- It's "Saturday Night Live" star, Sarah Sherman.
(audience claps and cheers)
- Look, look, looky.
Yes. Yes. Twirl, twirl, twirl, twirl.
- Exactly, exactly.
- Life is a circus.
You have to dress like a ringleader,
you know what I'm saying? - Yes.
- I feel like I'm a little circus poodle.
- And you brought the circus to town.
You wanna do some news with us too?
- Yeah.
- All right, let's go. - All right then, let's go.
(audience claps and cheers)
- Because also...
- [Ross] Take a seat.
- Okay, first of all, we have to call it out right away.
- Yeah.
- I'm drinking out of Sarah's mugs,
so we're X-ing today.
Sarah's News and Drew's news, you guys.
- [Ross] We love-
(audience claps and cheers)
- I am so in love with Sarah News.
And it's like when you've got the two worlds
of the Weekend update backdrop and then your world.
- [Ross] Yeah.
- And ever since you came on the scene at "SNL", you popped.
It was like, oh, she's gonna, yeah.
(audience claps and cheers)
- [Ross] Yeah, agreed. - That's the one.
It's so exciting.
- We love you.
- All right, Sarah News, Drew's News, X.
Will you take our first story as I drink out of your mugs?
- It's a collab.
- Cheers. - That's cute.
- I mean, come on, like, look at this.
Are we not meant to be together or what?
Okay, go ahead and read.
- Don't mind if I do.
"Harper's Bazaar", pretty cool,
reports that Ben Affleck, Matt Damon,
Jason Bateman and Bradley Cooper,
are in a celebrity Wordle group chat
where they share their daily scores.
- [Ross] Oh wow.
- [Sarah] Drew, are you in a celebrity group chat?
- Probably.
- Oh, come on.
- But we're not playing a game per se.
Like, there's no, it's more just like,
God, are we ever gonna get on that weekend trip
we've been planning for the last two or three years?
Like I definitely, I'm in some group chats
where some people of note might be,
but then there's a lot of other people too.
I don't have this like a-list game game.
- Yeah, 'cause that is an A-list game-
- [Drew] Game. - Of Wordle, yeah, uh-huh.
- [Drew] That's game.
- I wonder what their starting word is.
I bet it's hubba.
Hubba, hubba, hubba.
(all laugh)
Do you Wordle? Do you know how to Wordle?
- I do Wordle and I do have a Wordle group chat.
- Wait, you do? - Yeah.
- [Ross] Yeah you do, I knew it.
- Yeah, with my celebrity friends, Jack and Dan.
So, I know everybody really wants to get in that group chat.
But I start off every Wordle day with the word, dream.
- Oh. - Really?
- Yeah, because I wanna start the day with a,
you know what I'm saying?
- Positive affirmation.
- Yeah, with world peace, you know what I'm saying?
- Yeah.
What is your start word, Drew?
Everyone has one.
- I don't, I really don't.
- [Ross] I mean, you should.
- Really? - Yeah.
- But if it's the same every day, I don't know.
- You have to be strategic,
I'll tell you how to do it. - All right.
- My start word is adieu, because A D I E U.
All the vowels, almost, right there
and I learn a lot about the word.
Strategy, all right.
- Oh, well gosh.
- [Sarah] That's barely news.
- Well, People Magazine is giving me nightmares
with this story about a woman in Australia
who was just going about her business,
changing her sheets as we all do,
when she found a deadly, six foot,
eastern crown snake in her bed.
- [Sarah] Nope. No.
- [Drew] Absolutely no to this.
Throw the whole bed away.
Sarah, Ross, what would you do?
- It's not my house anymore, it's his house.
- Yes.
Right, yeah, what would?
I would put the house on the market
and move to the North Pole.
That's what I would do, get me away.
I wanted a Cal king, not a king cobra.
Thank you very much.
That's my worst nightmare.
I'm gonna check the bed tonight.
- It's terrifying, but it's also good to know
that our worst nightmares can come true.
- Yeah, they can come true and it happened to them.
All right, lastly, the "New York Post"
reports on newlyweds who went viral
after their wedding photographer
posted a picture on Facebook
of their unusual budget friendly choice.
So instead of throwing confetti
or rice as they left the ceremony, which is traditional,
they had guests throw instant mashed potato powder.
And yeah, it did get wet,
(audience laughs)
thanks to sweat and spilled drinks.
And on the floor, it turned into
a little Thanksgiving side dish, okay.
And I guess the rest of the wedding
was just gravy after that.
(Drew and Sarah cheer)
- Yes, Rossy.
- That was good.
- But how 'bout them taters?
What do you think?
Do you think mashed potato mix makes cute confetti?
- Erm.
- Oh.
(audience laughs)
(Ross laughs)
- I mean, it works.
(audience claps and cheers)
Here's the thing also.
I did a little research into this.
It's a lot less expensive than actual confetti,
which doesn't decompose.
These will basically disappear into nothingness
and then it's better for birds
because rice is not good for birds.
- [Sarah] Oh. - [Ross] Oh.
- And also more expensive, so I say...
(audience claps and cheers)
- I don't know, I'm not convinced.
- Also, guess what? I can do a little of this.
- [Ross] Yeah, how is that?
- Delicious. - It's good, I'm like, it's-
- Well Sarah, I don't know how you feel about marriage
but I'd like to just, you know, co-join with you
under some potato buds for life because...
(audience claps and cheers)
I feel like what you put out into the world
is something that I'm just on the feeder of.
You're funny, you're smart, you are colorful, you're bright.
And can we do this more often,
Sarah News x Drew News. - Yeah.
(audience claps and cheers)
Yeah.
- I mean, look at us.
Come on, we were meant to be together.
- As long as, you know,
you give me bowls of my own dandruff
for every time that... (all laugh)
- Well, ladies and gentlemen, that is it for news.
And I can't thank Sarah Sherman enough for coming here.
(audience claps and cheers)
Obviously, you can see her every Saturday night on "SNL"
and this weekend's gonna be amazing.
Quinta Brunson is on and musical guest is Lil Yachty
and that's live at 11:30 Eastern, 8:30 Pacific,
which really, I like the 8:30 version.
- [Ross] Oh yeah.
- Gotta say that the older I get,
the more that West Coast feed is much appreciated.
- Yeah, we do. - All right.
You can catch that on NBC and Peacock.
(upbeat theme music)
