Bad Bunny's 'SNL' gig sees appearances from Pedro Pascal, Mick Jagger and Lady Gaga
Bad Bunny's guest list was one for the "Saturday Night Live" books.
The Puerto Rican rapper, 29, pulled double duty as host and musical performer for the NBC sketch comedy this weekend, which included surprise appearances by Pedro Pascal, Mick Jagger and Lady Gaga.
Bad Bunny (born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) opened the show by addressing concerns that he couldn't host, given that English "is not my first language." To help him out, he brought out Pascal to translate the Spanish portion of his monologue.
After the "Tití Me Preguntó" rapper fired off a few sentences in Spanish about his morning in New York, the actor jokingly translated: "He says, 'I'm blessed to be here with my favorite actor Pedro Pascal.' "
Pascal later reprised a skit from his stint hosting "SNL" last season, in which he played an overprotective mom who is less than thrilled with her son Luis' (Marcello Hernández) new girlfriend (Chloe Troast). In this case, Bad Bunny played an equally unimpressed aunt.
Jagger also made a return to "SNL" to support Bad Bunny. The show marked the rock icon's first time on the show since 2012.
The Rolling Stones front man turned up during Bad Bunny's telenovela skit with Hernández. As the two got into an argument on the set, Jagger jumped in to settle the fight by slapping both of them.
Jagger also joined the reggaeton artist for a sketch parody of "Sister Act 3."
Bad Bunny concluded his time on "SNL" with a performance of "Un Preview," with the help of an intro from Lady Gaga.
He followed up with a performance of "Monaco," introduced by Pascal.
Bad Bunny kept the vibes going after the show by attending an "SNL" afterparty with his rumored girlfriend Kendall Jenner, according to photos obtained by People.

Their outing comes weeks after they became the face of a new Gucci luggage campaign.
Jenner and Bad Bunny have engaged in many public outings, including nights out in New York City and sitting together at Gucci's fashion show during Milan Fashion Week. Their appearance also comes on the heels of Bad Bunny addressing his relationship with "The Kardashians" star ? well, sort of ? in a Vanity Fair cover story interview.
"They don't know how you feel, they don't know how you live, they don't know anything, and I really don't want them to know," he said of the public. "I'm not really interested in clarifying anything because I have no commitment to clarify anything to anyone."
