SNL got to work this week. With appearances from Ronda Rousey, Tina Fey and Selena Gomez Saturday Night Live wasn't short of laughs.

Rousey toughed out the blizzard coming to host. Check out her monologue, which included a shout out to Holly Holm, who knocked out Rousey at UFC 193 in November:

Per usual, Tina Fey’s impression of Sarah Palin is spot on in this weekend’s Cold Open. This time, Fey manages to be both more adorable and more obnoxious than the real Sarah Palin at the same time as she performs a hilarious parody endorsement in Iowa for Republican candidate Donald Trump. Darrell Hammond plays Trump but doesn't say too much to Fey take the spotlight.

Rousey knocks a girl out in front of her high school classmates in “Love Struck.”

Leslie Jones drools over Leonardo Dicaprio in The Weekend Update. She tells Colin Jost she would give The Relevant actor a “laughgasm” and feed him a ham sandwich afterword.

Rousey suits up to play Metallia, who can bend metal with her mind.

Things get interesting in SNL’s recurring segment Bland Man. Dan has a series of conversations with women, one of whom is Ronda Rousey, but the females get stranger and stranger until Selena Gomez saves the day at the end.

The SNL Screen Guild Awards shed light on #OscarsSoWhite.

Selena Gomez closed out the night with a steamy performance to “Hands To Myself.”
