Bad Bunny, el primero presentador de la nueva temporada de ‘Saturday
Night Live,’ tenía un mensaje para todos: “If you didn’t
understand what I just said, you have four months to learn.”
During his monologue, the musician didn’t shy away from the backlash
that stemmed from the recent announcement that he’d be the next . In
fact, he had a lot of fun with it, joking, “I think everybody’s
happy about it – even Fox News.”
What followed was a collection of short clips featuring Fox News
personalities, who in a spliced-together edit collectively said: “Bad
Bunny is my favorite musician, and he should be the next president.”
He then addressed the audience in Spanish, expressing his excitement
about doing the Super Bowl, adding, “I know that people all around
the world who love my music are also happy.”
He continued: “More than just my achievement, it’s everyone’s
achievement, proving that no one can ever erase or take away
(Latinos’) mark and our contribution to this country.”
That’s when he returned to speaking English, encouraging those who
didn’t understand his words to learn in the coming weeks.
Bad Bunny is fresh off a long residency of concerts solely performed in
Puerto Rico — he went “on tour but at home,” to New York
Magazine.
His run of shows , economists estimated.
His January album, “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS,” which was his sixth
solo album, has spent 38 weeks on the Billboard 200 list.
Despite Bad Bunny’s immense popularity, some US government officials
and conservative media have tried to turn his Super Bowl appearance
into a culture war, primarily over his . Kristi Noem, the Homeland
Security secretary, would be in attendance at the Super Bowl and said
that “people should not be coming to the Super Bowl unless they’re
law-abiding Americans who love this country.”
She went on to issue a tirade about the NFL itself: “Well, they suck
and we’ll win, and God will bless us and we’ll stand and be proud
of ourselves at the end of the day, and they won’t be able to sleep
at night because they don’t know what they believe. And they’re so
weak, we’ll fix it.”
President Donald Trump — who has served himself as host of
“Saturday Night Live” twice prior to his time in office — has
complained about the show for years. Questions about whether his
administration would try to take action against the late-night show at
some point have started to swirl after it recently targeted Jimmy
Kimmel.
That speculation did little to deter “SNL” from having James Austin
Johnson reprise his role as Trump in the Season 51 cold open in a
sketch that also featured Weekend Update host Colin Jost as Secretary
of Defense Pete Hegseth.
“I’m just here keeping my eye on ‘SNL,’ making sure they
don’t do anything too mean about me, and they better be careful
because I know late-night TV like the back of my hand,” Johnson as
Trump said, holding up a .
He added at the end, “daddy’s watching.”
Next week on “SNL,” presumably: Amy Poehler and musical guest Role
Model. And then, on October 18, Sabrina Carpenter does double duty as
host and musical guest.
