As it happens week after week, the Saturday Night Live team brings in the current stars to perform multiple sketches and presentations on the stages of the legendary studio. Following Jacob Elordi and Dakota Johnson, it was Ayo Edebiri‘s turn, the young comedian who gained great popularity after The Bear.
Her role as Sydney in the FX series not only led her to win an Emmy, a Golden Globe and a Critics Choice Award in a single week but also established her as one of the industry’s rising stars. Now it’s time for her to have her first experience in front of the iconic show’s audience, which has been on the air for 49 seasons.
Jennifer Lopez was chosen as the guest musical artist, so we will see her perform some songs from her latest album, This Is Me… Now. The singer is not only about to release the album in February but is also preparing for her biopic about her journey to fame, her romantic relationships and her success in the industry.
