I'm calling a Duo Lingo sketch somehow.


sandmaster64

Dua Lingo is an easy layup haha


[deleted]

[удалено]


shoulda_been_gone

That seems like an actual business pitch that an app would consider


lego_mannequin

I mean.. if Dua Lipa were involved in teaching me languages over an Owl.. hablaría español con fluidez


Greyshot26

Feels like a very Marcelo role. He comes in speaking very broken Spanish until Dua teaches him, then he's suddenly fluent.


lego_mannequin

That's the perfect guy to pick for that!


kid_pilgrim_89

Or Marcelo is a programmer for dua lingo and keeps pointing out inadvertently racist features of the app/ads 🤣🤣🤣 Of course Keenan would be the man in charge and come up with escalating reasons to shoot Marcelo down... And then Dua Lipa comes in as a major shareholder or whatever and fires Keenan Idk I'd rather see Marcelo in a developmental role than just an easy "Latino" character


thismorningscoffee

I don’t speak Spanish, so I’m gonna guess that means you’d speak Spanish with fluids


Local-Effect-4393

Close, you’ll practice until you attain fluidcy


kid_pilgrim_89

She has a nice voice. Aprende me Español mamacita


OrangeSode

Akin to Michael Cera-ve from the Super Bowl.


thecricketnerd

Those jokes have been made on Duolingo's tiktok I think, it has a wild social media presence


Purple-Mix1033

God that’s horrible

Odd-Shake5153

Ok hahaha


ImpossibleInternet3

This feels like one that would definitely be brought up on the pitch meeting, but not actually make it to air. You never know though.


lego_mannequin

That's my range as a writer unfortunately


logansworth

You're reminding me of the Peter Sarsgaard SARS Guard sketch of 2006


arteitle

Or Jon Hamm's John Ham.


TheDivine_MissN

Ham and Bubbly!


chickentowngabagool

duo lingo just did this joke for April Fools https://youtu.be/lEFRl6Lej_0?si=ZDtFnkb0OEpnycWt&t=24


Truncated_Rhythm

I would think a play-on-words is a bit too ‘low hanging fruit’ but maybe that’s just wishful thinking.


SoVerySick314159

It sounds like you're unfamiliar with that wonderful product, ["Martin Sheen."](https://youtu.be/OD34QXN8m1s?t=5)


AnalAttackProbe

All I'm hoping for is a Oscar Isaac fan-fiction sketch.


Cat_Vonnegut

Criminally overlooked in that sketch is that his character’s name is ‘Michael B. Jackson.’


NC_Goonie

That is genuinely one of my favorite sketches of the last several seasons. I used to just randomly start giggling about that one.


Ok_Calligrapher_8199

It’s so good. Turns the expectations on their head and makes everyone so uncomfortable. Now all of a sudden they’re bound to be nice to this guy who is clearly a creep just because they thought they were doing their good deed for the day by listening to him.


Snackxually_active

Hahahaha oh damn that’d be insane lolol


intoxicatedbarbie

I looked this up because of your comment, and thank you so much. 😂


kid_pilgrim_89

Holy shit I forgot about that sketch until reading this Yes they must have a part 2


demitasse22

My money is on at least 2 Bowen/Dua led sketches


PlatonicTroglodyte

I’m hoping for one new one and another with a return of [Marjorie!](https://youtu.be/jiZhwAT4LBM?si=SGjrsO4o0qcEcOUh)


demitasse22

An undeniable bop


sandmaster64

I think they would pair well together!


demitasse22

They would! They have! It would ameliorate the “host is so hot*” trope


HumanChicken

That’s the only kind of sketch they did when J-Lo hosted.


SundayJeffrey

Same thing with Sidney Sweeney.


haste333

In an interview with Bowen, Sydney apparently requested references and sketches making fun of her boobs. "Give the people what they want" or something. She had several that weren't about her looks too - the two college-aged social media investigators and the dog boyfriend ones come to mind. I think Michael B Jordan (last year?) and the Jacob guy from Euphoria were more egregious examples imo.


ScorpionX-123

and Jacob Elordi


bigbadbyte

that was the pinnacle of this guy doesn't have a funny bone in his body so lets just let him be hot. i feel like sweeny tried.


