The trailer also offers a closer look at some of SNL’s most iconic and controversial moments, including Sinéad O’Connor’s 1992 performance, where she staged a protest against the Catholic Church.

During her interpretation of Bob Marley’s ‘War’, O’Connor held a photograph of the then-Pope John Paul II up to the camera, tore it to pieces, said "fight the real enemy", and threw the pieces to the floor.

Other controversial performances showcased in the trailer include Ashley Simpson’s lip syncing stumble, spontaneous choices from Elvis Costello and Rage Against the Machine and Kanye West’s appearance on the show wearing a MAGA hat.
