What's special in the latest episode?
British-Zimbabwean actor Rege-Jean Page will take over as the host on Saturday, February 20. He recently shot to fame when his show ‘Bridgerton’ got international recognition. He got his first acting break opposite Jonathan Pryce in the plays ‘The History Boys’ and ‘The Merchant of Venice’.
The 31-year-old shared the good news with his Instagram fans where he shared the typical ‘SNL’ sticky notes revealing his name alongside the date and his musical guest which is none other than Big Bunny. He captioned the post, "Saturday Night @nbcsnl." After his big break with ‘Bridgerton’, he was also nominated for two SAG Awards recently. Thanks to his popularity, the London native is also being considered as the next James Bond.
What to expect?
‘Saturday Night Live’ is known for its slapstick comedy and sharp commentary on the latest issues but with a funny twist. Continuing the ritual, we can expect a rib-tickling opening monologue from Rege-Jean Page. SNL is also famous for its comedy sketches that often parody contemporary culture and politics. Therefore, we can certainly expect Page to display his exceptional acting skills on the show.
When it comes to Bad Bunny, he is equally a powerhouse performer. The Puerto Rican rapper, singer and songwriter has scored 36 Billboard Hot 100 tracks along with several awards and recognitions. He had also performed at Super Bowl LIV alongside Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, and J. Balvin. On SNL, the young star is expected to belt out his latest hits like ‘Booker T’ and ‘Dakiti’ on the show.
