Tina Fey and The Arcade Fire welcomed us back into the newest season of Sturday Night Live last night, and it definitely was a special episode. We were treated to a Aaron Paul guest appearance pretty much right away and we also got to meet the new cast members for SNL. Beck Bennett, John Milhiser, Kyle Mooney, Mike O'Brien, Noël Wells, and Brooks Wheelan have joined the cast this season, and Fey welcomed them during her opening monologue. There were plenty more laughs to be had last night, but what was your favorite moment?

Season 39 started off on a high note with a cold open full of varying characters. Obamacare is clearly an easy subject to make fun of, but the way that SNL approached it resulted in plenty of laughs. Aidy Bryant, Kate McKinnon, Bobby Moynihan and Taran Killam started their season of leading roles off quite well, despite Jay Pharaoh's played-out Barack Obama impression (sorry if you are a fan out of that impression). Oh and Aaron Paul shows up to make some Breaking Bad jokes! YAY!

Fey's monologue was pretty great, too. The former 30 Rock star made fun of the fact that she was mainly known for her Sarah Palin impression and nothing else. She also introduced our new cast members! Check it out right here:

Of course the jokes were plentiful and sometimes a little special as the show went on. In fact, Fey passed the "Weekend Update" baton to Cecily Strong (love her)!

Also, The Arcade Fire performed and they were weird and great as usual!
