Hey folks, guess what? Jacob Elordi, the Aussie heartthrob, rocked the stage at Saturday Night Live (SNL) on Jan. 20. It was his first time hosting the show in 2024, and let me tell you, it was pure fire on social media.
You might remember Jacob from Netflix's lovey-dovey flick, The Kissing Booth, or HBO's Euphoria. But this year, he took the spotlight in Sofia Coppola's Priscilla and the psychological thriller Saltburn.
SNL did what SNL does best—comedy sketches galore! They poked fun at current events, celebs, and the latest crazes. They even highlighted Jacob's impressive 6 ft. 5 in. stature and his handsome looks, causing fans all over the internet to go gaga.
The episode wasn't just about Jacob; there were killer performances by Reneé Rapp, the musical sensation from the Mean Girls reboot, Rachel McAdams (aka Regina George from the OG Mean Girls), and rapper Megan Thee Stallion.
Now, let's dive into some memorable sketches:
Alaska Airlines Ad Spoof:
SNL rolled out a faux Alaska Airlines ad, making light of a recent disaster. The fake airline employees introduced the slogan “You didn’t die and you got a cool story.” They even interviewed a "real passenger" who went from terrified to the "coolest person at the office." The actors cracked jokes about making "small changes," like tightening bolts to keep the plane together. On a serious note, there's an ongoing investigation and passengers are suing Alaska Airlines and Boeing.
Crown Your Short King:
In a pretend reality TV dating show called "Crown Your Short King," SNL's Chloe Fineman was choosing between bachelors under 5 ft. 8 in. Enter Jacob Elordi as a last-minute contestant, claiming he needed $200,000 and already having a girlfriend. The sketch ended with Fineman and Elordi hilariously faking a make-out session, sparking a social media frenzy.
Saltburn Scene Joke:
Jacob kicked off his hosting gig with a cheeky remark about a certain explicit scene in Saltburn. He joked that you might recognize him not for the film but for a TikTok video of a steamy moment in a grave. He apologized to those who watched it with their parents and gave a cheeky "you're welcome" to those who saw it with their significant others.
Celebrity Lip Reading:
Ever wonder what celebrities are saying? Elordi and SNL's Bowen Yang tried their hand at lip reading on a fake TV entertainment news show. With comically bad interpretations, they hilariously dubbed over clips of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, and even pretended that Gwyneth Paltrow confessed to murder during her skiing trial.
All in all, Jacob Elordi's SNL debut was a hit, leaving us laughing and scrolling through social media for more. Can't wait to see what the next SNL episode brings!
