Miles Teller, Brandi Carlile.Best: Weekend Update: Two People Who Just Hooked Up Discuss the Government Shutdown
Dismukes and Padilla appeared on the Weekend Update as two people who had just hooked up. While discussing Trump building a ballroom during the Government Shutdown, their conversation became full of innuendos.
"Well, typically during a shutdown, you wouldn't see a President continuing with a project of this size," Padilla said.
"Democrats just need to say, 'Look, it's too big. Would you be willing to try something smaller?' " Dismukes commented, while gazing into Padilla's eyes.
"Yeah, who knows. Republicans might even say, 'smaller sounds great,' " Padilla replied flirtatiously.
Best: White House Makeover
Teller played the host of a property makeover show called The Property Brothers alongside James Austin Johnson as Trump and Chloe Fineman as Melania.
Having shared his desire for the new ballroom to be huge, SNL's Trump was told his renovations would be delayed because he deported all of the construction workers.
"James Austin Johnson's🤣😅😂 Trump impersonation is so good that when he does it, I actually see Trump," a viewer commented on YouTube. "He even has the neck right. Also, Chloe does a great Melania accent."
"Best skit in a long time," said another person.
"The concept, camerawork and JAJ make this the best skit of the season for me so far," someone else wrote.
Worst: Miles Teller's Monologue
Teller spoke about dressing up as the Roxbury Guys as a child for Halloween, before joking about how much alcohol he drank before appearing on the show. He also spoke about his family losing their home during the Palisades fire.
Viewers said in the comment section on YouTube that they didn't find many of the jokes in the Top Gun: Maverick star's monologue funny.
"What a terrible monologue, haha, but hey, he's a cool guy," one person wrote.
"Wow, he was so embarrassed and shy," another commenter chimed in. "He looked like he hated every minute of it. I was sitting here cringing and feeling very uncomfortable with my second-hand embarrassment. Poor Miles."

Worst: Italian Restaurant Date
Teller and Marcello Hernández played two waiters who interrupt a couple's date at an Italian restaurant with their flirtatious jokes. Kenan Thompson appeared as the eatery's chef.
Several viewers said the sketch needed more work to make the jokes funny, while other YouTube commenters complained about Italians being mocked.
"That was some last-minute s— they threw together and relied on s— on Italians to make it funny," one wrote.
"Wait - ethnic stereotypes are funny now?" another commented..
"This is a less funny version of the classic skit with Dana Carvey, Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider," said a third person.
Oops: Brandi Carlile: "Church & State"
During the episode, Carlile performed "Church & State" from her latest album, Returning to Myself. Viewers loved the song, but several complained that the sound quality wasn't great.
"Why is the audio for SNL musical guest videos always so bad?" one person commented.
"Something is off with the harmonies and the backup singer mix," said another.
Viewers shared another oops moment on Reddit after being surprised by how the episode ended.
"What happened after the last sketch? It abruptly cut to several bumper images for what seemed like a long time, like it was unplanned," one person said.
"We didn't get any goodnights here. The stupid Italian sketch, a couple seconds of SNL band and that was it," another said.
"Live broadcast for me cut mid good nights. It was running long, it happens," someone else commented.
SNL has a slew of stars ready to host and perform next, including Nikki Glaser and Sombr, plus Glen Powell and Olivia Dean.
