CNN —Jacob Elordi is taking a step – and a bit of a tumble – toward preparing for his “Saturday Night Live” hosting debut in a new promo for the upcoming episode this weekend. After many hilariously feeble attempts, Elordi finally manages to take that step, but tumbles into a full face-plant right on the stage. Johnson and Hernandez are then seen fleeing the area, trying to pretend nothing happened. Splayed out on the floor, Elordi lifts his head just high enough to say, “I’m good!”The upcoming episode of “SNL” is the first show of 2024. Elordi will make his hosting debut alongside musical guest – and star of the new “Mean Girls” reboot – Reneé Rapp.

CNN —“Saturday Night Live” longtime executive producer Lorne Michaels has a few ideas about who may be best fit to succeed him when the comedic visionary retires. One of those potential successors could be esteemed “SNL” alum Tina Fey, whose name came up while Michaels was talking to Entertainment Tonight on the Emmys red carpet on Monday. “It could easily be Tina Fey,” he told the publication. Michaels, 79, has been affiliated with “Saturday Night Live” since creating it in 1975. Fey certainly knows enough about the ins and outs of “SNL” to join the ranks at the top, herself.
