Key Highlights

• Promo Spot: Bad Bunny and Doja Cat showcase their comedic chemistry in a new SNL promo.
• Season Premiere: The episode airs on Oct. 4, featuring Bad Bunny as host and Doja Cat as the musical guest.
• Upcoming Guests: Amy Poehler and Sabrina Carpenter are set to host in upcoming episodes.

Bad Bunny and Doja Cat purposely don’t vibe with Chloe Fineman’s humor in the silly promo spot for this weekend’s Saturday Night Live episode.

The clip, shared by NBC on Thursday (Oct. 2), features three takes from the trio previewing what’s to come on SNL‘s season premiere on Oct. 4, when Bad Bunny will host and Doja Cat will appear as musical guest. Fineman is among the regulars on the show, though several castmates departed ahead of Season 51.

“Hi, I’m Bad Bunny, and I’ll be hosting the season premiere of SNL this week with Doja Cat,” Benito says in the first take. Fineman cuts in to quip, “Bad Bunny. Doja Cat. And I’m Chloe Salamander.”

In take two, Bad Bunny hypes up the Super Bowl — on which he’ll headline the halftime show — and shrugs off the excitement of being on SNL.

And in take three, Doja Cat puts her trust in Bad Bunny (instead of cast member Fineman) when it comes to expertise on being in front of the SNL camera. “Chloe, he’s done this before,” she says.

Following the Oct. 4 season premiere, this season’s lineup so far includes SNL veteran Amy Poehler as host with first-time musical guest Role Model on Oct. 11, and Sabrina Carpenter as host and musical guest on Oct. 18. Though it’ll mark Carpenter’s debut as host, she’s no stranger to the Studio 8H stage, having performed on Saturday Night Live in 2024 and during the SNL50: The Anniversary Special earlier this year.
