There is nothing quite like airport travel during the week of Thanksgiving.
Saturday Night Live took a look inside Newark Airport (everyone’s third choice) ahead of the holiday, poking fun at some of the common characters one can expect to see before their flight.
There’s the woman traveling with three emotional support dogs, the woman who took her Ambien too early, and the couple that is never taking another Thanksgiving trip again.
And then there’s the frisky airline pilot, Captain Gary Rogers, played by host Jason Momoa. Seated inside the airport’s Chili’s to-go, Captain Gary introduces himself by flirting with a female TSA agent, Chartreuse (played by Ego Nwodim). She and Gary have a flirtation going on, she says, and she’s trying to be “tappin the captain.”

“Just so you know, I give every woman I sleep with one of these nice wing pins,” Momoa’s character says, flicking one of the pins in the TSA agent’s direction.
The next time we see Captain Gary, he’s getting properly drunk inside the Chili’s to-go. As the sketch ends, Chartreuse is seemingly nowhere to be found. When she reappears with Captain Gary, he reassures that she was just “getting her wings.”
Watch the sketch below.

Saturday Night Live is ending the year with a bang!
Some of the biggest stars in the world have hosted Saturday Night Live over the years!
This year has really been an odd (and ultimately bad) year for DC superhero films. Even when you take the quality of the products out of the picture, the box office results from each DC superhero film from this year (including “Shazam! Fury of the Gods,” “The Flash,” and “Blue Beetle”) has been abysmal.
Saturday Night Live poked fun at Imagine Dragons at the weekend with a parody band that had an uncanny resemblance to them.In the show’s ‘Weekend Update’ segment, host Colin Jost introduced the show’s “back-up musical guests” in the form of Remember Lizards – not to be confused with Imagine Dragons apparently – played by Andrew Dismukes and James Austin Johnson. The parody band acknowledged their similarity with the band and said their music was “a similar genre”, describing it as “uplifting kid friendly hip hop slash arena rock with a pump up edge.”However, in a comedic move to separate themselves from the real Imagine Dragons, they clarified that the Dan Reynolds-fronted band is “Christian-curious,” while Remember Lizards is “decidedly Christian.”Remember Lizards then performed snippets of a parody song, ‘Chemical (Poison)’ which sounded notably like Imagine Dragons’ own hit ‘Believer’.
Tate McRae has performed her hits ‘Greedy’ and ‘Grave’ on this week’s Saturday Night Live – watch her appearance on the show below.McRae was appearing on the long-running US Saturday night show alongside host Jason Momoa.Last week’s musical guests on the show were Boygenius alongside host Timothée Chalamet.

Before Billie Jean King defeated Bobby Riggs, there was another Battle of the Sexes. At least, that’s what happened in Saturday Night Live‘s revisionist history.
Even the Saturday Night Live writers can’t stop thinking about the Roman Empire.

Jason Momoa took the reins as the guest host of Saturday Night Live this week and mentioned his love of playing DC superhero Aquaman and how it has been a full-circle moment for him.
Emma Stone is returning to Saturday Night Live for the fifth time.
