Hosting Saturday Night Live is a pretty big deal, but Druski is already joking that the show might not survive his debut. The comedian is preparing to take over Studio 8H this weekend, and a new promotional video with cast member Marcello Hernández gives viewers a taste of the humor he's bringing along. Naturally, he's found a way to make even a routine television commercial a little ridiculous.
The new teaser, released Wednesday (Nov. 4), features several exchanges between the two comedians. Hernández starts speaking Spanish, prompting Druski to announce, "You know I'm a little Latino, too." They eventually break into the viral track "Dame Hombro" by Bulin 47 and Kevin Wai, singing and dancing along as Druski shows off his Spanish. The song has become a popular TikTok hit and recently reached No. 11 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart.
The jokes get considerably more outrageous when Druski announces that he's hosting the "last-ever episode" of SNL. A confused Hernández wants an explanation, leading Druski to whisper about potentially wearing or saying something offensive enough to get the show in trouble. In another exchange, Hernández questions his choice of suit, which leads to a joke about a court appearance.

Druski Makes History With His Saturday Night Live Debut
Saturday's (Nov. 7) episode will make Druski's debut as host of Saturday Night Live, with The Strokes serving as musical guests. His selection follows a particularly busy year that included hosting the BET Awards, where he entertained audiences with celebrity impressions and brought his viral megachurch pastor character to the stage.
The comedian has also been expanding his work beyond social media. Earlier this week, he announced a major Netflix deal that includes a new comedy series, Collect & Praise, featuring Mike Epps. The show is scheduled to arrive in December and builds on the popularity of his satirical church sketches.
His SNL appearance has already earned encouragement from some familiar names in Hip Hop. Drake congratulated him on the announcement, while Travis Scott expressed excitement and indicated he planned to attend. Fans will get to see how much of Druski's humor makes it onto live television when the episode airs Saturday at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
