| |  | | First on LateNighter: Saturday's early morning U.S.-Israeli joint attacks on Iran prompted a quick change of course at SNL. | | | | | | | |

| |  | | Williams' surprise appearance generated a sustained ovation from a well-represented Heated Rivalry fanbase in Studio 8H. | | | | | | | |
| |  | | “Happy World War III to all who celebrate,” said JAJ’s Trump—”FIFA Peace Prize winner and Nobel Peace Prize taker”—as he stepped to the podium. | | | | | | | |
| |  | | One of the biggest laughs during SNL’s dress rehearsal this weekend never made it to air. | | | | | | | |
