Watch Charli XCX's SNL Monologue and Sketches from November 16, 2024
The "360" singer slayed her first time as Host in the 2024 Thanksgiving episode.
Singer Charli XCX slayed her first time as a Saturday Night Live Host on November 16, pulling double duty as Musical Guest with performances of "360" and "Sympathy Is a Knife" from her culture-shifting 2024 album, Brat. Charli showed her range with impressions of Adele and her friend and collaborator Troye Sivan, exchanged hilarious insults with the Please Don't Destroy boys, and joined Andy Samberg in a musical Digital Short, "Here I Go."
All that, and a sequel to Ariana Grande's "Domingo" bridesmaids sketch.

Samberg wasn't the only cameo of the night, as both Dana Carvey and Alec Baldwin returned in the cold open to play President Joe Biden and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. — and Season 47 cast member Kyle Mooney popped up during Charli's monologue to check whether he is, or is not "brat" (it's a no, turns out.)
