Glen Powell’s SNL Promo Channels ‘Weapon of Choice’ Ahead of Hosting Debut

A Walken-inspired dance through 30 Rock ends with a tongue-in-cheek stretcher gag teasing Saturday’s episode.

Overview

  • NBC released the first teaser showing Powell dancing through the halls of 30 Rock in a clear homage to Christopher Walken’s Fatboy Slim video.
  • The promo confirms Powell will host Saturday Night Live on Nov. 15, with Olivia Dean set for her musical guest debut.
  • The sequence ends with a botched flip, a neck brace, a stretcher exit, and Powell saying, “Don’t. Tell. Lorne.”
  • Cast members Sarah Sherman and Andrew Dismukes appear in the tag as Powell is wheeled past them outside Studio 8H.
  • The spot lands during Powell’s broader publicity push, coinciding with The Running Man opening in theaters on Nov. 14.
