Beetlejuice Beetlejuice actor Michael Keaton hosted Saturday evening live his fourth turn on the Studio 8H stage on October 19. The evening’s sketches included a Halloween sequel to Adam Driver’s chocolate Santa sketch from season 49, a new Please Don’t Destroy short, and a cold open that saw the return of Alec Baldwin (who still holds the record for hosting movies ). SNL the most).

In two bits of show synchronicity, Keaton’s SNL debut in 1982 was too a Halloween episode – aimed at someone best known for playing a pair of very different characters who both dwell in the shadows – And his 2015 monologue paid tribute to both Batman and Beetlejuice. In a callback to the latter, cast member Mikey Day and alum Andy Samberg both joined Keaton onstage in full striped suit cosplay to showcase their talent for embodying “the spirit with the most.”

“Don’t you normally play Doug Emhoff in the cold opens?” Keaton asked Samberg.

“Yeah, the writers couldn’t stop him this week,” Samberg explained, sliding back to Beetlejuice to add, “So this is where we find ourselves!” The pair eventually persuaded the actor to join in, and he did was satisfactory.
