00:11It was a Saturday Night Live reunion when former cast member Will Ferrell

00:15returned to the NBC sketch comedy show to serve as host and join the distinguished

00:20Five Timers Club. The comedian kicked off his fifth appearance as host with an opening

00:24monologue, but the bit was quickly overshadowed when Ferrell noticed a surprise

00:28guest in the audience.

00:30Excuse me, but you look a lot like Ryan Reynolds.

00:35The comedian went on to majorly fangirl over Ryan Reynolds, making the actor

00:39very uncomfortable.

00:40Can you just pretend I'm not here?

00:42No way. It's too late. I'm locked in.

00:45As far as the sketches went, Ferrell played a number of familiar and new hilarious

00:49characters throughout the night. Some highlights included a Thanksgiving-themed

00:52digital short where Ferrell played a father who insisted that he did not in fact

00:56cut a fart at Thanksgiving dinner.

00:58Yeah, I'm very sure. I didn't cut a fart at Thanksgiving dinner. I wouldn't do that.

01:04It's not who I am.

01:06A Kenan Thompson-led sketch that looked at the alternate ending of The Wizard of Oz.

01:10What was I in the dream? Was I a doctor there too?

01:15And a ventriloquist whose puppet kept complaining about a man's hand being up his butt.

01:20Help! Help! Help! This grown man has his entire hand up my butt!

01:27Elsewhere, the episode also tackled the most recent Democratic debate where Ferrell appeared as

01:31philanthropist and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer.

01:35Hi guys. I'm billionaire Tom Steyer. And I'm running for president for a simple reason. It's fun.

01:45Woody Harrelson reprised his cameo as Joe Biden and there was also a mini-SNL reunion with

01:50Maya Rudolph making a cameo as Kamala Harris. Rachel Dratch taking on Amy Klobuchar.

01:55And fellow SNL alum Fred Armisen took on his impression of Michael Bloomberg who recently announced

02:00his Democratic 2020 presidential bid.

02:02I'd love to see those Trump supporters come up with a conspiracy theory about a Jewish billionaire

02:07with his own media company.

02:09And SNL's cold open of course continued their coverage on the Trump impeachment hearings

02:14with Alec Baldwin reprising his impression of President Donald Trump leading an impromptu

02:18press conference with Ferrell tackling U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland.

02:23It's so great to finally meet you for the first time, by the way.

02:26Oh, oh, oh, right, right, right, right. Keep the quid pro quo on the lolo. Got it.
