A new Saturday Night Live promo released this week sets up a playful moment ahead of the show’s March 14 episode. The clip shows cast member Marcello Hernandez stepping into the spotlight dressed in one of Harry Styles’ recognizable stage looks while one of Styles’ songs plays in the background.
In the preview, Hernandez leans into the bit with a full impression, including the outfit and dance moves, before the real Styles appears with Kenan Thompson and interrupts him. The exchange quickly turns into a joke about Hernandez trying to fill in as Styles’ understudy after assuming he would not make it.
The promo keeps the tone light and points directly to Styles’ return to the show as both host and musical guest. Thompson joins the scene with a brief gag of his own, helping turn the short clip into a backstage-style comedy moment.
The episode marks another high-profile appearance for Styles on the NBC sketch series, with the promo using his arrival as the center of the joke.
