Marcello Hernández on Saturday Night Live Season 50 Premiere alongside Mikey Madison in various roles

The latest Saturday Night Live episode featured Marcello playing a variety of roles throughout different segments. One of them was as an acting coach, where show host Mikey Madison also took part. He played the acting coach role while Madison was among the students.

When one of the students referred to his acting as "a little distracting," Marcello replied that he was the expert as he had three credits. He added:

"And who's the expert here? You, with zero acting credits or me with three?"

Further in the scene, they discussed a few most-talked-about scenes, including one from The White Lotus, about which Marcello told his students:

"Number 3, White Lotus. Auditioned for the incest scene with my biological brother, and I didn’t hate it."

In response, one of his students asked him about the scene that he didn't get, though he had that intimate scene with his brother.

Another scene involved a sports brand advertisement where, again, David suggested the right tagline, which Marcello was referring to as "Go to sleep!"

Fans also saw Madison during the segment, whom Marcello kept on referring to with funny names, including 'Connie, my slippery little beaver' and 'My star student, my queen.'

Saturday Night Live Season 50 premiered after a three-week-long hiatus, which all the viewers have been eagerly waiting for. Mikey Madison delivering the opening monologue was one of the much-awaited segments of the premiere.

Additionally, seeing such iconic characters including one played by Marcello Hernández, was also quite the talk of the town. Fans took to social media platform X and shared which moments they enjoyed the most.
