Emma Stone And The Cast Of ‘SNL’ Sang Of The Pure Naked Joys Of New York City In A Hilarious New Music Video

by

Ahead of the premiere of her upcoming movie Poor Things, Emma Stone brought the laughs on Saturday Night Live. In her fifth time hosting the show, Stone displayed naked emotion &mdash: literally — in a new bop featuring the SNL cast.

The song, “Fully Naked In New York City,” opens with Bowen Yang finding himself down on his luck. He is seen sitting on his bed before walking around his apartment. Stone is then seen in her apartment, also finding herself lamenting the day-to-day, hustle and bustle of life. But the two quickly find that they have similar coping mechanisms.

In the next frame, the two are seen nude (digitally blurred, of course), riding on the back of a garbage truck.

In unison, Stone and Yang then reel over “Riding in the back of a garbage truck / being naked in the middle of New York City.”

Shortly after, Stone is seen sitting on a large beam, enjoying a sandwich mid-air. Several of the other SNL cast members join in on the nude fun, as Chloe Fineman, Andrew Dismukes, Chloe Troast, and more are seen dancing their way through construction sites, donning nothing but their birthday suits.

The Men Of ‘SNL,’ Along With Jason Momoa, Can’t Help But Think About The Roman Empire, Much To The Ladies’ Chagrin

by

Over the past few months, several women have taken to TikTok, noting that men frequently think about the Roman empire. This has since spawned memes with people describing fixations of their own as their personal “Roman empire.” Tonight (November 18), in a hilarious music video sketch on Saturday Night Live, the men of the cast doubled down on their fascination with this age.

The video opens with the fictional wives of guest host Jason Momoa, Mikey Day, and Kenan Thompson — played respectively by Ego Nwodim, Chloe Troast, and Punkie Johnson — singing of concerns that their husbands are fantasizing about other women. Momoa then delivers a hilarious rap, ensuring that there’s not lust for other women, but rather, a desire to return to the age of the Roman empire.

As the men continue to rap about how simple of a time the age of the Roman empire must’ve been, Nwodim expresses concern that the fascination is passing along to hers and Momoa’s fictional son.

But the son expresses that he is more interested in dinosaurs, which, like the Roman empire, are in the ground.

The ladies then suggest the men take up other interests — like astrology.

Timothée Chalamet Reprised His Soundcloud Rapper Character SmokeCheddaThaAssGetta In A ‘Hip-Hop 50’-Themed ‘SNL’ Sketch

by

In his second time hosting Saturday Night Live, Timothée Chalamet brought back an old favorite. Reprising his Soundcloud rapper role, SmokeCheddaThaAssGetta, Chalamet spoke on a special panel honoring the 50th anniversary of hip-hop.

During the sketch, a moderator named Nunya Business, played by Ego Nwodim, hosts a group of hip-hop experts at the Museum Of Hip-Hop. On the panel are Mary J. Blige (Punkie Johnson), Dr. Cornel West (Kenan Thompason), Rick Rubin (James Austin Johnson), and SmokeCheddaThaAssGetta.

Evidently, SmokeCheddaThaAssGetta has broken the streaming record, which, according to Nunya, makes him “the most successful hip-hop artist of all time.”

While on the panel, Johnson’s Blige posits that hip-hop has thrived for more than 50 years, given the pure emotion in the music. Meanwhile, SmokeCheddaThaAssGetta is confused, as he initially thought hip-hop was discovered in 2014. However, he simply sums up his reasoning for Hip-Hop’s longevity, saying, “the opps gonna slide, but DMs be popping regardless.”

Elsewhere in the panel, SmokeCheddaThaAssGetta opens up about his struggles, hilariously noting “My dad made me get braces when I wanted Invisalign.” He also mentioned his sidekick in the rap game, Guaplord, who, in SmokeChedda’s first sketch, was played by Pete Davidson.

“He gotta lay low in Turkey for a minute,” SmokeCheddaThaAssGetta said.

Timothée Chalamet Celebrated The End Of The SAG-AFTRA Strike With ‘Shameless Self-Promotion’ On ‘SNL’

by

In the first Saturday Night Live episode since the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike, this week’s host, Timothée Chalamet wasted no time. Tonight (November 11), the actor hosted the show for the second time.

