      The coronavirus lockdown in New York has prompted the writers and producers of the sketch variety show to scrap the upcoming three episodes, including one featuring the ‘A Quiet Place’ director.
      Mar 17, 2020
      AceShowbiz – John Krasinski’s dream of hosting “Saturday Night Live” will have to wait. His upcoming episode has been postponed.
      The coronavirus lock down in New York has prompted the “SNL” writers and producers to scrap the next three shows, including Krasinski’s hosting debut, which was to feature Dua Lipa as the musical guest, on 28 March.
      The actor and director, who last week shelved the release of his “A Quiet Place” sequel due to the health crisis, recently confessed hosting “SNL” was a dream come true.
      “I was eight years old when I found an old black and white TV in my parents’ basement, I snuck it under my bed and was watching, basically, every ‘SNL’ from eight to 18 – and I only told my mom (recently),” he said in an interview earlier this month (March). “She was like, ‘I’m sorry, what?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I used to set my alarm to 11.30 and watch from 11.30 to 1(am) and then go back to bed.’ ”
      “To say it’s (hosting ‘SNL’) a dream come true is an understatement.”

      AceShowbiz – Justin Theroux made a surprise appearance on “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) over the weekend (February 29) to help cast member Kyle Mooney get fit.
      The 48-year-old actor popped up in a sketch, in which Kyle decided to transform himself after being left out of host John Mulaney’s proposed skit about male strippers.
      During the segment, the star, along with a nutritionist, helped Kyle work on his physique, only to be blindsided when John decided to cut the sketch and write one about nerdy guys instead.

      Elsewhere in the episode, Jake Gyllenhaal also surprised fans with an appearance alongside comedian Mulaney, who hosted the sketch show for the third time.

      The ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ star dresses up in drag costume as he receives a dramatic makeover from the ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ judge on ‘Saturday Night Live’.
      Feb 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Pete Davidson was given a complete drag makeover by “Saturday Night Live” host RuPaul during this weekend’s February 8, 2020 instalment.
      As the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” judge took on presenting duties, show regular Davidson returned in his role as Chad – a lovable idiot who’s very agreeable and down for anything.
      In the pre-taped segment, RuPaul appeared as himself, and was seen posing for a photoshoot for the cover of Drag magazine as he lamented that the world of drag needs a new star.
      “Everyone take five!” RuPaul declares to the crew, turning to Chad. “Leave me, with the future of drag.”
      He tells Davidson’s character, “There’s something dynamic about you, boy! Have you ever done drag?”
      “Naw, just weed and pills,” Chad says with a shrug and a blank expression, before RuPaul begins the makeover.
      “Step one: The Tuck!” RuPaul explains, teaching him to disguise his bulge, before presenting Chad with a dress, fake breasts, and finally applying his make-up.
      Eventually, the “Skin Wars” host completes the full look, but Chad ends up walking away because he finds being a drag queen too much hard work.

      The “Saturday Night Live” social media pages also shared a time lapse video of Davidson’s full make-up session to transform Chad into his drag persona, The Queen.
