Saturday Night time Reside has continued this season’s custom of high-profile cameos in each episode. Tonight’s shock visitors included Christopher Walken within the Chilly Open and Padma Lakshmi in a skit set at a cooking competitors present within the vein of High Chef, which Lakshmi hoisted for 19 seasons.

The SNL present, Chef Showdown, options “Two Cooks, One Delicacies, One Winner.”

The 2 cooks are performed by SNL‘s Ego Nwodim and host Nate Bargatze. Because the host, performed by Heidi Garner, says in her opening, their showdown adopted “an emotional week,” by which “we visited the oldest Black church in Georgia the place we realized the origins of soul meals in preparation for the soul meals problem.”

What transpires defies expectations — and preconceptions — to the shock of the judges and Lakshmi, who has the awkward process of handing out prizes. You’ll be able to watch the sketch above.
