Jack Black is officially a Five-Timer, and the Ten to One is here to witness it. Brad, Nate, and Ben break down the April 4, 2026, episode of Saturday Night Live — the 1,004th episode in the show's history — with Jack Black earning his jacket.

The trio goes sketch-by-sketch through the night, from a Charles Barkley cold open that gave James Austin Johnson a night off from Trump, to a self-aware Five-Timers Club monologue that poked fun at its own exhausted premise, to a group of husbands with absolutely nothing in common who somehow knew every word to "Carry On Wayward Son."

Let us know your thoughts! Who was your episode MVP and your favorite sketch of the night? What stood out, and what didn't work? Share your feedback in the comments.

Be good to yourself. Be good to others.

Saturday Night Live has made its way across the pond, and the Ten to One is here for it. Fifty years after Lorne Michaels launched the original in Studio 8H, the very first episode of Saturday Night Live UK aired live from Television Centre in London, and Nate, Brad, and Ben share their thoughts.

SNL legend Tina Fey stepped in as the inaugural host. The episode introduced us to an entirely new cast of eleven British comedians, with a few of them making quite the first impression.

We break down every sketch in order, from the skincare ad that would never make it past NBC censors, to a David Attenborough dream dinner party packed with British icons, to a Hamnet parody featuring a Gen Z Shakespeare with a very distinctive earring. We also cover Weekend Update — where new anchors Ania Magliano and Paddy Young made their debut — including a visit from the only British naval officer currently deployed in Iran: Captain Birdseye. And then the whole episode ended with George Fouracres asking an extremely important question at high speed for 45 seconds. It made very little sense. It was very funny. Don't miss it.

Brad, Nate, and Ben are back, and this week, it's Harry's turn. The guys break down the March 14, 2026, episode of Saturday Night Live, the 1,003rd episode in the show's history, with Harry Styles pulling double duty as host and musical guest for the second time in his career.

The trio goes sketch-by-sketch through the night, from a gas prices cold open built around JAJ's Trump to the pre-taped MAHAspital — a Pitt parody run by RFK Jr. and the MAHA movement — to an Irish step-dancing R&B music video with real heart behind it.

In this episode, we discuss:

The Host: Harry Styles' full SNL history — from One Direction to double duty — and what his second time hosting says about him as a comedic performer or boring Brit.

The Sketches: A full breakdown of the night, including the queerbaiting monologue kiss, MAHAspital, the Sebastian Maniscalco courtroom, Sparkle of the Sea (and the return of Jean K. Jean), Mr. Pooty, White Castle Drive-Thru, She's an Irish Dancer, and Harry For Him.

Weekend Update: Jost and Che on Iran, the Oscars, and Taco Bell, plus Jeremy Culhane debuts his Tucker Carlson, and Mikey Day arrives as the aerial tramway emoji to make everyone at the desk lose it. And of course the Bradometer.

The Awards: We crown our MVP of the Night and debate which sketch deserves the title of Sketch of the Night.

Note: SNL UK premieres this coming Saturday, March 21, on Sky One in the UK and streams the next day on Peacock in the US. Tina Fey is the first-ever host, with musical guest Wet Leg. We share what we know and what we're looking forward to.

Ryan Gosling is back — and so is his laugh. Brad, Nate, and Ben break down the March 7, 2026, episode of Saturday Night Live, the 1,002nd episode in the show's history, and Gosling's fourth time hosting. He arrived at Studio 8H promoting Project Hail Mary (opening March 20). The guys go sketch-by-sketch through a pre-tape-heavy night, debating whether Gosling's legendary inability to keep a straight face is a feature or a bug or a flaw.

In this episode, we discuss:

The Host: Ryan Gosling's SNL legacy.

The Sketches: A full breakdown of the night, including the Harry Styles monologue crash, Otezla (the best fake drug ad since Happy Fun Ball), the dimwitted Cyclopes of Darlor, Monty McTreats and his Dodeedees, the world's most enthusiastic glass-clinking wedding guest, and the sketch where the writers swapped out the notes before air and let Gosling and Padilla fend for themselves.

Weekend Update: Jost and Che on Kristi Noem's "self-deportation" and the Iran war, plus Kenan Thompson as Pastor Update and his bandleader Teddy delivering unhinged gospel tunes. And of course — the Bradometer.

The Awards: We crown our MVP of the Night and debate which sketch deserves the title of Sketch of the Night.

Whether you're here for the Giggle Boy Gosling, the pre-tapes, or just to find out what the Goo-Goo Man is, we've got you covered.

