The best moments from the Dec. 20 episode of Saturday Night Live, featuring host Ariana Grande and musical guest Cher.

“Saturday Night Live” honored Rob Reiner after the director’s tragic death. During its final episode of the year Saturday, the sketch comedy series flashed a tribute card of Reiner on the screen before the goodnight segment. The tribute featured an old image of the late director and his name.

It was revealed Friday that Yang would exit the sketch comedy series following the last episode of 2025, hosted by his 'Wicked' co-star Ariana Grande.

Yang’s departure announcement has become national news. In hindsight, it makes sense. He’s provided some continuity during a transition period for the cast, and now gets his own Cecily Strong-style send-off. It’s wild to think, but he quickly outgrew the show in a short amount of time. Good luck to him. We are officially in the Ashley Padilla era!?

There will be a new episode of “SNL” on Saturday, Dec. 20 and it will be the last one for the year. Ariana Grande is expected to host with musical guest Cher. This isn’t the first time Grande will be hosting “SNL” as she hosted back in October 2024 and served as the musical guest in September 2014 and March 2024.

On his last episode as a cast member of Saturday Night Live, Bowen Yang got an on-air review from none other than gay icon Cher. “Well, everyone thought you were a little bit too gay,” Cher told him. “But you know what? You’re perfect for me.”

SNL writer Jimmy Fowlie shared a photo of a missing person report for his sister, Christina Downer. The report said that the comedian's 38-year-old sister was last contacted in late November. A Saturday Night Live writer is asking for fans' help finding his sister.

The cold open of the last "SNL" episode of the year ridiculed the Trump administration over its handling of the Epstein files release.
