Fans of Mikey Madison are excited about a specific blue-bottled guest star (as well as her comic skills, of course) as she prepares for her first hosting appearance on Saturday Night Live (SNL) on March 29, 2025. Reminiscent of influencer Ashton Hall's well-known morning ritual, a new promotional image features Madison at the SNL table read, surrounded by the now-famous Saratoga water bottles. The internet's keen observation of this subtle nod has resulted in a mass of clever responses.
One particularly sharp-eyed fan, @StaceyATyler, commented under a post featuring Madison's photo:
"Blue bottles, fruit and her expressions is kinda like 'save me' did Ashton try to offer her a job? 🤔"
This quip humorously suggests that Madison's setup mirrors Hall's meticulous morning rituals, sparking a wave of similar observations.
