Ayo Edebiri is taking her SNL hosting gig seriously in the first Promo of the famed show
Ayo Edebiri will lead this weekend’s Saturday Night Live with Jennifer Lopez as a musical guest. On Wednesday, NBC unveiled a rather hilarious promo of the show to get the audience hyped. But before getting the audience hyped, this week’s host Ayo Edebiri was faced with a task to get the cast members of the sketch show hyped, and she managed the task well. 
The promo unveiled last night shows Edebiri walking into Studio 8H to witness Mikey Day, Ego Nwodim, and Molly Kearney exhausted and planning an out from the show. “Two shows in a row man, I am beat!” Day sighs as he takes a seat next to Kearney who reciprocates his feelings. “Yeah, I don’t know if I can do this a third time,” she says. “Maybe we call Lorne [Michales] and tell him we all got hit by a car?” Nwodim provides.
Ayo, who's quietly standing in the corner and listening to the group decides to hype them up. She begins by delivering a Ted Lasso-style speech accompanied by dramatic music. “This show could be the greatest show of our lives and you're just gonna let that opportunity slip away?” she asks. The trio, the subject of her moving speech could not care less though. Edebiri then spins another tale to boost their excitement.
“100 million people will be watching,” she exaggerates the viewership number, but again, the beat-up SNL cast refuses to buy it. Edebiri then explains, “I just wanted to get you guys hyped because this is my first time hosting, and J.Lo is also going to be the musical guest,” and boom! The depleted cast jumps up, all enthusiastic. Getting caught up in their excitement, Mikey Day, Ego Nwodim, and Molly Kearney slap a TV screen on their way out, leaving Edebiri to contemplate if she is “going to be charged for that?”
