Get ready for a wild ride this weekend as heartthrob Jacob Elordi gears up for his hosting debut on the legendary “Saturday Night Live” stage. In a hilarious and slightly clumsy promo video released on the show’s X page, the “Euphoria” star takes us behind the scenes of his preparations, and it’s safe to say he’s diving headfirst into the SNL experience.
Watch as Elordi grapples with a touch of stage fright while attempting to master the art of descending the iconic SNL staircase with the same flawless finesse as past hosts Kim Kardashian and Zac Efron. “They all make it look so easy,” Elordi nervously mutters, standing at the top of the three-step staircase in Studio 8H.
But fear not, because cast members Punkie Johnson and Marcello Hernandez come to the rescue, offering words of encouragement to the nervous host-in-waiting. The result? A series of hilariously feeble attempts that will have you in stitches. Will Elordi conquer the stairs, or will he succumb to the challenges of live comedy?
Spoiler alert: After some slapstick-worthy moments, Elordi finally takes that crucial step, only to face-plant onto the stage. At least he lands on his mark, right? As Johnson and Hernandez make a swift exit, attempting to play it cool, Elordi, sprawled on the floor, lifts his head just enough to reassure everyone, saying, “I’m good!”
The upcoming episode of “SNL” promises to kick off 2024 with a bang. Elordi, best known for his roles in “Euphoria” and “The Kissing Booth” film franchise, will be joined by the talented Reneé Rapp, star of the new “Mean Girls” reboot. From stumbling on the stairs to delivering laughs on live television, Jacob Elordi is set to prove that he’s not just a heartthrob but a comedic force to be reckoned with. Don’t miss the laughter, the mishaps, and the charm as Elordi takes center stage on the first “SNL” episode of the year.
