\n\tSoulja Boy is coming to the SNL <\/em>stage, whether he likes it or not.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a new promo for SNL<\/em>\u2018s 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. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn the video shared to YouTube on Wednesday (April 8), Domingo is apprehensive about Slowikowska\u2019s ideas and unsure of what exactly she is trying to convey. The SNL <\/em>comedian starts by introducing her character, Domingo\u2019s incredibly loud upstairs neighbor. As she brings out a variety of props including a fake rat and a hobby horse, Domingo\u2019s inner monologue lets viewers know that he hates<\/em> her ideas. Unfortunately, his external response is mismatched with his internal one and he tells Slowikowska that her ideas are amazing.<\/p>\n

\n\tOf course, this only stokes the comedian\u2019s flame and she continues to whip out pitch after pitch and bad idea after bad idea for the actor\u2019s approval. At one point she hits a very iconic 2000s dance.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIs she doing Soulja Boy?\u201d Domingo\u2019s internal monologue asks while Slowikowska hits the all too familiar \u201cCrank That\u201d moves. In the end, Domingo can\u2019t help himself and agrees to all of Slowikowska\u2019s out-there ideas, leading him into an internal spiral.<\/p>\n

\n\tHopefully musical guest Anitta can help pull him out of this spiral by Saturday. The Brazilian super star is set to make her SNL <\/em>debut alongside the first-time host. Anitta will appear on SNL<\/em> two days after her new Shakira collab \u201cChoka Choka\u201d drops. Her seventh studio album, EQUILIBRIVM<\/em>, is set to be released the Friday after her SNL<\/em> performance, April 16.<\/p>\n

\n\tDomingo and Anitta will be some of the last acts to take the SNL <\/em>stage this season. The sketch comedy show also announced on Wednesday this season\u2019s final slate of hosts and musical guests.<\/p>\n

\n\tOlivia Rodrigo will make her SNL <\/em>return by pulling double duty as host and musical guest on May 2. The pop star\u2019s 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\u2019s upcoming third album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love<\/em>, set to release June 12. Though the album will not come until after her SNL<\/em> performance, the lead single, \u201cDrop Dead,\u201d drops on April 17, just in time for her to debut it live on the show.<\/p>\n

\n\tThird-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<\/em>, which comes out just two weeks prior on April 24.<\/p>\n

\n\tFinally, sixth-timer Will Ferrell will host the last episode of the season with fifth-time musical guest Paul McCartney on May 16. McCartney\u2019s new album The Boys of Dungeon Lane<\/em> drops on May 29.<\/p>\n

\n\tFans can catch Saturday Night Live<\/em> live on NBC at 11:30 p.m. ET and on streaming on Peacock.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
