Ice Spice’s career continues to soar. She took the stage at Saturday Night Live and left her mark on Studio 8H.
Hypebeast is reporting that the Bronx, New York, native made her SNL debut this past weekend. Hosted by alumni, and what seems to be a forever enemy to Kanye West, Pete Davidson, the episode was the launch to the iconic series’ 49th season. While the American late-night live television sketch show didn’t produce any comedic moments that have since gone viral, it seems the crowd was ready to see the “Bikini Bottom” rapper do her thing.

During her first set Ice Spice performed “In Ha Mood” while being backed by two female dancers. She breezed through the song while teasing her signature assets via a cropped t-shirt and high-cut denim shorts. For her second performance she was introduced by none other than Taylor Swift. The “I Knew You Would Be Trouble” singer was in the house to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce who contributed to an earlier sketch. From there Ice Spice brought her newest single “Pretty Girl” to life with help from Nigerian singer songwriter Rema.
Earlier this year the MC released the deluxe version to her Like..? EP. She would then go on to work with Dunkin’ for an “Ice Spice Munchkins Drink.” You can watch Ice Spice’s Saturday Night Live sets below.

Steve Martin has hosted four season openers, more than anyone else. But who is the most frequent musical guest on a season premiere?
Saturday Night Live is coming back! The NBC late-night staple announced that its 49th season will premiere Oct. 14 with Pete Davidson hosting and Ice Spice as the musical guest. Former SNL castmember Davidson was supposed to host the show on May 6, alongside musical guest Lil Uzi Vert, before the writers’ strike canceled all […]
Molly Shannon is a Saturday Night Live veteran. The beloved former cast member (1995-2001) who gave the world such gloriously weird characters as 50-and-proud high kicker Sally O’Malley, Catholic school student Mary Katherine Gallagher and super mellow NPR “Delicious Dish” host Terry Rialto is firmly in her element in the promo videos for this weekend’s SNL.
Hanging with musical guests the Jonas Brothers and cast member Ego Nwodim, the bubbly The Other Two star excitedly introduces the sibling trio in the first clip, with Nwodim asking Joe, Nick and Kevin if they’re psyched for the SNL Easter egg hunt.
Sadly, a leather jacket-wearing Nick informs her, “we can’t participate in that,” with Joe explaining that their mom said they’re not allowed to have chocolate. “It makes us too hyper,” adds father of two Kevin, 35.
In a second bit, Nwodim notes that spring has sprung outside, suggesting they take the show outdoors to take advantage of the nice weather. The whole gang leaves, with Shannon and Nwodim quickly returning after having second thoughts and realizing the boys are gone. “Oh shoot,” Molly says. “I think we lost the Jonas Brothers!” But then Nwodim reminds Shannon that she can sing and they seem fine with the Bros being no-shows.
In the final promo, Ego admits to Shannon that she’s a huge fan, a compliment Molly seems touched by. “Honestly, I’m a little nervous to be performing with you,” Nwodim tells her comedy hero. “Yeah, same,” the JoBros second. So Shannon offers them the best tip to beat those nerves: stick your hands in your armpits, duh!

Lil Yachty has some very bad news for Saturday Night Live cast member Sarah Sherman in one of the promos for this weekend’s show. “Oh my God!,” a nervous Sherman yelps after this week’s host, Abbott Elementary star/producer/writer Quinta Brunson, introduces herself.
“What?” a surprised Brunson asks.
“I just realized, I haven’t paid my taxes,” Sherman frets about not filling out her forms before tax day descends in two weeks. “Oh, that’s okay. You still have a couple weeks,” Brunson assures the sketch player.
“No, I just realized I haven’t paid my taxes… ever,” Sherman squeaks.
After standing silently through two bits, a shades-wearing Yachty laughs and says, “Damn, you are going to jail.”
Sherman is equally sweaty in the first promo, where Brunson tries to talk the comedian off her hyperventilating edge by revealing that it’s Sarah’s first promo shoot and asking her if she’s okay. “Yeah, sorry, I’ve never done this before,” Sherman sheepishly apologizes as Brunson says she can tell.
“Hi, I’m Quinta Brunson and I will be hosting…,” Sherman stammers with eyes wide open. “Oh, no, see that’s my line,” Quinta explains as she and Yachty comfort the clearly shook SNLer. The third bit, of course, leans into a school/detention joke.
