Overview
- The Nov. 8 episode marked Glaser’s first time hosting Saturday Night Live with first-time musical guest Sombr.
- Coverage says her opening monologue ran roughly nine to ten minutes and included references to Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, sex trafficking, rape and child molestation.
- Viewer responses on social media were sharply divided, with some calling the material inappropriate and others praising her willingness to keep her act intact for broadcast.
- Beyond the monologue, Glaser appeared in multiple sketches, and the cold open featured James Austin Johnson as Trump addressing a recent White House incident.
- Sombr performed two songs, “12 to 12” and “Back to Friends,” and Glaser later posted on Instagram that the experience was “a dream,” with no public response to the criticism reported.
