Kristen Wiig and Bowen Yang treated the troops to a sassy U.S.O. Performance, with Dua Lipa turning up as the other woman. The sketch originally aired on December 19, 2020, when Wiig returned to host for her fourth time and Dua Lipa appeared as the episode's Musical Guest; the singer later hosted in Season 49.

Yang and Wiig capture the clipped, 1940s-era banter before launching into a wild dance number. Wiig plays Nurse Aubra July, a self‑professed "lousy medic" who sings to lift the unit's spirits, and the duet, inspired by Whitney Houston's "It's Not Right But It's Okay," becomes a modern, messy romance that draws the soldiers in.

The sketch gets wilder when Dua Lipa joins as Marjorie, busting out crowd-pleasing moves, and ends with Aubra caught and the trio urging, "Defeat the Nazis," before dancing the sketch out. "U.S.O. Performance" was written by Fran Gillespie, Will Stephen and Bowen Yang, and the episode is available to stream on Peacock.
