[@billyeveryteen7328]

Major props to the casting director, because those kids were fantastic. I loved the weird mix of emotions on the one boy's face when he was called "every gay man over 50."

[@spikedmo]

It accurately describes who that kid will have to blow to make it in the entertainment industry.

[@jeremylahr7034]

​@@spikedmo💀💀💀

[@sonablom]

Agreed, the kids were great.

[@steve_santiago]

Even the little girl who played Hoda waited for the audience to stop laughing from the previous joke until she said her line. ☺️

[@catsupchutney]

In the back of his mind: "Is this foreshadowing my future self?"

[@jf7098]

The way the young girl playing Hoda delivered the line: The wig is fake but the wine is real! 😂 I couldn't breathe i was laughing so hard. These kids were awesome.👏

I like that she started but caught herself and held for the applause to die down. Already and itsy bitsy pro

My biggest laugh of the night. Would love to see Hoda's reaction on Monday.

[@hellobecky84]

Little Hoda was especially good lol, and you can see her hold back the line a beat because her introduction gets a big laugh from the audience. Such pros these kids

[@michellepricejawers2028]

I noticed that... Wonder if it was taught to her or came naturally

[@FTNChicken]

I love that the sketch was sort of making fun of the SAG-AFTRA rules on Halloween, but was also going through each of the rules in an informative way. Also, Sarah Sherman's a legend

[@SilverPlayer2002]

Same policy went for the writers. All they want is just a LITTLE bit of “Kit Kats” from the record breaking number of “Kit Kats” the studios make and could easily afford to drop the equivalent of a penny in the bucket for their pay raises.

[@FreakieFan]

I dont think they’re making fun of the strike. This very much felt like a sponsored sketch by the SAG union with all the forced information and politics.

[@3playerpolitics]

​@@FreakieFanAh yes, being portrayed as pedantic, unreasonable and mean to children. What a wonderful paid ad!

[@Heartwing13]

@@FreakieFan I mean the writers just got off strike. I don’t the SAG union had to pay them. It’s called solidarity.

​@@rodneyboehner3007youre clueless, the sag strike doesnt apply to this type of show. Lmao

[@rodneyboehner3007]

@@briannadean4372 Brah, the stike should apply to SNL because it is using actors and extras to the detriment to the SAG-AFTRA stirke, while benefiting of one of labor's targets, Universal-NBC. NBC is also clearly taking cheap shots at SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher and the strike with this sketch. Use your brain, ∂µmmy!!! THIS STETCH IS TAKING A CHEAP SHOT AT THE STRIKE AND LABOR!

Little kids that appear in SNL sketches are usually mute; little more than props. Not this time! These kids were completely adorable. Especially little Hoda and little Fran! And did you see little Barbie wink at the camera? That was great! This is my favorite sketch so far this season.

3:48-4:47 Her trick-or-treat analogy is a really good way to explain the whole point of the SAG strike. God, I love Sarah, her chaotic energy is just the best.

[@canaisyoung3601]

Considering that the SAG-AFTRA strike ended by the time the next new episode (the second time Timothee Chalamet hosted) was being made, do you think this sketch had something to do with it, or is it just a coincidence?

[@magazineretriever9036]

"The wig is fake, but the wine is real!" -- Little Hoda 😆

Little Hoda nailed her lines. Total professional already!

The Fran Drescher impersonator was like if you had to impersonate Fran Drescher after only ever having seen someone on Hollywood Blvd doing an impression. Fran Drescher has like a dozen unique qualities to her voice and mannerisms and the woman playing her nailed about… a quarter of one of those qualities lol.

It was a caricature, not an impersonation.

[@hi-ccowboy7983]

As the parent of working child actors, I am happy that the majority of these comments are in acknowledgement of the talent of these children. I would just like to note, that MOST working child actors are AT LEAST this talented. It is truly not a RARITY. What is a rare, however, is these young performers getting the respect and recognition that their talents and works are due. I hope that after these strikes are over, the plight of the child actor becomes the next thing brought to the table, because we are still miles away from making it right for them. Also, this was brilliant 🎉
