Summary

Saturday Night Live's Nov. 14, 2026 cold open, hosted by John Mulaney for his seventh time, satirized tech billionaires over alleged Chinese spy entanglements.
Former cast member Bowen Yang made a surprise return as former Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, who resigned amid revelations of an affair with an alleged Chinese spy.
John Mulaney played a CIA official lecturing billionaires played as Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Peter Thiel on avoiding spies.
The sketch broke from the show's usual political cold opens, made no Trump parody, and referenced the FAA ground stop and the Microsoft Outlook outage.
Yang also appeared in Mulaney's Central Park horse-carriage musical parody 'The Little Park of Horrors' and joined him for the goodnights.

Saturday Night Live posted that the nation's most prominent tech billionaires gathered over an issue of national security.
On Weekend Update, Colin Jost joked that the grounding of all U.S. flights made Jensen Huang say, 'Oh, thank God, a different news story!'
In the cold open, Bowen Yang's Huang introduced himself as Jensen 'Hide-Your-Wife' Huang and joked he was into 'Breakin Da Stock Market'.
In the sketch, Mulaney's CIA official told the billionaires to learn the difference between a woman who wants them and a woman who is clearly a spy.
