Ep 4. Dylan McDermott/Foo Fighters

In season 25, episode 4 of Saturday Night Live, host Dylan McDermott and musical guest Foo Fighters bring their high-energy performances to the iconic sketch comedy show.

The episode kicks off with an opening sketch featuring Maya Rudolph as Oprah Winfrey, interviewing a panel of women from Michigan who are undecided about the upcoming presidential election. The hilarious sketch features biting commentary on the state of modern politics, and sets the tone for the rest of the episode.

Next up, Dylan McDermott takes the stage for his monologue, poking fun at his own good looks and Hollywood career. The monologue sets up the first sketch of the night, a parody of the hit TV show The Practice, in which McDermott starred. The sketch features a reunion of the cast, who are now all working as lawyers in very different capacities.

Throughout the episode, McDermott appears in several other sketches, including a hilarious parody of the movie American Pie, in which his character is obsessed with a particularly strange food item. He also appears in a very physical sketch about a medical device that has some unexpected side effects.

The musical guests, Foo Fighters, bring their trademark high-energy rock sound to the SNL stage, performing two of their hits. Their first performance, Everlong, is a fan favorite and gets the audience cheering along. The second performance, Learn to Fly, is equally energetic and showcases the band's talent for catchy hooks and driving guitar riffs.

Other standout sketches from the episode include one about a group of people trying to plan a surprise party for a friend who is constantly changing their plans and another about a family of robots looking to buy a new car. The sketches are witty, irreverent, and perfectly skewer modern life in ways that only SNL can.

Overall, season 25, episode 4 of Saturday Night Live is a fun and entertaining episode that features great performances from the host and musical guest. With its sharp writing and talented cast, the show continues to be a reliable source of laughs and biting social commentary.
