Sam Smith was not the only performer during the October 7 episode on "SNL". Earlier on the show, Jason Aldean made a surprise appearance to pay tribute to the victims and families affected by Las Vegas shooting. The mass shooting happened during the country music singer's performance early this month.
The "Dirt Road Anthem" crooner opened the "SNL" with a heartfelt message. He also performed a rendition of Tom Petty's classic hit single "I Won't Back Down" in honor of the iconic musician who passed away from cardiac arrest early this month.
Serving as a host during the latest episode of the NBC sketch show was Gal Gadot. It marked her debut as a host on the NBC sketch show. The Israeli actress spoke Hebrew during her monologue. She later reprised his role as Wonder Woman and kissed Kate McKinnon in one skit and did impressions of Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid in a "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" faux spin-off.
"SNL" season 43 premiered on September 30. Ryan Gosling served as a host, his "La La Land" co-star Emma Stone made a surprise appearance during his monologue, Jay-Z paid tribute to Colin Kaepernick during his performance, and Alec Baldwin returned as Donald Trump to roast the President over Puerto Rico crisis and NFL kneeling protests.
