The Ten to One crew is back with a brand-new recap—Nate, Ben, and Brad break down Saturday Night Live (Jan. 17, 2026) featuring first-time host Finn Wolfhard.

We go sketch-by-sketch through Finn’s debut on Studio 8H, from Colin Jost’s Pete Hegseth impression in the cold open to a monologue full of “grown-up former child star” jokes (plus surprise appearances by Gaten Matarazzo and Caleb McLaughlin), to the night’s big swings and occasional misses. 

We also dig into returning favorites like “Snack Homiez” (with Sabrina Carpenter popping back in) and the sci-fi silliness of “Dark Orbit”.

And of course, we hit Weekend Update and the Brad-o-meter.

Which sketches stood out as the highs, which ones fell flat, and where does this one rank in the season so far? Listen along.

This week on the Ten to One, we recap and review the latest episode of Saturday Night Live with first-time host Josh O’Connor.

We go sketch-by-sketch through a holiday-leaning episode packed with awkward moments, a familiar character from Bowen Yang, and a nice standup bit from Marcello Hernandez, among other things.

• The Air Force One press conference cold open and another spin on Trump-world chaos
• Josh O’Connor’s monologue (including his funny Ratatouille casting bit)
• Teaching Hospital and the return of Bowen Yang’s Dr. Please
• Uber Eats Wrapped, the painfully relatable stats that Ben would not like to see
• Bachelorette Party Strippers, featuring the “sensitive strippers.”
• Characters on Characters, pairing iconic Christmas figures for very serious actor talk, with a Brad-nit-pick
• Weekend Update, including bits from Marcello Hernández and Jane Wickline
• The night’s holiday extras: Brad and His Dad: Christmas, Wizard of Oz Deleted Footage, and more

We close it out with our picks for Sketch of the Night, the episode MVP, and where Josh O’Connor’s hosting debut lands in the Season 51 rankings.

Listen now and let us know: where'd we get it wrong, what are your thoughts on Jane Wickline so far, and what was your favorite sketch of the night?
