Nate Bargatze made a successful hosting debut on Saturday Night Live (SNL) with his monologue and sketches. The SNL cold open skewered President Biden's age, Britney Spears' book, and House Speaker Mike Johnson, featuring a surprise appearance by Christopher Walken. The musical guest, Foo Fighters, was joined by H.E.R. for an emotional performance. Bargatze joked about growing up going to county fairs in his monologue. The episode largely avoided topical issues and focused on Halloween-themed sketches.
