Bad Bunny took the stage Saturday night as the first host of the 51st season of “Saturday Night Live,” where he used the opportunity to make fun of Fox News hosts who criticized his selection as the 2026 Super Bowl Half Time Show performer.
During the monologue, Bad Bunny (also known as Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) played several clips of Fox News hosts edited together to humorously change their meaning. Rather than criticizing the singer like the anchors initially did, “SNL’s” edit had the hosts calling Bad Bunny their favorite artist and saying he should run for president. You can watch the clip below.
After addressing the Super Bowl controversy, Bad Bunny continued his monologue in Spanish, thanking his Latino fans for their support and speaking to the importance of Latino art.
“If you don’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn,” Bad Bunny said at the end of his monologue — four months before Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8, 2026.
Bad Bunny started the monologue by saying its his second time hosting “SNL,” and fourth time at the show, joking that “Marcello (Hernandez) is getting nervous that Lorne (Michaels) has a new favorite Latino.” Hernandez agreed.
Bad Bunny then called the hosting gig a break, allowing him to rest from the business of his 31-show residency. He then cut to a video where he injured himself dancing at one of his concerts.
