The latest celebrity to take the stage was Jenna Ortega. This was the first hosting gig for the 20-year-old actress, whose new comedy Wednesday continues to break ratings records for Netflix. Going on the show, she was purposely “upbeat” so viewers wouldn’t confuse her with her gothic, grumpy Wednesday Addams character. Ortega’s episode aired on March 11, 2023, with a musical guest The 1975. Memorable sketches included The Parent Trap, Ridiculousness, and Waffle House.
A week earlier Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce by the Kansas City Chiefs hosted “Saturday Night Live” on March 4, 2023 with a musical guest Kelsea Ballerini.
