Saturday Night Live returns from holiday hiatus with an NFL on Fox postgame roundtable discussion. Hosts Curt Menefee (Kenan Thompson), Howie Long (Mikey Day), Jimmy Johnson (James Austin Johnson), Michael Strahan (Devon Walker), Terry Bradshaw (Molly Kearney), and the newly sentient dancing robot mascot welcome their new star reporter, “Heisman trophy winner” George Santos (Bowen Yang).

The huckster representative from New York attempts to take credit for the Philadelphia Eagle’s victory, running down his “36 completions … 12 touchdowns, 17 rebounds and 10 RBIs,” while also denying reports that he used to don drag when he lived in Florida. Once the hosts realize that every word coming out of his mouth is a lie, they cut away from him, but he quickly shows back up as his drag queen alter ego, Kitara Ravache.