SNL is back! After nearly a month away for the Winter Olympics, Brad, Nate, and Ben reunite to break down the February 28, 2026, episode of Saturday Night Live — the 1,001st episode in the show's history — hosted by Heated Rivalry breakout star Connor Storrie, with musical guest Mumford & Sons.

Storrie arrived at Studio 8H fresh off one of the most buzzed-about TV performances in recent memory, playing closeted Russian hockey player Ilya Rozanov on the HBO Max/Crave hit Heated Rivalry. The timing couldn't have been better: both the U.S. men's and women's hockey teams had just won gold at the 2026 Winter Olympics, and the show pulled in Jack Hughes, Quinn Hughes, Hilary Knight, and Megan Keller for a monologue that had the crowd losing their minds. Oh, and Heated Rivalry co-star Hudson Williams showed up for a surprise appearance mid-episode, with... too much screaming?! You decide.

The guys go sketch-by-sketch through the night, rating everything from a topical Iran War cold open to a very injured stripper, and debate whether Storrie is one of the best first-time hosts in recent memory. Plus: the Bradometer returns, Weekend Update gets the full breakdown, and the guys crown their MVP and Sketch of the Night.

Sketches from This Episode

1. Cold Open – Trump's Iran War Address (James Austin Johnson as Trump, Colin Jost as Pete Hegseth)
2. Monologue – Connor Storrie, with cameos from Jack Hughes, Quinn Hughes, Hilary Knight & Megan Keller
3. Math Quiz – Mr. Fronzi (Marcello Hernández) and his class
4. The Gentlemen's Code – A 19th-century glove-slapping escalation (Storrie, Mikey Day)
5. Ice Skating – A proposal goes sideways at Rockefeller Plaza, featuring surprise guest Hudson Williams
6. Math Tutor – Jock meets stalker-y tutor Dirkus (Ben Marshall) and his equally odd parents (Ashley Padilla, James Austin Johnson)
7. Weekend Update – Colin Jost & Michael Che on the Iran war; featuring:
8. Leg Lengthening – Griff's illegal European surgery (Marcello Hernández on stilts, Storrie with tiny little legs)
9. Office Morale – A colleague pitches a company-wide office dance (Mikey Day, Storrie, and an awkward Mumford & Sons cameo)
10. Stripper – Serj, the exotic dancer, shows up to a Vegas bachelorette party after being "hit by a little car" (Storrie, Ashley Padilla, Sarah Sherman, Veronika Slowikowska, Jane Wickline)

Cut for Time (on YouTube)

1. Car Song – Veronika Slowikowska and Jane Wickline lament the rideshare door handle; Storrie plays the inventor of all the confusing ones
2. The National Workforce of Rethinking Disabilities – Canceled celebrities (Armie Hammer, Jill Zarin, Louis C.K., Kanye West, Bill Cosby, and Michael Che as himself) all blame their misdeeds on Tourette's

*Tell us your MVP and Sketch of the Night in the comments! Did you catch the cut-for-time sketches on YouTube? Do you think Storrie makes a return trip to Studio 8H?*

In this episode of the Ten to One Podcast, Brad, Nate, and Ben dive deep into the January 31, 2026, episode of Saturday Night Live hosted by the surprisingly weird Alexander Skarsgård.

The guys go sketch by sketch through the night, discussing Skarsgård's best and worst performances from a brooding, Viking-themed pre-tape to the high-fashion absurdity of Jane Wickline being an Olympic luger and Ashley Padilla being a mom with a change of heart.

In this episode, we discuss:

1. The Host: Alexander celebrating the 1,000th episode of SNL in a low-key way
2. The Sketches: A full breakdown of the night, including Mom's Confession, Immigrant Dad Talk Show, and Tarzan.
3. Weekend Update: Colin Jost and Michael Che tackle the latest headlines, plus we review the desk segments—including the return of Sarah Sherman doing her thing with Colin Jost, and the hilarious return of Two People Who Just Hooked Up.
4. The Awards: We crown our MVP of the Night and debate which sketch deserves the title of Sketch of the Night.

This week, we’re recapping the January 24, 2026, episode of Saturday Night Live with the talented Teyana Taylor as host.

We break down each sketch from the night and talk about how Teyana’s experience in dance, directing, and acting shows up on the SNL stage. From her energetic monologue to the wildest characters, we look at what worked, what didn’t, and which sketches stood out thanks to her charisma. We also check out the cut-for-time sketches on YouTube and ask if the best material made it to air or if the real highlights ended up online.

Finally, we open the Ten to One Mailbag to answer your questions, share your thoughts on Season 51 so far, and pick our MVP and Sketch of the Night.

Whether you’re here for the technical breakdown or to hear best friends argue over their SNL opinions, grab your headphones and join us for the ultimate SNL post-game show!

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?
