Bro, every time this dude makes a phone call with someone, it just gets freakier and- HOLY SHIT DON PARDO IS BACK!!
But yeah, this season has a few changes. First off, they brought the "LIVE FROM NEW YORK!" quote back. It felt nice to hear it again, I kid you not.
Another change was SNL Newsbreak being changed to Saturday Night News, along with a new anchor, Brad Hall. He's not that bad, very snappy delivery. Julia-Louis Dreyfus was also a cast member, she's not that bad either, but the acting was alright. I don't know about the other new cast members, I forgot. Overall, the episode was really good, loved every sketch.
Fun Fact: This is the first time Queen has ever performed on American television.

Mr. T as Mister Robinson's neighbor is so random, I don't even know if I should laugh at it.
Bro, this season is going off to a great start. Loved almost every sketch.
It's crazy hearing the Palestine situation still being a problem back in the 80s.
