Bad Bunny was supported by some huge stars while pulling double duty as host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live.
During Saturday’s (Oct. 21) episode, the Puerto Rican star was introduced by Lady Gaga for his first musical performance, appeared in a telenovela sketch alongside a moustached Mick Jagger, and got some interpreting help from Pedro Pascal during the monologue.

Prior to Benito’s performance of “Un Preview,” from his latest album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, Gaga surprised viewers by stepping onstage to announce in a Spanish accent, “Puerto Rico y todo el corillo, Bad Bunny!” It marked the pop star and actress’ first SNL appearance since 2016.

Elsewhere in the episode, Jagger appeared in the “Telenovela” sketch with Bunny, who portrayed a Spanish soap opera actor who gets slapped multiple times by his villainous father, played by the iconic Rolling Stones singer. Jagger made another cameo during the “Convent Meeting” skit, a hilarious parody of Sister Act 3.

The NBC comedy show kicked off with a monologue from Bad Bunny, featuring Last of Us star Pascal, who showed up to assist with translating and give the music star comical advice for his opener. Pascal later appeared in a skit as an overprotective mother alongside the Puerto Rican rapper-singer.

Bad Bunny, who previously appeared as a guest on SNL in 2021, recently celebrated the release of his fifth studio album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana. The set serves as a follow-up to his blockbuster 2022 album, Un Verano Sin Ti, which topped the Billboard 200 for 13 weeks.

Pedro Pascal Wants This Prince Hit Played at His Funeral

Pedro Pascal is the latest celebrity to take on First We Feast’s Hot Ones challenge, in which stars eat ten chicken wings or vegan substitutes, with each wing prepared with a progressively hotter hot sauce. Meanwhile, they’ll will answer thoughtful and well-researched questions from host and co-creator Sean Evans.

The Last of Us actor made it all the way through the 10-wing challenge, maintaining his calm and cool personality as much as he could amid the heat. On the last chicken wing, dipped in Hot Ones’ own The Last Dab Apollo sauce, Evans brought up Pascal’s love for Prince, and asked him “Purple Rain” is the song the star would want played at his funeral.

“It’s my favorite song. It’s the most moving song,” Pascal shared. “I don’t know why, but it always emerges even before I actively started implementing it into my spiritual routine, essentially. I didn’t go to church. I was raised by HBO, [Steven] Spielberg and Prince. For me, ‘Purple Rain’ is the most emotionally cathartic, the most musically sophisticated song that I can think of. If it’s casually or spontaneously playing somewhere, I don’t have emotional space to go there because it just moves me so deeply.”

Watch the full episode of Hot Ones below, in which Pedro Pascal talks The Mandalorian, The Last of Us and more.
