“SNL” returned for the fourth episode of its 50th season on October 19 with host Michael Keaton and musical guest Billie Eilish.

“SNL” returned to the air on October 19 for the fourth episode of its 50th season with Michael Keaton as host, Billie Eilish as musical guest and a surprise appearance by Alec Baldwin in the show’s political opener.

Keaton, fresh off the success of Tim Burton’s highly anticipated sequel “Beetlejuice,” was joined by a number of Betelgeuse impersonators, played by Mikey Day and Andy Samberg.

Samberg said he was “unable” to squeeze in a performance as Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff on the show, but was happy to perform his Keaton-as-Betelgeuse impersonation, an impersonation he tried (and failed ) on “SNL” during his performance. perform as a cast member.

Throughout season 50, Samberg (as Emhoff), Maya Rudolph (as Kamala Harris), Dana Carvey (as Joe Biden), and Jim Gaffigan (as Tim Walz) were seen in the political cold. This time, however, Rudolph was paired with Fox News host Bret Baier, played by Alec Baldwin.

Baldwin has hosted “SNL” a record 17 times and appeared regularly as Donald Trump in the 2010s. However, since the 2020 election, his appearances have been very rare.

This was only Baldwin’s second guest appearance on ‘Saturday Night Live’ since he fired a gun on the set of the film ‘Rust’, resulting in the death of choreographer Halyna Hutchins. (A judge dismissed Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter trial in July.)

Watch the videos below to see highlights from the return of ‘SNL,’ including another sequel to the show’s hit TikTok sketch series, Billie Eilish performing ‘Wildflower’ live, and all the guests joining Colin Jost and Michael Che during the “Weekend Update” desk.
