After releasing a genuinely hilarious promo for his upcoming hosting duties just yesterday, Saturday Night Live has debuted some traditional promos for Brendan Gleeson's upcoming episode of the weekly comedy series. The new promos feature Gleeson, musical guest Willow , and series star Chloe Fineman, making jokes not only about his appearance in The Tragedy of Macbeth, his Irish roots, and also his work in the Paddington movies.
Considering the things that Saturday Night Live has harvested for its hosts in years past it wouldn't be surprising for a Paddington-themed sketch to make it to air this week. We previously theorized that Gleeson's time playing"Mad-Eye" Moody in the Harry Potter movies could be ripe fodder for the show, as well as the fact that he previously played Donald Trump in The Comey Rule on Showtime ..
The former president is a frequent target for ridicule by Saturday Night Live, even before he got into politics, but he's often lampooned on SNL. After Alec Baldwin stopped performing as Trump on the series, regular performer James Austin Johnson was given the gig, and has largely become the favorite for not only how he manages to nail Trump's voice but also his manner of speaking.
Even though only one episode of Saturday Night Live has been released in season 48. First the opening credits for the new season left off one key cast member, Cecily Strong, who wasn't previously confirmed to have departed; it was later confirmed that she will return to the series but is currently shooting another project. Another was after a sketch made it to air featuring host Miles Tenner and other mainstays dressed up as the bear family from the Charmin brand toilet paper commercials.
