Christmas Airport Parade

Three airport workers - two TSA employees (Bowen Yang and Ego Nwodim) and an overly-aggressive Delta Lounge employee (Martin Short) - provide live commentary on the parade of holiday travelers passing through Newark International Airport during the busy Christmas travel week. The sketch features a series of recognizable airport character types including a nervous flier whose edible kicked in too early, a TSA agent who repeats instructions twelve different ways, a woman saving her stinky meal for the flight, confused travelers, Captain Sully making an appearance, someone who accidentally sat on a motorized suitcase, and a gate agent struggling with passenger names. The sketch brilliantly captures the stress, chaos, and absurdity of holiday airport travel with celebrity cameos adding to the festivities.

This episode marked Martin Short's induction into the Five-Timers Club. The sketch featured numerous celebrity cameos befitting the Christmas episode. The sketch was part of SNL's 50th season anniversary celebrations. Upload date: December 22, 2024. Views: 1,578,512 (as of data collection). Likes: 24,245. Duration: 347 seconds (5:47).
