NBC has posted two official Turnstile performance clips from the October 3, 2026 episode of Saturday Night Live, hosted by Dakota Johnson. The broadcaster’s October 4 recap includes ‘BIRDS’ and an ‘I CARE/DULL’ medley. For listeners looking for the music rather than the sketches, the direct NBC links below lead to two performances covering three songs.

Start with ‘BIRDS’ for a standalone performance: NBC lists the clip at 2 minutes 46 seconds. The separate ‘I CARE/DULL’ medley runs 4 minutes 5 seconds in NBC’s listing, so both songs are in one clip rather than separate uploads. These are the broadcaster’s listed clip lengths, not independently measured performance times.

When checked on October 4, NBC’s clip metadata labelled both highlights ‘Free’ and unlocked, while its October 3 full-episode listing was locked. That distinction matters if you only want the performances: a full-episode access requirement should not be treated as the access rule for every highlight. This guide verified the pages and their listings, not successful playback, account requirements or access in every country. Both clip records also disable mobile-web playback; a working page on your phone is not confirmation that its video will play there.

NBC’s records currently give both clips an availability end of November 3, 2026 at 04:35 UTC. Treat that as the broadcaster’s scheduled window, not a guarantee of uninterrupted access or permanent replay. Use the official clip pages to check the player’s current requirements before subscribing for the full episode. The archival festival photograph above illustrates the band and does not show its SNL performance.
