"Bad Bunny mocked conservative outrage over his Super Bowl gig on Saturday Night Live during his monologue to open the show with a doctored video of Fox News personalities. This week's edition of Saturday Night Live marked the first episode of the sketch comedy mainstay's 51st season. The host was Super Bowl splash-maker Bad Bunny, who became the first star in the history of the show to host after being the musical guest in the previous episode. It's his second time hosting."
"The rapper made light of the controversy in his opening monologue with a stitched-together declaration of love from Fox News personalities and a challenge in Spanish: BAD BUNNY: You might not know these, but I'm doing the Super Bowl halftime show. And I'm very happy. I'm happy, and I think everyone is happy about it. Even, even Fox News. FOX NEWS VIDEO MASH: Bad Bunny is my favorite musician, and he should be the next president."
Bad Bunny hosted Saturday Night Live's season 51 premiere, becoming the first performer to host immediately after appearing as the musical guest and marking his second time hosting. Doja Cat appeared as the musical guest in her first SNL appearance. Supporters of President Donald Trump expressed outrage at Bad Bunny’s selection as Super Bowl halftime headliner because of his vocal criticism and activism around Trump's deportation force. Bad Bunny responded to the backlash in his opening monologue by airing a doctored Fox News mash praising him, and he delivered Spanish-language remarks celebrating Latino contributions while challenging critics to learn in four months.
