What Will Happen When Elizabeth Banks Hosts Saturday Night Live?
And how many Effie Trinket wigs are already on site?
Presidential candidate Jeb Bush (Beck Bennett) cheerfully says in an interview that if he could go back in time, he'd kill Adolf Hitler as a baby, then goes on to detail who else he'd kill as a time traveler to 1889.
Host Elizabeth Banks describes how daunting it is to host when her recent co-stars include universally beloved hosts Paul Rudd and Jennifer Lawrence, who walk onstage to "help" her get through the monologue by offering her their signature moves -- bad dance moves, wacky photobombs, "accidental" pratfalls, etc.
As the Panem resistance discusses how important it is to overthrow President Snow, the rebels discuss his horrific, dehumanizing leadership, but note that at least he could have been worse...and then start listing actual policy items from the GOP presidential candidates' platforms.
A pair of nurses (Banks and Sasheer Zamata) get called in for a reprimand from the chief of the maternity department for dressing up the newborns in hilarious costumes and photographing them.
Two customers at a laundromat (Banks and Kyle Mooney) realize they each have a load of wet laundry to dry, and decide to settle the question of who gets the use of the last working dryer with an arm-wrestling match that gets extremely competitive and inflames all the other patrons.
Disclosure performs.

With Right Side Of The Bed! co-host Gracelynn laid up with an ingrown toenail, her sister JoannaKim (Banks) sits in for her opposite Gracelynn's outrageous husband Cory (Taran Killam).
