Saturday Night Live has a fun lineup this weekend (October 8), with actor Brendan Gleeson hosting and Willow performing as a musical guest.
In a new promo for the episode released on Thursday (Oct. 6), the duo appear alongside SNL cast member Chloe Fineman, who gushed about Gleeson’s role as King Duncan in 2021’s Macbeth. The actor warns Willow and Fineman that saying “Macbeth” in a theatre is bad luck, but they both ignore him before a light falls from the ceiling behind them.
Later in the promo, the SNL comedian reveals that her favourite aspect of Ireland is its Irish accent. Willow mentions that her favourite aspect of the country is the music, whereas Gleeson, who is Irish, prefers a “Irish goodbye.”
Fineman, who had no idea what the term meant, quickly realises that she is alone onstage and that “Irish goodbye” means leaving a situation without saying goodbye.
Willow first appeared on the SNL stage as a guest of Camila Cabello during season 47, when the pair performed their collaboration “Pyschofreak” from the former Fifth Harmony member’s latest solo effort Familia.
“I’m honestly really, really surprised that I’ll be on SNL twice in one year, five months apart,” she told Zane Lowe of Apple Music 1. “That’s insane. I’m very excited. Obviously, I’m nervous because I’m with Camila [Cabello], a really, really good friend of mine. There’s a sense of security there, where you can look across the stage and say, ‘Girl, we’re in this together.’ We’re going to do it.’ I’m not exposing my soul on stage by myself. But now it’s just me on stage, baring my soul, and I’m grateful and excited, but also slightly s——g my pants.”
Willow’s new album COPINGMECHANISM> will be released on October 7. The full episode of Saturday Night Live will air on NBC on October 8 at 11:30 p.m. ET.
