Aidy Bryant returned to Saturday Night Live tonight, more than three years since she departed the show in May 2022.
Bryant was there to help give Bowen Yang a send-off, bringing back their classic Trend Forecasters characters on Weekend Update.
The pair told Michael Che that they’ve been gathering the trends from a “very huge, sweaty, rock hard computer.” One of the trends? Rush Hour 4. “Thanks Trump,” Yang said.
Bryant was on the show between Season 38 and Season 47. The pair appeared as the Trend Forecasters regularly during 2022.

After she left the show, Yang said that he wouldn’t do the bit without her but expected to see her back in the studio at some point.
“Honestly, I would never dream of doing it without Aidy,” Yang told Entertainment Weekly. “I feel like the next time we do it is when Aidy comes back to host. I feel like that day will be much sooner than we think, or I hope it’s much sooner than I think because she is just going to be everyone’s boss at some point in show business. So, I feel like she’ll have her moment to come back, hopefully, and that maybe, if everything aligns correctly, we’ll do it again.”
