Furthermore, an episode usually begins with a cold open sketch and ends with someone breaking from the character and proclaiming, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!” thereby beginning the show.

At the same time, the “Only Murders in the Building” star also added that she’s “so grateful and so excited” to be on NBC’s iconic show. She ended her post with, “See you May 14!!!” In fact, Gomez’s mother, Mandy Teefey, replied via Instagram with an encouraging message: “You are going to own this!!! You have beyond made it, love!! XO.” So you can well understand that the actress’s mother is also pretty excited because of this event. Also, the Grammy-nominated singer’s friend, the famous singer Camila Cabello congratulated her on this achievement.
From Whom Selena can Take Advice Regarding How To Host The Show?
It is not surprising that the 29-year-old celebrity will feel a bit nervous before hosting the show. However, Selena need not worry as she has plenty of people from whom she can ask for advice regarding how to host the show. This list includes her “Only Murders in the Building” costars.
Stars like Steve Martin have hosted 15 times since 1976; however, he comes second only to Alec Baldwin, who has hosted the maximum number of times. Since its beginning, if you have watched the show, you will remember that Martin Short was a cast member in season 10 (1984 to 1985). In fact, he also returned to host three times. Needless to say, both the actors get along well with the Wizards of Waverly Place actress, so she can easily approach them if she has anything to clarify.
What are Selena Gomez’s Comments Regarding Her Costars?
There are very few stars who openly praise their costars in a TV show. Well, Selena actually feels blessed to have them as her co-stars. “First off, they’re legends, and they constantly make me laugh,” Gomez said of her leading men during an appearance on Live With Kelly and Ryan in January 2022.
She further praises them and says that her co-stars always make her feel wanted, and there is always a homely vibe when she is with them. Moreover, some of them also read the news to her every day and give her valuable advice when she is in trouble. So Gomez can approach any of the co-stars regarding this matter and get help within no time.
Ending Note
As per the sources, Gomez’s co-star Martin Short has already taught her a lot about comedy. This was long before she got the chance to appear as a host on SNL. Therefore, she need not feel nervous anymore, as her seniors are always there to help her out. We hope the actress is able to make an amazing appearance as a host on SNL.
