After a Trump-centric cold open that featured the return of Tom Hanks’ David S. Pumpkins, “Saturday Night Live” host Inde Navarrette took the stage at Studio 8H for her first opening monologue. It was a smart choice to have the star of the year’s horror hit “Obsession” (and the Internet’s apparent obsession) make her hosting debut on Halloween night, and the 25-year-old rising star seemed more than ready for the occasion, unlike a certain stand-up comedian.
“You probably know me from the movie “Obsession.” And a lot of people ask me if I look like my character Nikki and I say, “No…no, no, don’t do that!” “, she joked, slipping into Nikki’s cadence. “But the problem is, I’m nothing like my character in ‘Obsession.’ For example, my boyfriend is here tonight to support me and we have such a relaxing relationship, don’t we?
The camera then cut to Navarrette’s boyfriend, Nick Aiello, in the crowd, tied and gagged to a chair. Next, the actress took a photo of Shane Gillis’ “SNL” monologue from earlier this month.
“I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m going to star in a Marvel movie,” said Navarrette, who will play Rogue in the new “X-Men” movie. “And I know it’s really important to Marvel that you’re really in shape, so I work out a lot, so every morning I put on my little whore outfit and go to the gym.”
Gillis received a lot of flak for a lame, lazy joke about how women dress like “whores” now when they go to the gym in “neon, like artificial bait” colored shorts.
