- Druski, 32, opened his SNL hosting monologue by calling it “a dream” and noting that the show had tapped its first exclusively digital creator, marking its first major foray into the creator space.
- Druski said he would not be “watered down” by SNL and joked about doing whiteface while addressing rumors about looking like a lesbian, taking Ozempic and being known only as a white woman.
- Druski announced that he had finished filming his first movie with Emma Stone and said she was there, after which Stone came onstage and addressed his description of their scenes.
- Druski told the audience he was playing Emma Stone’s love interest in The Catch; Stone replied that they were not romantically involved and said he may have misread their scenes.
- The Catch pairs Druski with two-time Oscar winner Emma Stone in the upcoming Universal Pictures comedy directed by Stone’s husband, Dave McCary, a former SNL segment director and writer.
- Druski said he loved Emma Stone’s performance in Bugonia, then clarified that he only wanted to be the first Black guy to say it, prompting a surprised response from Stone.
Why it matters: For SNL, choosing Druski—the show’s first exclusively digital creator—made its first major creator-space foray concrete before the monologue even reached its film cameo. Emma Stone’s on-stage correction then supplied the second-order payoff: Druski’s announcement became a live joke rather than a simple promotional plug.
