Watch Will Ferrell’s Saturday Night Live Sketches and Monologue with Chad Smith on May 16

Will Ferrell recently hosted the Season 51 finale of Saturday Night Live, bringing laughter and surprise with appearances from Molly Shannon, Aziz Ansari, Paul McCartney, and his celebrity lookalike Chad Smith. The night was filled with standout sketches, including a Jeffrey Epstein-Trump cold open, a hilarious “Post-Op” scene, and a musical parody of Lord of the Rings.

Ferrell’s monologue kicked off the show with a twist when Chad Smith crashed the stage in an identical grey suit, leading to a comedic exchange with Paul McCartney. The former Beatle even joked about their lookalike resemblance, urging Smith to get back behind the drums where he belonged.

The performances were top-notch, with Chad Smith backing McCartney on drums for three songs, and the show even released a fun “Cut for Time” bit about smuggling through the Strait of Hormuz.

Overall, the Season 51 finale was a great way to end the season, with Ferrell’s comedic genius shining alongside the surprise guest appearances that added an extra layer of fun and entertainment. If you missed the episode, you can catch Saturday Night Live on NBC and Peacock, where you can stream all the sketches and enjoy the full lineup of talented cast members and hosts.
