Overview
- In the first promo released Nov. 12, Powell dances through 30 Rock and Studio 8H in a clear homage to Christopher Walken’s Spike Jonze–directed video.
- The sequence ends with a staged front-flip fail that leads to a stretcher gag and Powell telling cast members, “Don’t. Tell. Lorne.”
- Cameos include Sarah Sherman and Andrew Dismukes, with the on-screen medic played by Tommy Brennan.
- Deadline notes the choreography is set to the track “Action Call” by composer Baptiste Thiry.
- Powell hosts SNL for the first time Nov. 15 with musical guest Olivia Dean, coinciding with the Nov. 14 theatrical release of The Running Man after a prior SNL cameo in 2024.
