It happened: Geese performed on SNL for the first time last night, a month after frontman Cameron Winter was parodied on the show. The Brooklyn rock band — which along with Winter includes drummer Max Bassin, guitarist Emily Green, bassist Dominic DiGesu, and touring keyboardist Sam Revaz — performed "Au Pays Du Cocaine" and "Trinidad" from their album Getting Killed, the Best Album Of 2025.
The episode was hosted by Teyana Taylor, the newly Oscar-nominated actress from One Battle After Another. Beyond Geese and the fact that host Taylor is also an R&B star, Junglepussy was referenced in a commercial parody about One Battle action figures; Reneé Rapp was namechecked in an ESPN on NFL sketch; Ashley Padilla played a "confidence class" instructor with a Dolly Parton impression; and writer Martin Herlihy dressed like the Lumineers in a pre-taped short that ended the show. Other music related moments featured Taylor as airline agent delivering annoying travel updates via song and as a frail, elderly man who can't help but dance to Earth, Wind, & Fire at his grandson's wedding. Former cast member Mike Myers also reprised his Elon Musk impression in the Trump Awards cold open.
Myers got a hug from DiGesu during the goodnights:

And ICYMI Geese delivered some lines in the promos:
Next week is SNL's 1000th episode with host Alexander Skarsgård and musical guest Cardi B. (Skarsgård, incidentally, appears in Charli XCX's The Moment, which premiered at Sundance on Friday.)
