The real-life raccoon that got wasted in a Virginia liquor store got more time in the spotlight via Sherman’s portrayal.

LIVE FROM NEW YORK -- After a two-week hiatus, “Saturday Night Live” is back with a new episode tonight with host Melissa McCarthy and musical guest Dijon. This marks McCarthy’s sixth time hosting, her first since 2017, and musician Dijon’s “SNL” debut.

Sarah Sherman dressed up as the viral drunk raccoon who broke into a Virginia liquor store in a “Saturday Night Live” skit. “Here to explain their actions is that drunk raccoon,” comedian Colin Jost said during the “Weekend Update” segment.

The Five-Timer became a six-timer with an episode that proved the actress can still play a wonderful weirdo like no one else.

"Saturday Night Live" took notice of the now-viral raccoon who went into the ABC Store in Ashland, featuring the critter during the "Weekend Update" segment.
