Druski, who played himself in the sketch, hosted the Saturday, November 7, 2026 episode.
Why it matters

The sketch also parodies the documentary world, casting its host in the role of a figure whose story has already been widely covered.
The Strokes made their fifth appearance as musical guest on the program, while Druski's hosting turn marked a first for a content creator without a current movie or TV show. No viewership figures for the episode were provided.
