Bad Bunny moderates “Saturday Night Live” on October 4th – the second time in a row.
Bad Bunny was recently not only chosen for the Half Time Show of the next Super Bowl-he is now also writing “SNL” story. Just a few months after visiting the US cult series as a music guest, he will moderate the premiere of the 51st season on October 4.
Recommendations of the editorial team
Twice in a row on the same show – what exception. In front of him, only Tom Hanks made it in 1988, who moderated the penultimate episode of season 13 and the first episode of the 14th season of “SNL”. However, this was only possible because the officially last edition of the 13th season was not broadcast due to an author: indoor strike.
From the music guest to the “SNL” veteran?
The premiere of the 51st season is only his second appearance as a moderator, but the rapper is now almost a regular guest of the show. He has already been invited three times: his first appearance was at “Snl at Home” in 2020, a year later he appeared live on the show and in 2023 he took on a double role as a moderator and musical performer.
Most recently, he was seen in February this year during the anniversary show for the 50th anniversary of the show. He played a few of his songs at the homecoming concert and was part of the “Lonely Island Montage” before appearing in the anniversary special as Domingo’s “hot brother”. “You could have been in the line-up,” said “Snl” master player Amy Poehler to him at the time. “But don’t say that Jon Hamm.”
First trailer for the new episode
At his first appearance as a moderator, the singer reacted to allegations that he could not moderate the show because English was his second language. “I don’t know if you know that, but I do what I want,” he replied. He will also maintain this attitude in the coming episode on October 4, in which Doja Cat will be there as a musical guest.
Now the first one appeared Trailer To the new episode. There the rapper is very comfortable, apparently he feels pretty comfortable on the set of “Saturday Night Live”. In the video, actress Sarah Sherman says: “It’s so cool that Bad Bunny is back. I have the feeling that he has been here very often lately.” Then she asks her “SNL” colleague Marcello Hernández if he would not find that Bad Bunny has something to Feel. The trailer shows a number of flashbacks with moments when the reggaeton star Sherman’s assumption confirms. A scene, for example, shows “SNL” player Ben Marshall, who is welcomed by Bad Bunny in a not exactly polite way. “What’s up, bitch?” He says to Marshall, he reacts with hesitant laugh: “You don’t know me well enough for that.”
At the beginning of the year, the 50th season of the show received three “Creative Arts”-Memmys, and on Saturday, October 4, “Saturday Night Live” returns with Bad Bunny, Doja Cat and Role Model.
Record -breaking
It should not be surprising that Bad Bunny is given such a show business. The Puertorican musician became known in the last few months of his career to break records. According to the Guinness Book of Records, for example, his fourth studio album is the most streamed album ever, to name just one of eleven examples. Most recently, the rapper was also elected as the first male Latino solo artist for the break performance of the Super Bowl.
