Palmer portrayed Kelly in a behind-the-scenes documentary that highlighted how she persuaded the veteran SNL performer to undertake the program, which she wanted to put a more dramatic twist on it than the original 1990s series, in her skit with Thompson, 44.

Palmer played a pregnant woman who engaged in several unhealthful behaviors, such as smoking while carrying the babies and eating fish from McDonald's, in the other skit that aired later in the evening.

Palmer proved her rumor

Palmer joked in her opening speech that "some rumors are circulating, and folks have been in my comments saying, 'Keke's having a baby, Keke's pregnant,' "To prove the rumor, Palmer ripped open her long jacket and revealed her bump on the Studio 8H stage.

Palmer is more blessed

Palmer said, 
"I gotta say, though, it is bad when people on the internet spread rumors about you y'all, but it's even worse when they're correct. I mean, like, I was trying so hard to keep it on the down low, cause I got a lot of stuff going on, you know?" she continued. "... But honestly this has been the biggest blessing, and I am so excited. Guys, I'm going to be a mom."

And also added that "Even though some people feel a little weird about me having a baby cause I was a child actor, I just wanna say, look, I'm 29, I'm grown, I have sex, I own a home, I stormed the Capitol on January 6, you know? Things adults do."

On December 10, Martin Short and Steve Martin will serve as the hosts, while Brandi Carlile will perform as a guest.
