Bad Bunny took center stage as host of Saturday Night Live’s Season 51 premiere, with his opening monologue taking a comedic twist when actor Jon Hamm made a surprise appearance.
The 31-year-old rapper and global music sensation—who is set to headline the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show early next year—opened his monologue by reflecting on his recent concert residency in Puerto Rico and the A-list guests who attended.
Referencing viral footage of Hamm dancing at one of his shows, Bad Bunny joked, “Some celebrities came to my show. A few of them were on drugs. I don’t want to say who, but it was Jon Hamm.”
As the clip played to the audience’s amusement, the rapper quipped, “Actually, that wasn’t Jon Hamm—that was Juan Jamon.” Moments later, cameras cut to Hamm seated in the live audience, wearing the same bucket hat and patterned shirt from the viral video. Grinning, the Mad Men star playfully mimicked the dance moves, drawing thunderous applause and laughter from the crowd.
“I think he’s obsessed with me,” Bad Bunny teased, keeping the lighthearted banter going.
The artist also poked fun at himself, describing his onstage dance routines as “complicated choreography,” before a clip humorously showed him hopping from side to side. “That looked simple, but that took me a long time to learn,” he deadpanned.
In closing, Bad Bunny hinted at what fans can expect from his upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show performance, rounding off an opening monologue filled with self-aware humor, celebrity cameos, and undeniable charm.#newsafro_
