a peculiar situation. He attempted to sell a washing machine to Andrew Dismukes and Ashley Padilla, who were seeking a bargain.
Thompson then introduced a pair of singing, dancing, and grinding washing machines (played by Carpenter and new cast member Veronika Slowikowska). The machines, set to “power wash,” proved irresistible to Dismukes, making for a hilariously suggestive sales pitch.