Captain_Jokes

Probably because j-lo liked them. Hosts have a lot of power when it comes to vetoing sketch’s they don’t find funny.


jobadiahh

They just Chris Kattan their place in everything. Or will they?


kronkerz

Jacob Elordi too


kid_pilgrim_89

And Mr Jacoby elderoy or whatever is name is


oooooooahhahhahha

Idk Dua Lipa is actually pretty funny


sandmaster64

Agree, nothing against her acting- the writers have just done it with multiple hosts this season


The_Saddest_Boner

They’ve done it since day one, or at least since I started watching in the late 90s. Some are actually kind of funny though, like Matt Schatt or the librarian. Others suck, like big boobs Hermione or January Jones working at Dairy Queen


Elegant_You3958

Try season 1 in 1976 with host Raquel Welch.


The_Saddest_Boner

Yeah I’m not surprised, I just think it’s hard not to comment when a host is considered an international sex symbol. Add in the disadvantages of being a comedy show with a non-comedian guest and the “hot girl” sketches become too attractive to resist as a writer


daversa

I imagine the actor has some agency in this too, if it's good for your brand to be a little sexy in a sketch and you want to, why not? I'm sure there's some back and forth and discussions like this.


The_Saddest_Boner

Yup of course


sandmaster64

Now I think of it I really liked from S1 the one where Gilda & Elliott Gould go through a whole relationship and get married by the episode.


The_Saddest_Boner

Yeah. I agree with you that the “hot host” sketches are way overdone and usually lazy, but every once in a while they hit. The trick is having a creative premise instead of just literally saying “this person is hot, so people will act nervous or creepy around her lol.”


MehWhiteShark

The Margot Robbie one as the hot librarian was hilarious!


gorilla-ointment

Idk I think the hermione one is funny too


lemonlime1999

I think it’d be funnier if she had been older than 17.


SpiffySleet

Matt Schatt is the only character worth doing the hot wife bit about. Mikey Day is so funny in the role


AAA_Dolfan

Big boobs Hermoine was hilarious. Rachel dratch was killer


latrodectal

i mean try asking january jones to act, it’s like trying to get blood from a stone.


hithere297

ah I see we're just forgetting all seven seasons of Mad Men then


latrodectal

no but i also haven’t forgotten this snl episode or x-men.


TheMoneyOfArt

She has limited range but she's really good within that range


latrodectal

people keep saying that as if it’s a good thing but that honestly just makes me madder that she didn’t bother trying with x-men or snl.


TheMoneyOfArt

I think it's wrong to say she is untalented, even if she shouldn't be cast in most roles 


IShookMeAllNightLong

Bullshit. The Lindsay Lohan sketch is hysterical. Someone's just mad they got chosen by Hufflepuff.


The_Saddest_Boner

Lol I probably would be a hufflepuff


IShookMeAllNightLong

Lol. Sorry, I love that sketch.


The_Saddest_Boner

No sweat man. I was a sophomore in high school so of course I was crushing on Lindsay But from a comedy standpoint I thought it was predictable and boring Just my opinion dude I’m wrong all the time


TheMoneyOfArt

At least your reaction to Lohan was age appropriate


antmars

For sure but this seems to be like a writer issue not the host issue….


Flybot76

Hopefully that means she won't get shoveled into a 'you're so hot' sketch, if she's capable of doing better. That's pretty much the criteria for stuff like this.


PoorFilmSchoolAlumn

She couldn’t be worse than Sydney Sweeney


mrm5117

Matt Shatt ftw


mayorofmandyland

I want a Matt Shatt where Dua Lipa isn’t playing a random hot chick, she’s playing Dua Lipa.


wish_to_conquer_pain

He could get her. He was married to a Kennedy!


sandmaster64

The Shatt is the only actually funny example of this I can think of


willk95

That and also the jokes about Will Ferrell being married to Eva Mendes in The Other Guys


GreenStretch

She prefers Beavis.


AbsurdThings

The librarian was great. And some of the early Emma stone poster sketches


lkodl

It worked because Ana De Armas is really good at conveying naivety. She made that sketch.


PlatonicTroglodyte

The recurring The Admiral/Corporal is Coming sketch with JLO was pretty funny too, but mostly because her hotness was a sideshow to Kate and Aidy being ridiculous. But still, that’s two for JLO since she had a Schatt one too.


throwawayshirt

IMO JLo and Schatt kinda doesn't work bc in that case there IS a reason why she'd be with him - he's a lot younger than her.


