Saturday Night Live kicked off an all new season with a star-studded, wonderfully meta cold open!
Saturday Night Livejoined 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 indignantly replied,"Well, I heard they rarely put the hosts in cold open, so when they do, it is special."By using the sketch-within-a-sketch conceit, the show managed to not only poke fun at themselves, they got a chance to introduce all the new castmembers while also ingratiating themselves to new audiences with a bit of self-deprecation.airs live, coast-to-coast, at 11:30 p.m. ET, 8:30 p.m. PT on NBC.
