Episode 119 — Will Ferrell (Season 51)


Listen Later

Will Ferrell is home, and he brought Paul McCartney, Molly Shannon, Chad Smith, Aziz Ansari, and the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein with him. Brad, Nate, and Ben break down the May 16, 2026, season finale of Saturday Night Live (the 1,008th episode in the show's history), hosted by the man widely considered the greatest cast member in the show's history, for the sixth and latest time, with legendary musical guest Paul McCartney.

The guys go sketch by sketch through a star-packed Season 51 sendoff that features the host returning yet again in a cold open, a monologue that required two Rock & Roll Hall of Famers to sort out, a doctor who did something truly unforgivable during a routine gallbladder surgery, a high school drama teacher who never should have been allowed near children, and a nuclear family that should probably just... stay facing forward. Plus, the season finale Joke Swap, where Colin Jost came dangerously close to losing something far more important than his dignity, and a curtain call that traded goodbyes for a surprise encore from a living legend.

Topics include:

- "Cast List 2" — Should a cut-for-time sketch have stayed cut for time, or was the sequel worth it?

- Mikey Day's 200th episode and his near-breaking in "Post-Op"

- Dan Bulla's "Bobbin's Sacrifice"

- "The Nudemans": old-school Ferrell absurdism in 2026. Does it still land?

- The Joke Swap: Jost's hair, Che's jokes, and the bald cap reveal

- Both cut-for-time sketches: "Hormuz Jeff" and "Juicy Toobins"

- The Bradometer

- MVP and Sketch of the Night for Season 51, Episode 20

Season 51 is officially in the books. What a way to go out.
