Harry Styles Surprises Marcello Hernández in Fun ‘SNL’ Promo
Harry Styles is set to take on dual roles as both host and musical guest this week on Saturday Night Live, but he faced a minor hiccup during rehearsals. According to a promotional clip from NBC’s late-night show, Styles lost approximately 15 minutes of preparation time.
The unexpected delay occurred when comedian Marcello Hernández stepped onto the Studio 8H stage, dressed in an outfit reminiscent of Styles and aiming to perform the singer’s new song "American Girls." Issues arose when Hernández realized he was being watched by Styles and fellow cast member Kenan Thompson.
“I thought you weren’t coming, so I thought I would just go on as your understudy,” Hernández explained upon noticing the pair.
In response, Styles playfully noted that his tardiness was due to a short outing with Thompson for a couple of pain au chocolats, a tradition he maintains while hosting. Thompson added a humorous reprimand, stating, “You forgot the pain au chocolat.”
This appearance marks Styles’ second time hosting SNL, with his first hosting engagement occurring in 2019. He has previously performed as a musical guest multiple times. His upcoming performance follows the recent release of his latest album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, which debuted last week as a follow-up to his Grammy-winning album, Harry’s House, from 2022.
