This is a Halloween-themed episode of the recurring "What Up with That?" sketch featuring host Diondre Cole (Kenan Thompson) in his signature red tracksuit. The talk show format sketch features Cole's enthusiastic energy and signature theme song, but he constantly gets sidetracked by multiple performances of the theme song and never lets his guests speak. In this Halloween edition, guests Oscar Isaac (dressed as a pirate), Emily Ratajkowski (dressed as a cat), and Nicholas Braun appear in costume. The sketch features the typical elements: the catchy theme song "What Up with That?", backup dancers including the return of Vance (Jason Sudeikis) doing his signature energetic running man dance, and Giuseppe (Fred Armisen) playing saxophone. Cole mistakes Nicholas Braun for Lindsey Buckingham (usually played by Bill Hader, who was absent from this episode) dressed as Braun's Succession character Greg Hirsch. The Halloween theme adds festive decorations and costumes to the usual set. True to form, the guests barely get to speak as Cole keeps breaking into song.
