Autumn Saturday Night Live Skits

Autumn Saturday Night Live Sketches That'll Put You in a Sweater Weather Mood

Nothing says fall like curling up with a teacup, a chunky blanket, and a queue of good old Saturday Night Live sketches! The late-night comedy show never has a shortage of timely skits, always taking inspiration from anything that's of the moment, from the holidays to the elections. And yes, SNL has plenty of fall content, including Halloween and Thanksgiving bits. While not all of these skits are wholesome or innocent, they'll grant you a laugh for sure. From pumpkin spice going too far to the realities of apple picking, here are the best autumn-themed SNL sketches for a cosy night in with lots of giggles.

A Frightening Tale (2018)

Nothing says fall like telling scary stories around a campfire. Seth Meyers has the spookiest of them all — the time his father asked if he could get a coffee with a 22-year-old recent college grad and aspiring filmmaker.