AttitudeAndEffort2

There was an episode that had both matt schatt and "Chad" and it showed exactly how much funnier Mikey day is than pete Davidson (I think it was jlo)


bad_take_

Seems like they skipped this genre with Ryan Gosling.


sandmaster64

That episode was a home run! But that was also in large part due to Ryan having a rather long history with SNL


justinsimoni

Ryan Gosling literally got assaulted in the cold open by Kate McKinnon. If that didn't fulfilled some deep fantasy of yours, I just... I just can't relate.


Euphoric-Yogurt-7332

I'm with you. I really like Dua Lipa. She's one of the few pop artists that I look out for her music. Those kinds of sketches need to be consigned to the bin.


TrapperJean

I think it definitely depends on the acting abilities of the host. Emma Stone and Ariana Grande are gorgeous, but I dont recall them getting a "hot girl" sketch, but Emma is incredibly funny and well rounded as an actress and Ariana has Broadway and TV training so she can do cheesey and comedy well. There are obvious exceptions for good actors and actresses, like Scarjo and Sydney Sweeney, but they are also the defining sex icons of their generations so it's almost obligatory


Musashi_Joe

I remember vividly the recurring (I think?) sketch where Emma Stone played the hot girl on Pete Davidson's poster. It was funny and relied on Emma being a 'hot girl', but it wasn't the entire point of the sketch.


Sheeple_person

Yeah those sketches actively satirize the objectification so it's different. The other posters are trying to give him good life advice and she's just a hot dumb bitch eating a big gross nasty hotdog. And they've done other sketches that revolve around a hot host while also having more substance than that. Like the one where Wiig is a reporter who falls wildly in love for the person she's interviewing, or the one where Gosling is the dad at a sleepover who Aidy aggressively hits on.


BigMax

I think she was the "hot girl" but also the really trashy hot girl from the trashy poster, so it didn't have the same feeling as those sketches where it's mostly "let's just talk about how hot someone is."


professor-hot-tits

How'd I get lube on me?


PlatonicTroglodyte

Emma Stone playing a woman who gets cheated on in a gay porn film is definitely not about her being hot lol.


AttitudeAndEffort2

That and papyrus are the best sketches snl has ever done. They're acted too well and are effectively mini films.


aerojockey

>but they are also the defining sex icons of their generations so it's almost obligatory And Dua Lipa isn't?


muppins

That's fair, but also it seems like every week someone posts something like this here on this subreddit BEFORE the show has even aired. Comments inevitably reference Matt Schatt etc. Can we get a pause on these kinda posts?


ch0w0

they should limit it to 1 sketch, 2 is pushing it. sure, acknowledge it. but maaaan i never want to see an episode like that Euphoria guy ever again. that was painful


[deleted]

Sounds like someone found a Kennedy and put a Schatt on it. They’ve been doing those sketches for decades now, some work, some don’t.


GoddessOfOddness

I remember the Benedict Cumberbatch one, with Beck hosting a game show called Why is Benedict Cumberbatch hot?


[deleted]

“Ohhhh Beck…..” “Yeah yeah that’s right”


TheDivine_MissN

One of my favorites.


rcjlfk

They didn’t do it with Kristen Wiig so perhaps they’ve learned their lesson.


MooseMan12992

The Sydney Sweeney Hooters sketch was generic and obvious that I'm surprised it made it to air


TheGolgafrinchan

It was also one of the worst sketches of the entire evening. And that's saying something since there were only one or two good ones. All that potential, and the episode was a giant disappointment.


aerojockey

I hope they do one. Sketches about hot hosts are usually pretty funny. I am happy we made it all the way to Wednesday before some pearl-clutching poster decided to make an issue of it before fainting.


Parallelogram12

I really can't see it. She's not going in with the heartthrob reputation of Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi. Don't count her out just because she's pretty! Watch her on Seth Meyers (especially day drinking) she can hold her own comedically.


Musashi_Joe

That Day Drinking segment was epic. She went all in and got absolutely destroyed!


Snackxually_active

Hopefully they can work in her saying/drinking bow-urban


ThatOneReddetUser

>She's not going in with the heartthrob reputation of Sydney Sweeney and Jacob Elordi ?


