8 Moments From Aubrey Plaza’s SNL Episode That Had Us Gay Gasping
The out actor’s hosting gig on Saturday Night Live was saying gay rights all night long.

Aubrey Plaza (our forever celebrity crush) hosted last weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live. She was joined by musical guest Sam Smith and, much to our delight, the episode was oh-so-gay.
From the promo that saw Plaza making out with cast member Chloe Fineman to some MILF hunting Na’vi, to the M3GAN sequel we want and deserve, this episode had us giggling at the unapologetically queer-inclusivity of it all.
In the lead-up to the episode, SNL dropped a promo that immediately made this one a must-watch. In the promo, Plaza and Fineman face off about their celebrity impression skills, then, well, just press faces together.
Plaza, who starred in season two of White Lotus, takes on the role of staff this time around in this hilarious spoof which features Chloe Fineman reprising her hilarious Jennifer Coolidge impression.
M3GAN is a bonafide gay icon and in this skit of the sequel, she’s coming for the gays (with poppers). We live.
OK, this might not be overtly gay, but seeing the return of April Ludgate and Leslie Knope made our gay little hearts go pitter-patter.
Bowen Yang once again reminds us why he is the MVP with his hilarious take on the serial lying Republican congressman George Santos.
Kim Petras literally emerges from Sam Smith’s costume for an Unholy team-up we are praising to the heavens.
This skit gives us the Avatar sequel we didn’t know we needed, featuring the Maricopa MILF hunters.
Because gay panic is always a worthy target for mockery.
