Saturday Night Live is breaking in a pair of first-timers this weekend, with musical guest Olivia Dean and host Glen Powell both making their debuts. And cast members Bowen Yang and Marcello Hernandez aren’t making things easy for them.

“You know how we treat your kind ’round these parts?” Hernandez asks. “You better buckle up, ’cause you’re in for a world of…”
“Dancing!” the pair say in unison, as they break out into some chaotic choreography.
“Ooh! I quite like it,” Dean says with a smile, while Powell had other thoughts: “I was about to pull out my gun.”
Elsewhere in the promos, Hernandez initiates a (very fast) game of hide-and-seek, and Yang and Hernandez do a Freaky Friday body swap (“I’ve bluffed my way through so many Wicked press junkets”).
Dean is capping a breakout year with her SNL debut, following the top 10 Billboard 200 debut of her sophomore album The Art of Loving and her first four entries on the Billboard Hot 100, led by the top five hit “Man I Need.”
Powell is promoting his new movie The Running Man, which arrives in theaters on Friday, as well as season 1 of his Hulu series Chad Powers, which premiered in September.
Saturday Night Live airs at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT on NBC and streams on Peacock. (See all the options to watch SNL here.)
