Jimmy Fallon returned to "Saturday Night Live" as host and appeared in a sketch which mocked both United Airlines and Pepsi advert.
Beck Bennett and Cecily Strong played a couple whose date got interrupted by her ex, Fallon, reported Ace Showbiz.
He tried to win her back by singing Savage Garden's "Truly Madly Deeply", but she rejected him, saying, "No, Doug! You dragged a man off a plane this week," implying that he's involved in United's controversial removal of a passenger off a plane.
Turning to her new beau, Strong asked Bennett to tell her more about himself. "Well, I just directed this huge Pepsi commercial...," he responded.
Fallon delivered his best impression of John Travolta when appearing on "Celebrity Family Feud: Time Travel Edition" with Harry Styles as Mick Jagger.
Fallon scrambled as he pulled double duty, playing innocent 1977 John Travolta and his older version post-"The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story".
