With 16 days left until the 2024 Presidential election, tonight’s Saturday Night Live host Michael Keaton and musical guest Billie Eilish used their appearances on the NBC sketch show to get out the vote.
First, Keaton donned a TV-shirt emblazoned with the word Vote while introducing Eilish’s first musical performance of the flagship song, Birds of a Feather, from her latest album, Hit Me Hard and Soft.
He put the shirt back on for the curtain call at the end of the episode, with Eilish wearing an identical tee. “Thank you and don’t forget to…,” he said as both he and Elish showed off the message on their clothing.
Keaton, as well as Eilish and her brother Finneas, have endorsed Kamala Harris for President, with Keaton recently seen campaigning for her in his native Pittsburgh wearing the same T-Shirt.
In both of her music performances, Eilish was joined by Finneas on acoustic guitar. The sky-themed stage for Birds Of a Feather incorporated a glass cube with a camera underneath that showed Eilish’s soles with the name of her 2024 album written on them and had her and Finneas lean in at the end.

In addition to her musical guest duties, Eilish did a cameo in a TikTok sketch. Meanwhile, Keaton’s opening monologue leaned heavily on his Beetlejuice character.
