10. Black Jeopardy with Tom Hanks

8. Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton Third Debate Cold Open
Season 42, Episode 4
Much like this election, this sketch was something. It was hilarious (but sometimes went too far because of this it’s ranked at number 8).

7. Chonk
Season 42, Episode 3
In this sketch, SNL created a commercial for the (hopefully fictiounoous) store “Chonk” to shed some light on the ridiculous commericals we see nowadays. SPOILER ALERT: It also shows how different clothing stores are for men and women.