The first time Chalamet hosted was back in 2020, amid the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. While both of his hosting gigs thus far took place at weird times, Chalamet fully embraced the newfound freedom to talk about his work. During tonight’s episode, Chalamet was excited to promote his upcoming projects, Wonka and Dune: Part II.

He broke out into song, singing to the tune of “Pure Imagination” from the original Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory.

“Come with me / and you’ll be / in a world of shameless self-promotion / It’s okay / That my new film Wonka is out in theaters December 15,” Chalamet sang.

He was then interrupted by SNL actor Marcello Hernandez, with whom, Chalamet established that they both have baby faces. The two then broke out into a hilarious rap about the reality of living with baby faces.

They were joined by fellow SNL actors Punkie Johnson and Kenan Thompson, the latter of whom jokingly claimed to be 63 years old, but maintained a youthful appearance due to his baby face.

Bad Bunny Does It All On “SNL,” Kendall Jenner Joins Him At After Party

by

Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio is on top of the world right now, and few names can drum up as much interest for a Saturday Night Live gig. Moreover, Bad Bunny played the role of host and performer, doing his best to give us a lot of laughs and a couple of great performances. Certainly, he has the latter on lock, and considering that comedy is subjective (and there’s a language barrier at play), his hosting and acting skills seem to be divisive online. Many loved the sketches, with some being thematically appropriate like a rap battle or a Latino household, while others were less than impressed.

Regardless, it was nonetheless quite the engaging experience to see the Puerto Rican onstage and give this staple of pop culture a shot after previous cameos, whether you’re Boricua yourself or not. For his performance, he picked his two singles from his brand-new album nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana (Nobody Knows What’s Going To Happen Tomorrow). While “UN PREVIEW” and “MONACO” are definitely highlights, it would’ve been great to see Bad Bunny perform some of his amazing deep cuts from the project. Still, considering that it’s a tribute to his day-one fans, his original sound, and far from his most popular styles, it’s an understandable choice.

Bad Bunny Performs “MONACO” On Saturday Night Live

After the 29-year-old killed it on SNL, he went for a night out in New York City with Kendall Jenner to celebrate. While the two have remained pretty tight-lipped about their relationship, that hasn’t stopped them from having plenty of fun in the public eye. Other celebrities who made cameos during Bad Bunny’s TV stint, like Lady Gaga and Pedro Pascal, were unfortunately not spotted here. It looks like it was still a great time, and one that marks a pretty special day for El Conejo Malo.

Meanwhile, what did you think about this Saturday Night Live episode and its musical performances? Does Benito have a future in other performing arts or should he stick to cameo appearances? However you may feel, let us know in the comments down below. Also, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Bad Bunny.

Hitting the Saturday Night Live stage for the second time tonight, Bad Bunny celebrated his new album Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana with a performance of the instant fan-favorite “Monaco.”

While on stage, Bunny was seated in the middle of a large supper table, as he channeled the leader of a mafia. Joined by a group of fellow mafiosos, Bunny once again maintained an impeccable stage presence, as he turned up his charisma.

The performance slightly mirrored the mafia-themed music video for “Monaco,” which stars Al Pacino. Earlier in the week, Bunny made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, during which, he said that Pacino is his uncle.

Shortly after, Bunny clarified that he was joking, however, he said that the experience of working with Pacino was “a dream come true.”

Tonight marks Bunny’s second time performing on Saturday Night Live, but his first time hosting. Earlier in the night, Bunny had the audience in stitches with his monologue, during which, he shared hilarious stories, in both English and Spanish. He also delivered laughs in a dramatic, telenovela-themed sketch, which told the story of a fictional, wealthy family.

You can see the performance of “Monaco” above.

Bad Bunny Took Command Of The Stage In A Performance Of ‘Un Preview’ On ‘Saturday Night Live’

In his first musical performance of the night, Bad Bunny took to the Saturday Night Live stage, performing “Un Preview” from his new album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana.

Ahead of the performance, Lady Gaga made a surprise appearance to introduce Bunny, who then commands the stage, dancing in front of a coin-operated horse, against a white backdrop.

Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana has been out for over a week, and Bunny is still riding the high of dropping the album. The album became the most streamed album on Spotify in a single day within the first 24 hours of its release. And this performance was simply “un preview” of what to expect from his upcoming tour.