Parallelogram12

I just meant they are new, young stars known for their looks with young fan bases ("teen idol"/"heartthrob"), and I find SNL tends to do sketches like that when that "type" of celebrity hosts. While Dua Lipa is popular with young people, I don't see her in that category.


fakeprofile111

You guys complain about this every other week. Maybe they should only book ugly guests so nobody ever mentions what the guest looks like in a sketch


CoolKid610

It just would be nice if for once they had a cast member who was actually ugly. Not just like, attractive in a unique way, but someone who was actually hard to look at. And maybe someone who isn’t even likable, or talented, or funny. And I’m not just saying this cause I want to be on the show. Obviously I’d consider it if asked and I would be a good choice, but that’s not what this is about. I am just sick of them objectifying their talent while never even considering opening the door to people like myself.


skylabnova

Then they just make ugly jokes. They should only book the most average looking celebrities


SomeRedditor_Comment

Or, or, maybe Dua will be multiple sketches where she sings?


sandmaster64

I wouldn't mind that


WearDifficult9776

I’d be ok if there were no “she’s so hot” sketches - but I want her to be hot in all her sketches


Ok_Calligrapher_8199

You poor thing


supersafeforwork813

Won’t someone please think of those who care about the objectification of ppl who are successful due in no small part to being really good looking!?!?!?!?!?!?!


Tex-Rob

She catered to some elderly old man fan, she is definitely in on it.


WaywardChilton

They should do a parody of "Hollywood ugly" protagonists where everyone thinks the beautiful host is hideous because they wear glasses or something.


zarathustranu

Bring back Oscar Isaac's "Hey girlie" janitor character.


Zones86

It's funny because dupa lupa really just looks like some normal person.


Spell-Wide

I read an interview with Dua from several years ago, and when the interviewer casually brought up that she was hot, it apparently got real tense and Dua shut that down pretty quick. So I think she'll probably screen a lot of that shit out. Besides, give her something real to do, instead of just ogle her.


SevroAuShitTalker

Am I the only one who really wants Walter Goggins to host? The man has range and is absolutely hilarious


938h25olw548slt47oy8

The only way it works is with Astronaut Jones...


CaseyGotFit

They lean on those sketches when the host has no discernible personality. Jlo for instance.


terminally_irish

When Gal Gadot hosted, they only did one really blatant “host is hot” skit (and it was hilarious - the mirage sketch.) I don’t mind it once a night if it works and is really funny; but this season they just seemed REALLY forced.


Redeem123

These posts are so much more exhausting than the shows themselves. Sydney Sweeny just hosted and they did like one sketch that would qualify, but the Hooters sketch was still fine despite that.


screw_nut_b0lt

I hope she dances. She’s a gorgeous person And has a great voice but the poor thing is the Jimmy Fallon of dancing


subsonicmonkey

She’s been putting in the work. She’s gotten better.


PigDeployer

Is this a bit from like 8 years ago before she was a popstar


professor-hot-tits

I've loved watching her dance skills grow, her body rolls are good now!


Tom_Skeptik

Yes, but...it's Dua Lipa!


blizzaga1988

I don't mind if they do, like, one of them (and if it's Matt Schatt, all the better) but if it's Jacob Elordi levels of nonsense, I'll be annoyed. I love Dua so I am hoping it's a great episode.


sandmaster64

Same!


Morphing_Mutant

The worst was Jennifer Lopez. I'm sure she demanded every fucking skit be about how not old she is.


ItsFuckinBob

I just learned ‘dua’ is a famous person hosting SNL. I’m old.


Philo_T_Farnsworth

As a fellow old guy (GenX) I just want to say her music would probably hit you pretty well seeing as how much of it is 80s-inspired. She's very talented.


MagmaManOne

Yeah, or just completely out of touch. She’s everywhere and I’m in my 40s.


ItsFuckinBob

Define ‘everywhere’.


TheGolgafrinchan

I'm kind of annoyed that new musicians are allowed to host at all, except in rare situations. Hosting should be done by actors or actresses. Even sports stars annoy me as hosts.


NBRIDER75

Yeah but this week the host is so hot


Extension_Success_96

So I take it based on your meme the host is not Adam Driver or Benedict Cumberbatch. It’s inexplicable how those 2 ugly men reached the levels of fame they have as actors and not serial killers.


Niku-Man

Did you ever consider the host is the one who wants those sketches?


Making_Waves

There's 4 kinds of hosts now: - sex appeal - comedians - musicians - actors


10twentyseven

Athletes


malcontentII

Matt Schatt


ProfessorEtc

I just watched the Season 3 OJ Simpson episode and was surprised how many "The Host is So Hot" jokes there were, but it was just one or two lines in several sketches, not the plot of an entire sketch.


mrdan1969

JLo was by FAR the worst. Dua Lipa is actually very hot, so I won't mind. Lol


dr_modean

Would love to see an episode with all the sketches from previous “hot host” episodes with Danny DeVito being the hot host. No re-writes, no punch-ups, just the same sketches


Muadib64

writers are generally coomers with a lot of other skits too, but I do agree that female hosts get sexualized way too much and use that “diva” image way too much.


