Overview
- Will Forte reprised MacGruber in a trio of pre-taped sketches during the Nov. 15–16 episode hosted by Glen Powell.
- The sketches centered on MacGruber discovering his name on an “Epstein list” tied to the recently released files reportedly totaling about 20,000 pages.
- In-character efforts to cover his tracks included shredding the document, heavy redaction, writing in teammates’ names, and strapping a copy to the bomb.
- Chloe Fineman and Powell played his teammates in the bomb-defusal setup, with dialogue invoking potential pressure through “money” and “pardons.”
- The installment marked the 11th set of MacGruber shorts on SNL since 2007, extending a franchise that includes a 2010 film and a 2021 Peacock series.
