Live from New York, it's Hanna-Barbera!

Saturday Night Live, usually shortened to SNL, is an American late-night live sketch comedy variety show created by Lorne Michaels and developed by Michaels and Dick Ebersol. It has aired on NBC since October 11, 1975, with almost 1000 episodes across 50 seasons.

• "Paul Rudd/Beyonce:" Snagglepuss (played by Bobby Moynihan) was a guest on "Weekend Update," where he gives his thoughts on California's ban on same sex marriage. After being "outed" by Seth Myers, he reveals he is in a relationship with the Great Gazoo (played by Will Forte).

Scooby-Doo

Main article: Scooby-Doo (franchise)

• "Norm Macdonald/Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg:" In the Celebrity Jeopardy! sketch, Macdonald as Burt Reynolds replies, "Who is Scooby-Doo?" when asked, "What Sound Does a Doggie Make?" He then goes on a tangent about Scooby, saying, "That was a funny dog, Scooby-Doo. He drove around in a van and solved mysteries." Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek says that that is incorrect, but Reynolds says he isn't and that he remembers he had a "pal" Scrappy.
• "Bill Murray/Sting:" In the Weekend Update, host Kevin Nealon says President Bill Clinton took part in a children's Q&A with questions ranging from what he was going to do about health care to wanting to know why Scooby-Doo wasn't on.
• "Charles Barkley/Nirvana:" In "David Spade's Hollywood Minute" from Weekend Update, Spade gets caught between making similar sounds of the Skipper from Gilligan's Island and Homer Simpson from The Simpsons, until he breaks off by saying "Zoinks," when shown a picture of Shaggy and Scooby. Spade thanks Shaggy for getting him out of the rut.
• "Rob Lowe/Eminem:" In a skit about a fictional Crime TV program called Pros & Cons, it reports on Mr. Montgomery, a jailed felon, who allegedly dressed up as a ghost to scare people away from a run-down amusement park that had pirate treasure underneath. He was stopped by a group of "amateur detectives," who according to Warren "Shaggy" Shagowski, decided while in a malt shop that the law had gone soft and it was time to do something about it, especially after "dirtbags who get their jollies dressing as ape men or glowing deep sea divers." Mr. Montgomery's lawyer argues that their prior criminal activities for "meddling" on several occasions meant that they were looking for trouble and implicated that Mr. Montgomery was innocent. Shaggy simply counters with his patriotic American right to have the freedom to stop bad guys. The lawyer admires Shaggy's ethics, and then bribes him to think differently with a box of Scooby Snacks.
• "Margot Robbie/The Weeknd:" There is a segment called The Hunch Bunch, where the cast is dressed like characters resembling Fred, Shaggy, Daphne, and Velma. They investigate a spooky castle haunted by a monster who is really Coggins, the groundskeeper.
• "Kumal Nanjiani/P!nk:" A woman played by Melissa Villaseñor is dressed like Velma at her office's Halloween party.
• "Jake Gyllenhaal/Sabrina Carpenter:" In a skit called "Scooby-Doo! and the Mystery of the Shadow Phantom," the Mystery Machine is parked outside a haunted mansion, while Mystery Incorporated investigates inside for the Shadow Phantom. They catch the ghost and take off the mask to reveal Old Man Franklin underneath, then Fred takes it further by ripping off the man's real face believing that to be fake as well to horrifying results. Chaos then ensues by their reactions, which includes Shaggy losing an arm, Velma losing her head, Fred shooting Daphne, and Scooby shooting Fred. In reality, this is just a commercial for Apple's new Face ID.
