has undergone a lot of retooling over the summer — with a lot of castmembers exiting the show and four new actors signing on. So they made sure to address the slew of differences with a self-referential cold-open featuring the night's host,Miles Teller.Teller played Payton Manning, joined by his brother Eli Manning (Andrew Dismukes), as they live-commented on the cold-open sketch, and brutally criticized the sketch.The bit got even more meta when Jon Hamm joined Payton and Eli as a special guest commentator and all three of them got in on the fun of making fun of the cast's gaffes in the sketch-within-a-sketch.At one point, Shawn White showed up for a one-line cameo and Hamm joked, «Well, you know, sometimes they need to bring in a real celebrity when the host isn't that famous… I mean, they couldn't get the star of the big summer movie, like, Tom Cruise or John Hamm, they had to get the costar.»Payton (again, played by Teller, the night's host) indignantly replied, «Well, I heard they rarely put the hosts in cold open, so when they do, it is special.»«Special?
