No official uploadThis sketch has no video on the official SNL YouTube channel. Full episodes stream on Peacock.
The new opening montage is introduced. This montage has a theme similar to that of the NBC studios where SNL is broadcast and consists of black and white images of the cast at a party, with purple and green titling. The SNL logo introduced here is used through the 2005-2006 season. Additionally, 9 of the cast members are gone from the intro, since they left the show prior to this season. Along with a virtually all new cast, this season also came with an all-new opener. With G.E. Smith gone as bandleader, Lenny Pickett takes over, and the theme music is a jazzier version of the 1994-1995 theme. First credits for Jim Breuer, Will Ferrell, Darrell Hammond, David Koechner, Cheri Oteri and Nancy Walls and Molly Shannon has promoted from featured player to repertory player for this season.
