Jeff “jmunney” Malone watches every new episode of Saturday Night Live and then reviews all the sketches and segments according to a “wacky” theme.
For the Halloween* episode of 2026, SNL opted for an appreciably spooky booking. (*-Well, to be fully accurate, most of the episode aired on November 1 local time.

Inde Naverrette is the breakout star of the buzziest horror hit of the year, so this episode is reminiscent of another outing from way back in Season 7 that started airing on October 31.
