‘SNL’ Cast Member Hits the Soulja Boy for Colman Domingo in New Promo

Soulja Boy is coming to the SNL stage, whether he likes it or not.

In a new promo for SNL‘s upcoming April 11 episode, cast member Veronika Slowikowska whips out some of her best tips and tricks to impress first-time host Colman Domingo and convince him to green light her wildest pitches.

In the video shared to YouTube on Wednesday (April 8), Domingo is apprehensive about Slowikowska’s ideas and unsure of what exactly she is trying to convey. The SNL comedian starts by introducing her character, Domingo’s incredibly loud upstairs neighbor. As she brings out a variety of props including a fake rat and a hobby horse, Domingo’s inner monologue lets viewers know that he hates her ideas. Unfortunately, his external response is mismatched with his internal one and he tells Slowikowska that her ideas are amazing.

Of course, this only stokes the comedian’s flame and she continues to whip out pitch after pitch and bad idea after bad idea for the actor’s approval. At one point she hits a very iconic 2000s dance.

“Is she doing Soulja Boy?” Domingo’s internal monologue asks while Slowikowska hits the all too familiar “Crank That” moves. In the end, Domingo can’t help himself and agrees to all of Slowikowska’s out-there ideas, leading him into an internal spiral.

Hopefully musical guest Anitta can help pull him out of this spiral by Saturday. The Brazilian super star is set to make her SNL debut alongside the first-time host. Anitta will appear on SNL two days after her new Shakira collab “Choka Choka” drops. Her seventh studio album, EQUILIBRIVM, is set to be released the Friday after her SNL performance, April 16.

Domingo and Anitta will be some of the last acts to take the SNL stage this season. The sketch comedy show also announced on Wednesday this season’s final slate of hosts and musical guests.

Olivia Rodrigo will make her SNL return by pulling double duty as host and musical guest on May 2. The pop star’s appearance on the show will mark her third time on the show but her first as a host. The stint is perfect promotion for Rodrigo’s upcoming third album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, set to release June 12. Though the album will not come until after her SNL performance, the lead single, “Drop Dead,” drops on April 17, just in time for her to debut it live on the show.

Third-time host Matt Damon and musical guest Noah Kahan will take the stage the following week on May 9. Kahan will likely perform songs from his fourth studio album The Great Divide, which comes out just two weeks prior on April 24.

Finally, sixth-timer Will Ferrell will host the last episode of the season with fifth-time musical guest Paul McCartney on May 16. McCartney’s new album The Boys of Dungeon Lane drops on May 29.

Fans can catch Saturday Night Live live on NBC at 11:30 p.m. ET and on streaming on Peacock.
