Saturday Night Livecame back with a bang last weekend with hostPete Davidsonfinally making his series return. The high-flying antics only look to continue withSNL’s next episode hosted byBad Bunny. Now, in the latest promo, Bad Bunny is ready for the fight of his life against…himself.
The 45-second clip hasSNLcast memberJames Austin Johnsonintroducing Bad Bunny as if it were aWWEtitle match. While interviewing the singer-songwriter, Bad Bunny’s other half crashes the party with a load of insults. Bad Bunny isn’t only the host, but the musical guest this week as well. The performer is up for the challenge as he takes theSNLstage in the dual role. Bad Bunny’s joining an exclusive club of singers likeBillie EilishandTaylor Swiftwho have pulled off both duties on the popular sketch comedy series.
SNLhas always done a great job playing into their host’s strengths and personal loves. This spot is no different with Bad Bunny’s known love for professional wrestling on full display. Along with the talent being one of the most popular singers in the world the last number of years and a multi time Grammy nominee, Bad Bunny has also started dabbling in acting. Just last year he starred in the incredible action comedyBullet Trainalongside Brad Pitt as well as the biopicCassandrowhich premiered on Amazon Prime Video last month. The latter film was also centered around the wrestling world. Sometime in the near future, Bad Bunny is slated to appear in the Spider-Verse Marvel filmEl Muertofor Sony. However, that wasremoved from the release scheduleearlier this year with no updates.
Whatever the case may be, it’s going to be exciting to see what Bad Bunny has up his sleeve for his hosting debut. Hopefully there’s a wrestling sketch or two to make this promo become a fun reality. This will also be the singer’s second time as the musical guest forSNL.
