The Duke of Hastings himself will be live from New York next Saturday night.
Regé-Jean Page, one of Netflix’s breakout stars Bridgerton, is to host Saturday Night Live next week, February 20.
It’s been a big few months for the British-Zimbabwean actor thanks to the huge success of the drama series Shondaland and his supporting role alongside Tessa Thompson in the feature film Sylvia’s Love from Amazon.
He will be joined by rapper Bad Bunny, who will be the music guest. Bad Bunny is best known for his collaborations with the likes of Cardi B and Drake, and performed at last year’s Super Bowl halftime show alongside Jennifer Lopez and Shakira.
It highlights Page’s SNL debut, while Bad Bunny appeared in a remote production of the NBC show alongside Keenan Thompson last April. Earlier on Saturday, UK outlets caught Page on a plane to New York for what they described as a TV job.
Next week’s show is the fourth of five consecutive shows on NBC.
Regina King is hosting this week with Nathaniel Rateliff as a musical guest, with John Krasinski and Dan Levy recent hosts with musical guests including Phoebe Bridgers and Machine Gun Kelly.
SNL will take place on February 27. It is being co-produced with Broadway Video. The creator and executive producer is Lorne Michaels.
