Sony went through a long testing process of bringing in guest hosts to audition for the role.

[{"selector":"#anim-08d8ade2-9b1a-4845-bc9a-b2e156387245","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-89260b7f-8883-465a-8b00-277aa13d83cd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fc2145bc-042c-4bca-ace1-d4e385b8520e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Fans overwhelmingly wanted LeVar Burton to become the trivia show’s new host.

However, Burton’s audition received low ratings because it aired the same time as the Tokyo Olympics.

[{"selector":"#anim-3dda5d26-6fdc-401b-a6e3-3c4b995627dc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-827a262c-29ed-4a81-8eb7-79fe7ca2a6ff","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-daaa71a3-89fc-4b79-b8eb-d52f2ad3746c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

“SNL” recently tied the “Jeopardy!” controversy with Jon Gruden’s recent firing.

[{"selector":"#anim-e2f306a1-3a2e-47a5-849f-79df3fb54739","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-081f3c64-cf16-4404-a934-26b4134971c2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8ce7b857-ed02-47f8-a033-4e0fe39f4be3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The Raiders coach was fired after offensive comments surfaced in leaked emails.

[{"selector":"#anim-63681b71-7b00-4917-9ff1-f7a528012bca","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b76503b6-436d-4c43-9e26-1a57122ce629","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7f565588-e58a-42d7-915e-da3e333058b5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The sketch jokes that the Raiders are going to bring in a new coach to make everyone – even Twitter – happy.

They bring in LeVar Burton, played by Kenan Thompson, who shouts, “Suck on that, Mayim Bialik!”

[{"selector":"#anim-71514100-5e10-4936-845f-03ee946d0292","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ff2706c9-72b6-4c65-a2ba-a052a78120c8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-522eb729-f9f2-4bfe-a0df-a567b0251424","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Bialik retweeted the skit, saying being mentioned on “SNL” was “one of the highest honors.”
