You’re not gonna believe this (unless you already know): Nate Bargatze hosted SNL. (He was surprised as we were.) He’s a stand-up comedian whose name I recognize, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen him in anything before this. I kind of remember him releasing a well-liked Netflix special a few years ago.

On the other end of the familiarity spectrum, the musical guest was one of the most frequent ever, with Foo Fighters making their ninth appearance (and their first since Taylor Hawkins’ passing, RIP).

Since I’m in an inquisitive mood, I’ve decided to review each of this episode’s sketches with a question.

A Halloween Message From President Joe Biden: Why aren’t the political cold opens this silly more often?

Nate Bargatze’s Monologue: What are all these wild animals doing in Tennessee?

Chef Showdown: Shouldn’t Impossible Catfish taste like actual catfish?

A Stab at Love: Why did they pick Mama of all movies as a comparison point? (It’s a good flick, but a surprising choice, don’t you think?)

American Army Camp: But had the metric system come into use by Revolutionary War times?

“Lake Beach”: Is this just a pollution PSA?

Trick-or-Treating with Fran Drescher: Will this help hasten the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike?

Foo Fighters, “Rescued”: Did they plan ahead to make sure their guitars were all different colors?

Weekend Update: The Jokes: “Some doctors believe”… but not all of them?
Weekend Update: J.J. Gordon: How wonderful is it that Colin Jost gladly goes along with all this reputation-flattening?

Airplane Labor: Whoa, where did all the teacher-haters come from?

Foo Fighters ft. H.E.R., “The Glass”: H.E.R.?

please don’t destroy: Dawg Food: Was that canine actor happy to join the pdd boys?

The guest lineup for the next new episode has been announced as Timothée Chalamet and boygenius, and it’s set to air in two weeks on November 11. (Happy Armistice Day!) Will Timmy have to avoid talking about Wonka, or will the actors’ strike be over by then?
