In the latest SNL promo, the spotlight veers away from the expected stars—movie sensations and pop icons—to land squarely on Saturday Night Live’s Heidi Gardner. Surprised? Well, that’s the beauty of live comedy.

Host Ayo Edebiri and musical guest Jennifer Lopez found themselves playing second fiddle as Gardner effortlessly upstaged them in this week’s promo for the upcoming Saturday night show.

The promo kicks off with a touch of banter between Ayo and JLo, setting the stage for some classic SNL humor.

However, the real twist comes when Gardner enters the scene. In a witty move, she intentionally confuses JLo’s nickname for another artist, throwing everyone off balance. The singer steps in to correct the playful mix-up, only to be met with another unexpected revelation from Edebiri.

In this unpredictable turn of events, Gardner emerges as the true star of the promo, showcasing the spontaneity and humor that SNL is renowned for. It’s a reminder that, in the world of live comedy, even the most scripted moments can take an entertaining detour.

As anticipation builds for this Saturday’s show, Heidi Gardner’s standout performance in the promo adds an extra layer of excitement. Who knows what unexpected laughs and surprises SNL has in store for its viewers? One thing is for sure: Heidi Gardner is a force to be reckoned with on the SNL stage.
