While hosting SNL on Saturday, Reese Witherspoon was joined by a person she called "the love of my life."

Nope, it wasn't her husband—it was her mother, Betty Witherspoon! Mama Witherspoon took part in the monologue, which saw cast members appear on stage with their moms and apologize to them for things they say they did when they were younger.

"OK, this is bad guys, but Mom, I'm really sorry that that one time in high school, I told you that I was going to go sleep over at Ashley's house, but instead, I checked into a hotel with my boyfriend," Reese told her. "But then I felt so guilty, that I left and went back to Ashley's house. Do you forgive me?"

"Of course, Sweetheart," Betty replied. "And now me and the other moms have something we want to apologize for. We're sorry that we're about to show a bunch of home videos of you kids."

Cast member Kate McKinnon wins the award for fiercest young diva, teen Aidy Bryant was all of us singing to Christina Aguilera and 16-year-old Reese showcases her playful side in a way that will make you remember a particularly hilarious scene from Cruel Intentions.

This marked Reese's second time hosting Saturday Night Live. She made her debut on Sept. 29, 2001, two weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks.

Saturday's show aired a day after the release of Reese's newest movie, the comedy Hot Pursuit, which also stars Sofía Vergara. The musical guest was Florence + the Machine.

Next weekend is the season 40 finale of SNL, with host Louis C.K. and performer Rihanna.
