Is Obsession a romcom? Inde Navarrette sure thinks so, and I’m not going to disagree with her. Not with her Halloween episode of SNL coming up this weekend.

After taking the past few weekends off, SNL returns this weekend with Navarrette as its host. She paired up with freshman cast member Grace Reiter for a series of promos released on Wednesday.

It sure looks like we’re not going back to the promo sketches that SNL had used as its midweek promos for the past few seasons. Bummer.
