30 Rock isn’t Bad Bunny‘s house, but he knows his way around. In the latest trailer for Saturday Night Live‘s Season 51 premiere, the returning host gets a little too comfortable with the cast he worked with during his other appearances on the show and introduces new members to his chaos.
Bad Bunny last hosted SNL in October 2023, but returned earlier this year as musical guest and appeared in a few sketches for the hell of it — so you can’t blame him for feeling at home there. In the promo clip, he borrows Jane Wickline’s toothbrush (don’t worry, he let her know after he used it!) and volunteers newcomer Veronika Slowikowska’s apartment as a place for his friend to crash along with his baby and dog (they all bite, by the way).
During his first hosting gig, Bad Bunny bit back at criticisms that he wouldn’t be able to host since English is his second language. “I don’t know if they know,” he responded, “but I do whatever I want.” He’ll bring this same sentiment to the upcoming Oct. 4 episode, which features musical guest Doja Cat.
He’ll also carry it all the way to the Super Bowl. Earlier this week, Bad Bunny was revealed to be the Super Bowl LX halftime show headliner. The history-making artist will be the first to deliver a fully non-English performance on the historic stage. “I’m really excited for my friends, my family,” he told Apple Music following the announcement. “Puerto Rico, all the Latino people around the world. I’m excited about my culture. I’m excited about everything, not just for me.”
After Bad Bunny kicks off Season 51, SNL will pass the baton to host Amy Poehler with musical guest Role Model, followed by Sabrina Carpenter‘s double-duty takeover as both host and musical guest.
