Teyana Taylor has just dropped the promo for her upcoming hosting gig on Saturday Night Live (SNL), and it's already got everyone talking. In a hilarious clip posted online, the singer and actress channels her inner Angela Bassett from the iconic 1995 film Waiting to Exhale.
The promo sees Taylor recreating one of Bassett's most memorable scenes, complete with dramatic music and some seriously intense yelling. As she tears apart Andrew Dismukes' office, setting his belongings on fire, she belts out the line "This mother sucker's psychotic." The delivery is spot-on, leaving fans eagerly anticipating her actual SNL hosting gig.
Taylor will bring the house down when she takes the stage as host of SNL on January 24. Geese will serve as musical guest for the episode, which marks Taylor's first time hosting the show. Last week's Finn Wolfhard-led episode marked a return to SNL after a brief hiatus, with A$AP Rocky making a memorable performance.
The full promo clip can be seen below, showcasing Taylor's impressive comedic chops and her uncanny resemblance to Bassett. With this kind of humor on display, it's clear that Teyana Taylor is going to bring the funny to SNL.
