Last week marked the return of Saturday Night Live with the first of its final three episodes for Season 51. Olivia Rodrigo took center stage, wearing two hats as both the host and musical guest. She captivated audiences with her performances of “drop dead” and “begged.” A standout moment from the night was the delightfully quirky sketch “My Room,” which captured the evening’s whimsical spirit.
An additional highlight came from Kam Patterson’s appearance on Weekend Update. Patterson made history as the first new cast member to feature in three consecutive Weekend Updates since Will Forte back in Season 28. Kudos to Saturday Night Network for sharing that interesting tidbit!
