NBC’s Saturday Night Live released a teaser for its December 16th show featuring musician Billie Eilish, comedian Kate McKinnon, and Ego Nwodim.
Kate will be the host of the show, and Billie Eilish will be a musical guest in the episode. The promotion started with the three celebrities discussing their favorite aspects of Christmas. While Ego and Billie mentioned typical things such as lights, decorations, and the Rockefeller tree, Kate listed unique things like Yule altar, root vegetables, and the birthday of the unconquered Sun God Mithra.
The previous responses took Ego and everyone else aback, as the Barbie star and former SNL member unexpectedly mentioned Candy Canes as something to lift the Christmas mood.
