SNL Host

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.

Pete Davidson To Host SNL In May

by

Pete Davidson‘s eight-season tenure on Saturday Night Live defined the young comedian’s earlier career. Starting in 2014, Davidson was best known for playing “dumb” characters, such as Chad the Pool Boy, as well as his infamous habit of breaking character. He loved and loathed in equal measure, with people either praising his goofy, frat-like energy or bemoaning that he simply wasn’t funny.

While Davidson appeared in some roles during his time on SNL, such as Set It Up and The King of Staten Island, he is ramping up his commitments after departing the show last year. He will voice a character in the upcoming Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts as well as star in Dumb Money, the biopic about the GameStop short squeeze incident. He will also star in Bupkis, a Peacock Original Series about a fictionalized version of his life.

Davidson Set For SNL Return

First reported by Page Six, Davidson will reportedly host SNL on May 6. The gig will come two days after the premiere of Bupkis on Peacock. While unconfirmed by SNL, the timing makes sense. The show has a history of booking hosts from the entertainment in line with major projects for that individual. However, it will also promise to be a strong episode. Some of the best hosting performances in the show’s run have come from former cast members such as Steve Martin. Martin, alongside Martin Short, most recently hosted in December 2022. The episode set a season-high mark of 5.07 million viewers.

Davidson’s appearance will be one of the final hosts for the show’s 48th season. Season 48 began in October 2022 and has featured hosts such as Miles Teller, Megan Thee Stallion, Dave Chappelle, Aubrey Plaza, Pedro Pascal, Travis Kelce, and Jenny Ortega. The most recently confirmed host, who will appear on the April 15 episode, is Ana de Armas. As SNL has not confirmed Davidson as host, it is unknown who is accompanying musical guest will be. However, one potential option could be Machine Gun Kelly. MGK has been heavily involved with the production of Bupkis and is also set to star in the show. However, fans will have to wait until SNL reveals the May 6 host closer to the time.