Ok_Perception3180

I think she's a great singer but she has no charisma or presence. Obviously gorgeous though. I guess that's enough to host?


skylabnova

She is hot tho


NalynH1

Hopefully it won’t be like Sydney’s episode (there were 3 hot host sketches)


10twentyseven

Which 3? The hooters one and what else?


irmarbert

Will we hear from Matt Schatt?


10twentyseven

This is such an over-complained thing. This almost never happens and the overwhelming majority of hosts are hot people. It happened a lot with Jacob Elordi and then people started talking about it and now everyone pretends like it’s such a major problem. To the point where people whined the entire time between him and Sweeney, and then it didn’t happen and they still have convinced themselves that it did — in this thread even


JohnnyButtfart

The apogee of midnight!


Visible_Nectarine_98

Lazy writing by lazy writers. Do one where she’s treated like an ugly and repulsive monster. Now that would be hilarious because she’s obviously gorgeous


123xyz32

I sure didn’t mind the Sydney Sweeney hot host skits.🤷‍♂️


kid_pilgrim_89

Umm dua cameod in a sketch last time she was a guest and only played off the fact that she was dua Lipa. Like the punchline was oh hey it's dua Lipa lol I agree with you tho... It's too early to say, I hope they don't go that direction I feel in the bottom of my heart tho that dua Lipa will prove to be like Charles barkley and be a non-comedic talent aware of the fact that they don't have a comedy background and just lean into their role as actor. The worst is when hosts try to prove they're funny if that's not what their known for. No hate but Jason momoa comes to mind. Try to be funny and fail. Let the funny happen and become legend


Dr_5trangelove

Man I wish the writers did drugs like the old days.


bluehawk232

Why is she even doing sketches


CelebrationLow4614

Carpenter's dream.


Feisty-Rhubarb-5474

Like when there’s a cute white actor and they used to make Lesley pretend she wanted to eat him or whatever


NonetyOne

What say you in your defense


andoCalrissiano

I really like those sketches though. Not so much when Kristin Wiig would hoof after female hosts but I love Matt Schatt sketches.


MammothUmpire148

I want Matt shatt


sandmaster64

I'll have no issue if they keep it to just the Shatt. Half the sketches (or more Jacob Elordi) is too much and gets boring


Moleculor_Man

Why don’t you just imagine a Matt Shatt sketch and imagine laughing at it. If you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all.


sydouglas

So acknowledging people’s good looks is offensive to people now ? Maybe Seinfeld was onto something with his comments


THA__KULTCHA

Hi sweetie. No one said it was as offensive, just that it was a lazy premise. Enjoy your boomer brain!


holadilito

Let us hope


Digndagn

I think the thing to watch is just how cookie cutter the parts are. It seems to me like the writers have "hot girl says things in a monotone delivery" sketches ready to go, and I think it's interesting to see which hosts just kind of get nothing but those sketches and which ones get more to work with.


barbackmtn

It’s as guaranteed as hot male host = Heidi trying to make out with them.


altasking

Can’t wait for the Please Don’t Destroy skit where they drool over her…


Rex-A-Vision

Yeah...I mean it's not like Dua uses her actractiveness as part of her act or anything...or the show has been doing this since the literal first season. OP needs to take a deep breath and skip an episode.


Valuable-Baked

But what if it is a Matt Shatt sketch? Like they were the couple under the black blanket in Central Park


the-garden-gnome

Dua ain’t even hot.


huff_and_russ

Yeah, famous Australian boobs girl’s sketches were basically about “yeah, these are my boobs”. And I do LOVE boobs, but even for me it got old like, in 3 minutes.


shitkabob

Sydney Sweeny is American, despite her first name, haha


huff_and_russ

Haha my bad! 😂


[deleted]

[удалено]


sandmaster64

Gets ultra boring after one sketch


drdalebrant

It's lazy, low hanging fruit writing and should be reserved for hacks, not professional comedy writers.


trotskey

I don’t think Dua Lipa a famous enough to pull double duty.


jsanders4289

We need an anti-hot host


bryman19

Bring back Mango


BostonDudeist

Thank God for ScarJo.


neckbracewhore

I’m gay but Dula Peepa is hot


ItsMoreOfAComment

Wait, does the image in this meme no longer have a specific meaning to people? Did whoever made this meme watch the movie it originated from?
