Many celebrities came out to support Bad Bunny during his first hosting gig on Saturday Night Live tonight. With the Puerto Rican superstar bringing a major Latine presence to the show, music icons like the Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger and Lady Gaga were surprisingly speaking Spanish along with him.
Bad Bunny pulled double duty as the guest and co-host of SNL. The first special guest to appear was Chilean-American actor Pedro Pascal, who playfully served as Bad Bunny’s translator during his monologue. Pascal appeared again in drag with Bad Bunny when they played Marcello Hernandez’s madre and tía respectively in a funny skit.
Pascal came out once more at the end to introduce Bad Bunny’s second performance of his song “Monaco.”
Hernandez, who is of Cuban and Dominican descent, joined Bad Bunny in many of his skits that were in Spanglish. In an all-Spanish skit about the 16th century age of exploration, Venezuelan-American comedian Fred Armisen returned to SNL. Armisen was a cast member on the show for eleven years before leaving in 2013.
Bad Bunny lived out his telenovela villain fantasy in skit called “El Pasión De Las Padillas” A major surprise guest was the Rolling Stones’ frontman Mick Jagger. He came out as the top boss and slapped around both Bad Bunny and Hernandez while speaking his lines in Spanish very well. Jagger came out a second time playing a nun with Bad Bunny.
Lady Gaga was another major guest star. She introduced Bad Bunny’s first performance of his song “Un Preview” from his latest album Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana. Lady Gaga spoke fully in Spanish as well when she shouted out “Puerto Rico y todo el corillo” on his behalf.
In other Bad Bunny news, he will go on his Most Wanted Tour in the U.S. next year. The 31-city trek will kick off on Feb. 21 in Salt Lake City, UT.
Saturday Night Live airs Saturdays at 11:30 ET with episodes available on Peacock the following day.
