The Foo Fighters returned to Saturday Night Live for a memorable musical performance, kicked off by a classic introduction from Christopher Walken. The band performed “Rescued” and “The Glass,” the latter featuring a special guest appearance by H.E.R. The set highlighted the band’s enduring energy and included a nostalgic nod to Walken’s famous 2003 introduction of the group.
