Druski Makes SNL Hosting Debut With Emma Stone and Holmes Parody

Druski's first time hosting Saturday Night Live brought a surprise appearance from Emma Stone during his opening monologue. The pair joked about their upcoming film, The Catch.

Before the monologue, the show opened with a political sketch. Variety Movies described a busy cold open in which Texas Senator-elect James Talarico overshadowed Donald Trump.

During the Saturday, November 7 episode, Druski joked that he could not promise the show he would do "no whiteface," according to Deadline Hollywood. A later sketch followed through on that setup.

The pre-taped segment, titled Dru Can See Everything, parodied You Can See Everything. The Hollywood Reporter identified the original as Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's Elizabeth Holmes documentary.

Druski appeared as Holmes in whiteface. Jane Wickline also portrayed Holmes in the parody, according to The Wrap TV. Consequence of Sound described the sketch as combining the documentary spoof with Druski's own comedic style.

By November 8, the Holmes parody was the focus of several reports on Druski's debut, including coverage from Deadline Hollywood, Variety Movies and The Hollywood Reporter.

The broader episode also received a positive review from Bleeding Cool, which credited Druski, the cast and the writers with setting a high bar for Season 52. That is a critical assessment, rather than an audience or ratings result.
