Saturday Night Live (SNL) continues to captivate audiences with its classic reruns, bringing back memorable sketches and iconic moments from past episodes. Recently, fans had the chance to enjoy the 2025 Halloween weekend episode, featuring actor Miles Teller as the host. This episode stood out not only for Teller’s comedic performance but also for the sharp political satire centered around the controversial politician George Santos.
Bowen Yang’s Unforgettable George Santos Impression
One of the most talked-about moments from this rerun was Bowen Yang’s remarkable impersonation of George Santos, the disgraced congressman. Yang appeared in the beloved Weekend Update segment alongside Colin Jost and Michael Che, delivering a hilarious yet pointed portrayal of Santos fresh out of prison. His character immediately resumed his habit of spinning outrageous lies, including wild tales about winning the World Series and reclaiming his inheritance from the Louvre.
Adding to the comedic chaos, Yang’s Santos proudly told his prison buddy that he was slated to host Saturday Night Live, underscoring the absurdity of the character and cementing the sketch as a standout political satire that resonated strongly with viewers.
Miles Teller Shines as a Nashville Predator
Another memorable sketch featured Miles Teller playing an NHL player from the Nashville Predators. The sketch was framed as a Public Service Announcement (PSA) highlighting the charity efforts of NHL teams, including the Los Angeles Kings and New York Rangers, represented by Ben Marshall and Tommy Brennan. While the Kings and Rangers played with lighthearted wordplay around their team names, Teller’s portrayal of a Predator unintentionally sparked laughs due to some very poorly chosen lines.
In a comedic twist, Teller described himself as a “Predator in his community,” a phrase that quickly derailed the sketch. As the scene progressed, directors Ashley Padilla and Andrew Dismukes forced Teller to continue, leading to even more awkward moments, such as him mentioning hospital visits to “make sick kids feel touched” and a confusing comment about traveling to Thailand to “rub off on some kids,” which humorously twisted the meaning of charity work.
The Women of SNL Star in a Hilarious True Crime Parody
This episode also featured a clever parody of a Netflix true crime docuseries titled “Gone Without A Trace.” The sketch turned the stereotype of men not listening to their wives into a comedic horror story. Three men, played by Keenan Thompson, Ben Marshall, and Miles Teller, mistakenly believe their wives (Sarah Sherman, Ashley Padilla, and Veronika Slowikowska) have disappeared. In reality, their spouses were simply out visiting family, on work trips, or even just using the bathroom.
The clueless husbands’ panicked calls to the police and their inability to manage the household or care for their children without their wives provide a humorous look at relationship dynamics and communication gaps in a lighthearted yet relatable way.
SNL’s Newsroom Sketch Goes Hilariously Wrong
The episode wrapped up with a chaotic newsroom sketch starring Chloe Fineman and Keenan Thompson. They discussed pressing global issues during a live broadcast in a newly renovated studio designed to showcase all the behind-the-scenes staff. Unfortunately, the transparency backfired when pandemonium broke out behind them: Mikey Day collided with a wall while carrying a tray of juices, Bowen Yang got electrocuted by a printer, and Miles Teller angrily complained about getting reported to HR as he logged into his computer—only to reveal an inappropriate backdrop.
