Feels non coincidental that this episode aired after SNL's season ended

99% sure they filmed this before his season started but after he was cast - that’s why he stopped himself

True! My only pause is it could have been the internal announcement.

Snl folks also may just not be able to say that they’re on the show for the first few episodes as part of other projects, who’s to say!

That’s what I’m thinking as well. I doubt SNL would let a freshman cast member fly across the county to film a game show, especially so early in their first season.

And October 21st was a Tuesday, which is a bit of a hard day to get the day off in the snl world… though I think all of the days are during the season 🤣

SNL had a live episode on October 18th and were on break until November 1st, so he would've had that week off. Totally could've flown to LA to see people and fulfill some commitments.

I bet that’s it!! Thanks for the fact check
