Overview

• She trades bits with SNL players Sarah Sherman and Tommy Brennan and dubs Marcello Hernández “Mr. Big.”
• The sketch includes a cameo from writer Martin Herlihy, whom she mistakenly treats as a fan while signing his script.
• The episode airs Oct. 18 at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT, marking her first time hosting and second SNL performance.
