• Former SNL cast member and first time host, Jason Sudeikis is joined in these promos by musical guest Brandi Carlile and cast members Alex Moffat and Chloe Fineman.
• Sudeikis started on SNL as a writer in 2003, and had some small walk on roles. One walk on role in the season 30 Tom Brady episode led to his promotion to cast member. The sketch was riffing on the Chicago Bears and their Super Bowl Shuffle song, and Sudeikis had a bit part dancing behind Brady. Producers wanted a cast member to take the part after seeing it get laughs at a rehearsal, but Tina Fey (who was head writer at the time) questioned whether any of their current male cast members could replace him and get the same laugh. The producers decided to leave him in the sketch and while the show took a scheduled two week break, Lorne Michaels offered Sudeikis an immediate promotion to the cast.
• A number of sketches were cut from the Rami Malek episode but only three of them were made available online.