Gaga isn’t the only famous friend of Bunny to make a surprise appearance. Earlier in the night, Bunny was joined by The Last Of Us actor Pedro Pascal in the middle of his opening monologue. In a dramatic telenovela-themed sketch, Rolling Stones lead vocalist Mick Jagger made an appearance, playing an actor who was starring as the patriarch of the fictional Padilla family.

As his star-studded list of supporters would suggest, Bunny’s music has proven timeless for fans across various generations.

Bad Bunny And Mick Jagger Turned Up The Drama In A Heated Novela On ‘Saturday Night Live’

by

It was a star-studded night on tonight’s broadcast of Saturday Night Live. While Bad Bunny was certainly the star of the show, some of his special friends swung by, amping up the razzle-dazzle.

In a hilarious sketch, Bunny and Marcello Hernandez star in a novela called El Pasion De Las Padillas. And as with any novela, the stakes and drama were at a high. In the sketch, Bowen Yang directs a scene, which Bunny and Hernandez just can seem to get right. In tandem with the filming, Punkie Johnson further delivers on the comedy with her misunderstandings of Spanish, which lead to some quick-witted jokes, and ultimately, Johnson’s own show.

But shortly before, as drama ensues between Bunny and Hernandez, whose characters are playing brothers in the scene, the patriarch of the Padillas arrives to set. The father? The one and only Rolling Stones lead vocalist Mick Jagger.

Last Friday, Bunny released his fifth studio album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, which has since received much acclaim. This weekend, Jagger is also riding a high with his Rolling Stones bandmates, as the British rockstars just released their 26th album, Hackney Diamonds.

Bad Bunny Hilariously Addressed NBC’s ‘Speaking In Non-English’ Controversy In His ‘Saturday Night Live’ Opening Monologue

by

Bad Bunny pulled double duty tonight (October 21) on Saturday Night Live, as both the host and the musical performer for this week’s episode. His new album title, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana, translates to “Nobody Knows What’s Going To Happen Tomorrow,” but we can bet this record will bring in a promising season in his career.

Kicking off the show with a bang, Bad Bunny delivered a humorous opening monologue, during which, he assured the audience that he is capable of hosting the show in both English in Spanish.

“I can order McDonald’s in English, I can have sex in English, but I prefer sex in Spanish,” Bunny said.

He continued, delivering his monologue in Spanish, and during this portion, a subtitle reading “Speaking In Non-English” appeared on-screen. This alludes to a situation last season, when Pedro Pascal was hosting, and delivering his opening monologue in Spanish. The subtitles read “Speaking In Non-English,” to the chagrin of Spanish speakers.

Bunny was not having this, and immediately asked the powers that be to make the necessary corrections.

The subtitle then read “Speaking In Sexier Language.”

Shortly after, Pascal himself made a surprise appearance in the monologue.

Tonight marks the Puerto Rican superstar’s first time hosting SNL, his second time as the show’s musical guest, and his third overall appearance. In April 2020, Bunny appeared in a special “at-home” episode of SNL at the early onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and performed as the musical guest in a February 2021 episode, with Bridgerton actor Regé-Jean Page hosting.

Bad Bunny Tells Heidi Gardner ‘Don’t Go’ To Puerto Rico In His Hilarious ‘Saturday Night Live’ Promo

by

On the heels of his new album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana, Bad Bunny is gearing up to host Saturday Night Live this weekend. Over the course of the past week, SNL has teased Bunny’s appearance with a picture of the Puerto Rican superstar at the table read. Tonight (October 19), SNL has shared the promo for Bunny’s upcoming appearance.

In the promo, Bunny and SNL cast member Heidi Gardner tease the episode. Gardner tells Bunny, “I’ve always wanted to go to ‘Porto Rico.’”

Bunny then corrects her, with the right pronunciation of Puerto Rico.

Gardner continues to mispronounce Puerto Rico, and in response, Bunny simply tells Gardner, “You know what? Don’t go, please.”

In another promo, Gardner tells Bunny how much she loves the message of his music. But she can’t quite explain why she does. Not because Bunny’s music is primarily in Spanish, but because the lyrics are too hot for TV. The final promo features Bunny pushing away a mosquito from a terrified Gardner.

You can see all three promotional clips above.

Bad Bunny’s episode of Saturday Night Live will air this Saturday (October 21) at 11:30 p.m. EST on NBC, and will also stream on Peacock.
