The Most Wanted Tour' After SNL Triumph
Bad Bunny hosted and performed on SNL's 49th season, delivering a memorable show with a surprise cameo by Pedro Pascal.
During his monologue, Bad Bunny seamlessly transitioned between English and Spanish, explaining that English wasn't his first language. To help him out, Pascal joined him on stage and playfully translated a few lines. Pascal then joked, "He says 'I'm blessed to be here with my favorite actor, Pedro Pascal.'"
Two friends discussed a monologue. Pascal advised self-deprecating humor or embarrassing photos. Bad Bunny shared a funny photo of himself almost naked. Pascal teased him about being perfect. Bad Bunny thanked his fans and ended the monologue.
The collaboration between Bad Bunny and Pascal continued as they featured in a hilarious sketch where Pascal portrayed a mom unimpressed by her son's latest girlfriend.
Following various sketches, Bad Bunny returned to his musical roots, performing his hits "Un Preview," which was introduced by a surprise cameo from Lady Gaga, and "Monaco," introduced by Pascal.
Just two days before his SNL appearance, Bad Bunny had announced a 31-city North American tour, set to kick off in February 2024 in Salt Lake City, Utah. According to a press release, each performance on Bad Bunny's The Most Wanted Tour promises to be an "experience curated for day-one fans."
This exciting tour announcement followed the release of Bad Bunny's highly-anticipated album, "Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana" (Nobody Knows What Will Happen Tomorrow) on October 13. This album comes on the heels of his award-winning "Un Verano Sin Ti," which was nominated for Album of The Year at the 65th Grammy Awards and won the Grammy Award for Best Música Urbana Album.
Bad Bunny's takeover of SNL followed Pete Davidson's hosting debut at the season premiere, which was initially canceled due to the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike. The premiere episode also featured surprise cameo appearances by Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, who were spotted at the afterparty along with Davidson and his new flame, Madelyn Cline.
Looking ahead, the third episode of SNL's 49th season is set to air on October 28, with Grammy-nominated stand-up comedian Nate Bargatze hosting.
