Olivia Rodrigo pulled double duty on the May 2, 2026 episode of Saturday Night Live — the 1,006th episode in the show's history — and Brad, Nate, and Ben are here to break down every sketch from what was arguably one of the best episodes of Season 51.

From a Bug Planet zoo exhibit to a Rideshare driver who simply cannot stop being a dancehall artist, the writers leaned hard into Rodrigo's musical gift and delivered an episode packed with absurdist comedy, physical gags, and a few genuine surprises. Oh, and Aziz Ansari showed up as Kash Patel. Sure.

In this episode, the guys cover:

• Cold Open: Ansari crashes the Hegseth press briefing as the FBI Director himself
• Monologue: Real IDs, Jake Paul, and a very emotional "Drivers License" rewrite
• Edge of Destiny: Rodrigo as an 80s soap opera villain with a very long staircase
• Midnight Matinee: My Room: A Bug Planet love story that may live forever
• Shop TV: Lava Cake: The recurring sketch returns. The fudge hole has returned.
• My Ex: Ashley Padilla and a plate of mashed potatoes walk into a birthday party...
• Busted: An Isley Brothers parody with some very suspicious closet residents
• Rasta Rideshare: Andrew Dismukes cannot escape his destiny. We cannot escape it either.
• SafeGuard Viral Videos: TikTok influencers, now with a purpose
• Weekend Update: Jost, Che, Alix Earle, and the Bradometer

Plus: the guys hand out Sketch of the Night, crown the Episode MVP, and debate whether this episode stacks up against Sabrina Carpenter's double-duty turn earlier in the season.
